Senior Manager, Intermediary Learning & Development - Transport in Manchester

Accountable for defining and delivering a commercially relevant, scalable training strategy across Consumer Distribution, with a strong focus on OEM partners, dealer and franchise networks. The role exists to ensure that customer facing teams have the capability, confidence and technical competence required to support growth, retention, regulatory compliance and customer outcomes across the transport ecosystem. This role leads the end to end training lifecycle — from needs analysis and curriculum design through to delivery, accreditation, performance uplift and return on investment measurement — working closely with Dealer & OEM partners, Distribution teams, Product, Risk, Compliance and Operations.

What you’ll be doing

This is a senior, commercially embedded training role focused on driving performance, capability and customer outcomes across Consumer Distribution, with a strong emphasis on OEM partners, dealer and franchise networks. You’ll be accountable for defining and delivering a scalable, commercially relevant learning strategy that supports growth, retention and regulatory compliance across the transport ecosystem. This role exists to ensure customer‐facing teams — both internal and through third‐party partners — have the confidence, capability and technical competence needed to succeed in complex intermediary environments. Leading the end‐to‐end training lifecycle, you’ll identify capability gaps across OEMs, dealer networks and internal distribution teams, designing and delivering impactful learning solutions aligned to commercial priorities, partner needs and customer journeys. Your work will span products, propositions, systems, customer journeys and conduct requirements, delivered through blended learning approaches including digital, virtual and face‐to‐face. You’ll work closely with Distribution, Product, Risk, Compliance and Operations teams to ensure all learning is accurate, approved and audit‐ready, translating regulatory and statutory requirements into clear, practical and effective training. Monitoring effectiveness through MI, feedback and performance outcomes, you’ll continuously refine content and delivery to maximise impact.

We’re transforming at pace — investing heavily in our people, data and technology to change the way we serve customers and partners. Consumer Distribution plays a critical role in that transformation, and this role gives you the opportunity to shape learning at the heart of our intermediary and OEM relationships.
