Learning and Development Manager in City of London

Robert Half is partnering with an exciting B2B energy business, making big waves in the market. We are in search of a Learning and Development Manager.

Location: West London

Working pattern: Hybrid – 3 days per week in the office (flexible on days)

The Opportunity

This is a newly created Learning & Development Manager role within a fast-growing B2B energy business that’s scaling quickly in both size and ambition. The HR function is well established and highly valued, and Learning & Development is the next major investment area.

Rather than stepping into an existing framework, this role offers a genuine greenfield opportunity to design, build and deliver an L&D strategy from the ground up. There is strong senior leadership buy-in, a clear appetite to expand training across the business, and real momentum behind creating a culture of continuous learning.

This is a highly visible, hands-on role for someone who enjoys both strategic thinking and rolling up their sleeves to deliver engaging, high-impact learning themselves.

Responsibilities:

• Partnering with senior leaders and Heads of Department to understand capability needs
• Identifying organisational, team and individual skill gaps
• Designing and personally delivering engaging soft-skills and management development programmes
• Coordinating technical and role-specific training in partnership with internal subject-matter experts
• Creating opportunities for cross-skilling and knowledge-sharing across teams
• Building and embedding succession planning frameworks
• Developing clear learning pathways for early-career and graduate populations
• Supporting and upskilling internal trainers and facilitators
• Setting, tracking and reporting on company-wide L&D objectives and outcomes
• Measuring the effectiveness of learning interventions and continuously refining approach
• Championing modern, blended and creative learning methodologies
• Working closely with HR colleagues to ensure L&D aligns with the wider people and talent strategy

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being both the architect and the facilitator - not just designing programmes, but delivering them and seeing the impact first-hand.

Challenges you will tackle:

• Building an L&D offering from the ground up
• Moving from ad-hoc training to a structured, scalable learning strategy
• Engaging a young, fast-paced audience and avoiding “tick-box” training
• Balancing creativity with commercial relevance
• Embedding a genuine culture of continuous learning

About You:

Essential experience:

• Proven background in Learning & Development within a fast-paced or less structured environment
• Hands-on experience designing and delivering training yourself
• Strong facilitation and presentation skills, with the ability to engage and energise diverse audiences
• Entrepreneurial, creative mindset with confidence to start from a blank page
• Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence at all levels
• Comfortable working autonomously and taking full ownership

Nice to have:

• Experience working closely with HR and talent teams
• Exposure to succession planning and talent frameworks
• Experience building L&D functions or programmes from scratch

Why This Role Stands Out:

• A rare opportunity to shape the entire L&D agenda in a growing business
• High visibility role with strong senior leadership support
• Immediate opportunity to make a tangible, lasting impact
• Long-term scope to evolve the role as the business continues to scale
