What You Will Be Doing
This is a great opportunity for an L&D professional who can think strategically and deliver practically.

- Design and deliver practical development interventions that address priority capability gaps and support business performance.
- Build manager and leader capability, helping them create the conditions for people to perform, develop, and grow through their work.

- Work with leaders and People teams to use insight, data, and conversation to identify capability gaps, succession risks, and future talent needs.
- Strengthen the leadership pipeline by turning talent and succession insight into practical development actions.
- Manage providers and learning partners so activity is targeted, high quality, and delivers clear value for the business.
- Use data, feedback, and business insight to evaluate impact, improve what we do, and make informed decisions about where learning will add the most value.
- Build a learning culture where formal development is used where it adds value, and everyday work gives people the chance to keep growing.
