We’re partnering with a high-growth, international fintech business as they continue to scale their UK operation.
They are looking for a Learning & Leadership Partner to join their London team and play a key role in developing managers, strengthening leadership capability and building a high-performance culture across the business.
This is a hands-on, commercially focused role for someone who enjoys being close to the business.

You’ll:
- Coach managers 1:1 and in groups on leadership, accountability, performance and difficult conversations
- Support first-time managers in developing strong and consistent leadership habits
- Design and deliver practical leadership development sessions
- Coach managers through performance conversations, probation and challenging people situations
- Support the embedding of consistent leadership and performance standards
- Partner with People teams to identify capability gaps and trends across the organisation
- Work with commercial and training teams to identify leadership gaps impacting productivity and performance
- Translate business priorities into targeted learning and leadership interventions
- Provide recommendations to senior HR leadership around development priorities and capability risks
- Help build a strong, consistent and high-performance leadership culture
