London | 11-Month Contract
We're hiring an experienced Talent Development Programme Manager to join the Employee Experience function of a major global technology business, leading the delivery of leadership development and talent programmes across EMEA.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of high-profile learning and development initiatives within a sophisticated, global and highly matrixed organisation. You'll work closely with HR Business Partners, business leaders and global Talent Development teams, translating business and regional priorities into engaging learning experiences that make a measurable difference to employees and leaders.
This isn't purely a strategy role. We're looking for someone who enjoys making things happen and can combine strong Talent Development / L&D expertise with exceptional programme management and operational delivery.
What you'll be doing
You'll manage a portfolio of leadership and talent development programmes across EMEA, taking responsibility for the complete programme lifecycle - from planning and stakeholder engagement through to communications, delivery, measurement and continuous improvement.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Leading end-to-end delivery of leadership, talent and employee development programmes across EMEA
- Partnering with HRBPs, business leaders and global Talent Development colleagues to identify regional requirements and priorities
- Managing multiple programmes and workstreams simultaneously in a fast-moving international environment
- Creating engaging, accessible and memorable learning and employee experiences
- Managing programme operations including budgets, vendors, facilitators, learning systems, communications and reporting
- Building programme communications that drive awareness, participation and engagement
- Using learner feedback, engagement data and programme insights to measure effectiveness and continually improve delivery
- Applying AI and GenAI tools to improve communications, analyse feedback, streamline administration and create more efficient programme workflows
- Identifying opportunities to simplify processes and improve the scalability and effectiveness of Talent Development delivery
