We are seeking an experienced and execution-focused learning leader to join our team as Director, Learning & Leadership Development. This role will be the delivery engine behind BlackLine's learning programs — designing, building, and delivering the full learning portfolio across a global workforce of approximately 1,900 employees. Reporting to the Senior Director, Talent Development & Engagement, the ideal candidate pairs modern, AI-enabled learning design with the operational discipline to run programs at scale and the leadership presence to develop a high-performing delivery team.

• Build & Deliver the Full Learning Portfolio: Design, build, and deliver BlackLine's full learning program portfolio — onboarding, professional development, management and leadership development, and capability-building — executing the strategy set with the Senior Director, TD&E.
• Design and Facilitate Leadership & Manager Development Programs: Design, build, and facilitate leadership and management development programs across all levels: emerging leaders, first-time people managers, senior leaders, and high-potential talent.
• Drive Manager Effectiveness at Scale: Build and deliver manager effectiveness programming grounded in connector-manager behaviors — regular feedback, coaching, recognition, and accountability — scaled across BlackLine's global people-manager population.
• Run High-Potential & Emerging Leader Programs: Deliver the high-potential and emerging-leader development programs, coordinating assessments, 360-degree feedback, and executive coaching logistics in partnership with the Sr. Director.
• Architect Modern Learning Experiences: Design and build learning experiences that prioritize relevance, speed, application, and measurable impact — favoring embedded microlearning, manager reinforcement tools, cohort-based learning, and performance support over episodic, classroom-style training.
• Design & Run Structured Onboarding: Build and run structured onboarding and ramp experiences across the organization, including role-specific 30-60-90-day pathways, buddy program coordination, and time-to-productivity tracking.
• Operate the Learning Technology Ecosystem: Operate BlackLine's learning technology stack day-to-day — LMS/LXP platforms, AI-enabled authoring tools, content libraries, and learning operations workflow — ensuring a high-quality and scalable learner experience.
• Produce Learning Analytics & Program Reporting: Generate and deliver the learning and program analytics — manager effectiveness scores, time-to-productivity, learner adoption, and behavior change indicators — that inform the Sr. Director's executive dashboard and CPO-level reporting.
• Manage Vendors, Budget & Partnerships: Own learning vendor relationships, content partnerships, and program budgets end-to-end, delivering quality outcomes on time and on budget across a global, distributed workforce.
• Support the leadership of the L&LD Delivery Team: Partner with the Sr. Director of Talent Development and Engagement to drive clear standards for learning quality, program governance, measurement rigor, and on-time delivery, while fostering a culture of experimentation and continuous improvement.

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Organizational Development, Education, Business, or a related field, or equivalent work experience. Advanced degree preferred.
• 10+ years of progressive experience in Learning & Development, Leadership Development, or Talent Development, with a demonstrated track record of building and delivering high-impact programs.
• 5+ years leading learning or talent development teams, including experience in matrixed, globally distributed, or hybrid work environments.
• Demonstrated experience designing, building, and facilitating leadership and manager development programs at enterprise scale.
• Hands-on experience operating learning technologies including LMS/LXP platforms and AI-enabled learning authoring and delivery tools.
• Strong facilitation skills and the ability to translate strategy into well-executed, measurable programs for audiences of varying seniority.
• Experience delivering programs across a global, distributed workforce, with an understanding of regional localization needs.
• Analytical mindset with experience using learning and people data to measure program impact, identify improvements, and build business cases.
• Experience in SaaS, fintech, or high-growth technology organizations preferred.
• Familiarity with AI-enabled work models and experience building or delivering digital-capability or AI-fluency learning programs preferred.
• Experience with learning-in-the-flow-of-work methodologies and modern instructional design approaches preferred.
• Certifications in facilitation, instructional design (ATD), coaching (ICF), or leadership assessment (DISC, EQ-i) preferred.
• Collaborative, low-ego operator who builds trust across cross-functional teams and thrives as an execution leader within a broader strategic agenda.
• Ability to travel up to 20% domestically and internationally to support global programs, leadership events, and team delivery.

• A technology-based company with a sense of adventure and a vision for the future. Every door at BlackLine is open. Just bring your brains, your problem-solving skills, and be part of a winning team at the world's most trusted name in Finance Automation!
