  • Personally facilitate workshops and deliver learning experiences, particularly for Mid-Level Leaders (Directors/Senior Directors).
  • Provide coaching and support to individual leaders as needed, helping to drive personal and professional development.

Measurement & Optimization
  • Define success metrics and measure the effectiveness of all learning programs through feedback, performance data, business KPIs, and evaluation tools.
  • Regularly assess program outcomes and make data-driven improvements to content, delivery, and learner engagement.
  • Report on learning impact to senior leadership and stakeholders to demonstrate ROI and influence future investments.

Collaboration & Influence
  • Collaborate with HR Business Partners, People Leaders, and Business Unit leaders to align learning solutions with strategic business goals.
  • Build credibility and trust across all levels of the organization through clear communication, partnership, and high-quality execution.
  • Serve as a strategic partner and subject matter expert on learning and development best practices.

What We're Looking For...
  • Bachelor's degree in Organizational Development, Human Resources, Education, or a related field
  • 3+ years of people management experience
  • 10+ years of progressive experience in Learning & Development, including designing, delivering, and evaluating leadership development programs
  • Solid experience coaching and facilitating learning for leaders up to and including the Senior Director level
  • Strong cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder influence skills across varying levels of the business
  • Proven ability to manage end-to-end program delivery-from strategic planning to administrative execution
  • Excellent facilitation, presentation, and communication skills
  • Analytical mindset with experience in program evaluation and measurement
  • Comfort working independently in a fast-paced, high-growth environment

Preferred:
