• Are you intrigued by developing other facilitators to deliver top quality client experiences?
• Are you constantly exploring new ways to help organizations achieve their leadership and talent development goals?
• Does building consulting offerings to support client talent development needs energize you?

Well, this may be the role for you. Ready to make your mark?

ADP is hiring a Director of Learning & Leader Development Facilitation to serve as the Head of Facilitation for our StandOut learning and leader development business while partnering with Advisory leadership to evolve leader effectiveness consulting across Talent Solutions.

Grounded in decades of research on engagement and performance, our technology, coaching, consulting, and education offerings help organizations build more teams like their best teams. This role ensures that our facilitated learning experiences remain differentiated, scalable, and strategically aligned with the future of leadership development.

This role is recognized as subject matter expert and strategic leader within ADP Talent Solutions, serving as a practitioner and enterprise practice leader - driving facilitation excellence, faculty leadership, and the continued evolution of leader development consulting across Talent Solutions. As StandOut's lead Principal Facilitator, you will guide and develop a global faculty community while delivering high-impact leadership experiences for clients. You will partner closely with Advisory, Talent Relationship, Operations, and Talent Insights & Content teams to shape learning strategies, strengthen client adoption, and ensure consistent, high-quality delivery at scale while also anticipating market, client and organizational needs and translating them into scalable leader development facilitation and consulting strategies. This role has broad impact across Talent Solutions, influencing facilitation strategy, advisory integration, product evolution, and client outcomes at scale.

You will balance hands-on facilitation with strategic influence - from leading executive workshops and certifying facilitators to advising clients on leader effectiveness and contributing to the development of new advisory offerings. Success in this role requires deep expertise, strategic foresight, and the ability to solve complex, ambiguous challenges that have broad business impact and support modern, global learners.

To thrive in this position, you bring at least 12 years of professional facilitation experience across frontline and executive audiences, along with demonstrated experience developing other facilitators. StandOut Principal Facilitator certification - or readiness to achieve it - is strongly preferred. You have a strong foundation in leadership development and professional coaching methodologies, the ability to connect learning experiences to business outcomes, and a passion for helping organizations activate talent through strengths-based approaches.
