Manager Learning Development Jobs in Columbus, OH

Wider Circle is a mission-driven healthcare organization working to improve health outcomes for older adults and complex populations by addressing social and clinical barriers to care. Through trusted relationships and community-based support, we partner with health plans and local organizations to help members navigate healthcare, stay engaged in care, and live healthier lives.

We are building a permanent clinical program that integrates physicians, care advocates, and community support teams into a coordinated, human approach to care and we need someone to make sure every person on that team is set up to deliver exceptional care from day one.

We're looking for a Senior Learning & Development Lead who is equal parts instructional designer, facilitator, and program owner. You'll design and run the onboarding, training, and ongoing enablement experience for our Care Advocates and provide ad hoc support for physician onboarding as our clinical team grows. Reporting into HR, you'll partner closely with Clinical Operations and our broader L&D team.

Healthcare context matters here. Our work touches clinical workflows, health plan compliance requirements, billing documentation, and the lives of medically complex members. We're not looking for someone who will spend their first six months learning what a Care Advocate actually does we want someone already familiar with healthcare L&D who can hit the ground building.

This is a role for a proactive collaborator who is comfortable and excited to work across departments. You don't wait to be asked you see what's missing and go after it. You'll own TalentLMS end-to-end, develop high-quality learning content from scratch, and track onboarding readiness so closely that you know a new hire is falling behind on Day 3 and are able to intervene on Day 4.

Your north star: drive the behavior changes that help our Care Advocates deliver exceptional member care while consistently meeting documentation and compliance requirements. Success will be measured by onboarding readiness, time-to-productivity, team Net Promoter Score, quality metrics, and retention.
