• Translate enterprise learning frameworks and standards into practical, business-relevant solutions, balancing local context with consistency and quality.
• Manage external vendor relationships, ensuring quality deliverables, cost accountability, and alignment with program objectives.
• Enable strong rollout and adoption by planning communications, change support, and integration into business rhythms (leader enablement, reinforcement, sustainment).
• Monitor learning effectiveness using qualitative and quantitative insights (feedback, adoption, learning data, business/skill outcomes where available) and drive continuous improvement.
• Support facilitation as needed (virtual and/or in-person), including leading sessions or enabling other facilitators to deliver consistently high-quality experiences.

What you'll bring (preferred)

• Experience in learning & development as a consultant/partner (needs analysis, solutioning, stakeholder management).
• Strong portfolio/program management skills, including prioritization and governance.
• Ability to influence leaders and navigate ambiguity in a matrixed environment.
• Familiarity with learning measurement and using data to drive decisions.
• Drive to stay current on development trends and leverage AI tools to scale repeatable tasks, improve consistency, and enhance program quality.
• Facilitation experience in virtual and/or in-person environments.

Education/Experience Required

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience; advanced degree preferred (Organizational Development, Adult Learning, Business, or related field); 7+ years in learning & development, organizational development, talent management or related field, including program management, facilitation, and coaching.
• Demonstrated experience developing leaders across levels in a global, matrixed organization.
• Strong project management skills; experience managing budgets and vendors.
