About the role

Responsibilities

  • Serve as a strategic thought partner to People Partners and people leaders on learning and capability development, helping them diagnose needs, apply L&D principles, and build capability in their teams.
  • Design scalable tools, playbooks, learning pathways, and frameworks that build lasting capability.
  • Consult on capability building needs across the organization, effectively diagnosing the need and underlying skill gaps, aligning solutions with organizational priorities, and right-sizing the response for sustainability at scale.
  • Design and facilitate structured development programs, including core skills and career growth experiences, ensuring they connect to performance and career development processes.
  • Partner with the L&D Manager and broader PDE team to ensure learning approaches are coherent and connected.
  • Evaluate and manage external learning vendors when needed.

Requirements

  • 6+ years of experience in L&D, organizational development, or a related field, with a track record of balancing strategy and execution.
  • Strong consulting and advisory skills. You can effectively diagnose capability needs, recommend right-sized solutions, and influence without direct authority.
  • Experience building scalable learning infrastructure (playbooks, toolkits, frameworks) that enable others to deliver.
  • Strong project management and business acumen. You can manage multiple workstreams, hold vendors accountable, and connect learning investments to business outcomes.
  • The experience and confidence to manage expectations, push back on requests that aren't high priority, and recommend lighter-touch solutions when needed.
  • A genuinely collaborative approach. You share credit, invite input, and find satisfaction in enabling others.

Nice-to-Haves

  • Familiarity with connecting individual development to organizational readiness.
  • Experience making learning relevant and accessible for a workforce under constant demand.
  • Comfort with ambiguity and evolving scope; this role will grow and change as the function evolves.
