Working closely with an influential CHRO and senior stakeholders across the business, you will play a key role in fostering a high-performance culture, developing future leaders and ensuring employees have the skills and support to thrive throughout their careers.

The role offers significant visibility, autonomy and the opportunity to have a genuine impact across an international organisation.

• Coaching: Ideally a qualified coach, you will manage the firm’s coaching offering and provide one-to-one support to individuals across the organisation.
• Drive Operational Excellence: Willing to roll up your sleeves and get stuck in - whether that’s refining processes, supporting delivery logistics, or ensuring learning initiatives run smoothly and effectively

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years proven experience in a learning and development role, ideally within financial or professional services.
• Strong understanding of what “good” looks like in L&D, with an entrepreneurial mindset and a hands-on approach. Good attention to detail and high standards are key.
• Experience designing and delivering training programmes, both in-person and online.
