Learning and Development Manager

We are looking for a Learning and Development Manager to join our team in Edinburgh.

Join our Learning & Development team and play a key role in delivering impactful development opportunities that help our people grow, thrive, and perform at their best.

This is a varied and rewarding role where no two days are the same. You’ll support the delivery of learning programmes across the firm, ensure a seamless learner experience, and work closely with stakeholders to coordinate training activity from start to finish.

• Lead and evolve the JC Aspire programme, creating learning experiences that help colleagues grow.
• Improve the Learning Management System (LMS) experience and support colleagues to get the most from it.
• Shape and deliver manager development programmes, including Line Manager Essentials.
• Build strong relationships across the business to understand learning needs and recommend solutions.
• Use insight and feedback to improve learning, colleague experience and overall impact.
• Lead mentoring and newly qualified programmes, supporting colleagues at key career stages.
• Contribute to wider learning and people initiatives, helping build a positive learning culture.

• Previous experience in a role at a similar level is essential.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to manage and build relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
• Commercial awareness and strategic thinking skills.
• Ability to promote a positive learning culture.
• Line management experience is advantageous.
• Experience in designing and delivering both face to face and online learning programmes from end to end.
• Line management experience would be an advantage but not essential.
• Knowledge and understanding at a strategic L&D level.

We look forward to hearing from you.
