Senior Manager, Learning & Delivery

Senior Manager, Learning & Delivery | Fortive Role Summary

The Senior Manager, Learning & Delivery helps Fortive Operating Companies build the capabilities they need to win by creating practical, reusable learning content and curriculum, directly facilitating key Fortive-wide programs, and leading work that supports business outcomes in the flow of work. This role turns capability gaps into clear learning experiences that strengthen leader and employee capability and help the business move faster.

In practice, this role turns priority capability needs into practical, reusable learning solutions, serves as the lead facilitator for Fortive-wide programs including ECO, FBSLO, Ignite, and ALE at Talent Edge, and manages the Learning & Delivery Specialist as a player-coach who stays close to the work. It operates with a bias for fast, resourceful builds—curating off-the-shelf learning where it fits, using external benchmarks to raise quality, and adding Fortive-specific context only when it makes the content more useful.

This role leads critical design and delivery moments, sets direction for delegated work, provides coaching and performance feedback to the Learning & Delivery Specialist, and ensures learning solutions are practical, customer-focused, and easy for OpCos to use.

• Partner with Talent Planning and Talent Enablement Partners to turn capability needs into clear learning outcomes and effective learning and development solutions the business can use quickly.
• Frame learning demand in an 80/20 way: define the reusable core that helps OpCos move faster and the last-mile customization needed for local relevance and adoption.
• Manage the Learning & Delivery Specialist by setting priorities, allocating work, reviewing output, and providing coaching and performance feedback so execution stays responsive, practical, and aligned to customer needs.

• Design and develop curricula and content that OpCos can deploy with minimal friction—clear, practical, and built for real leader and employee use in the flow of work.

• Focus content development on priority capabilities such as GEM leadership capabilities, FBS Fundamentals, people leadership, change management, onboarding, and other roadmap-driven needs.
• Build content with a reuse-first mindset: start with off-the-shelf learning when it fits, then add Fortive or OpCo examples only when they improve usefulness, uptake, and outcomes.
• Serve as the lead facilitator for Fortive-wide programs including ECO, FBSLO, Ignite, and ALE at Talent Edge, with accountability for delivery quality, learner experience, and continuous improvement across those flagship programs.
• Personally lead the most critical content builds and other high-visibility learning moments, while coaching and reviewing work completed by the Learning & Delivery Specialist.
• Own the design and development of change management curriculum and capability-building content, in partnership with the FBS Office, for localized delivery through TE Partners.

• Operate with a bias for quick pilots: test with one or more OpCos, measure usefulness and adoption, iterate fast, and scale what works.
• Run tight VOC loops with Talent Enablement Partners, learners, and OpCo HR and people leaders to improve content clarity, usability, and real-world application.
• Coach the Learning & Delivery Specialist through pilot cycles, content refinement, and facilitation feedback so the team improves output over time and responds quickly to customer input.
• Define lightweight effectiveness measures such as participation, completion, on-the-job use, leader feedback, and business-aligned outcomes where possible, and use results to improve both the content and the delivery approach.
