Job Details

What You’ll Do

• Partner with business leaders, HR, and stakeholders to identify performance gaps, capability needs, and workforce readiness risks.
• Recommend the appropriate mix of learning, coaching, reference guides, performance support, manager reinforcement, and process improvements.
• Embed learning in the flow of work — through the LMS/LXP, collaboration tools, and job aids delivered at the point of need — so capability-building is continuous rather than event-based.
• Partner cross-functionally with the PMO, IT and business-system owners, Learning and HR Technology, the Training team, and vendors to embed learning and performance support into existing workflows and systems, and to optimize the learning platforms and tools that deliver it at the point of need.
• Design role-based learning paths, capability frameworks, upskilling/reskilling journeys, and assessment strategies.
• Set the design operating model and standards that the instructional designers, trainers, and Training Manager execute against, partnering with the VP of Talent Development to govern intake, prioritization, and quality — replacing ad-hoc requests with a repeatable process.
• Partner with learning designers on architecture, learner solutions, assessment strategies, and user experience.
• Lead the adoption of AI-enabled learning practices, including content acceleration, coaching simulations, personalized learning pathways, knowledge support, and assessment strategies while establishing governance and quality standards
• Build reusable, AI-accelerated content operations (component/reusable content, templates, and shared asset libraries) so the team produces higher-quality solutions faster and at scale.
• Stay current on learning technology trends and recommend practical innovations that improve learning effectiveness, efficiency, and impact.
• Define success metrics aligned to learning outcomes, behavior change, adoption, stakeholder satisfaction, and business results.
• Use data and feedback to evaluate effectiveness, improve learning solutions, and inform Talent Development leadership’s investment decisions. Apply a defined evaluation framework (e.g., Kirkpatrick / Phillips ROI) with baseline and post-implementation measures.
• Facilitate discovery sessions, needs assessments, and design and governance reviews. Influence stakeholders without direct authority.
• Mentor learning professionals in performance consulting, learning architecture, measurement, and AI-enabled design.
• Lead complex learning initiatives from discovery through implementation and continuous improvement.
• Develop reusable frameworks, playbooks, and standards that strengthen the Learning & Development function.
• Perform other duties as assigned.
