Manager, Partner Training

Strategy and Program Design

Create a partner training strategy aligned with firm goals. Collaborate with the Professional Development, Lateral Partner Integration, Partner Retreat, and Inclusion & Engagement Committees to tailor programs, including Partner Orientations, to newly-promoted partners, lateral partners, partners in leadership positions, and the partnership more broadly. Incorporate interactive workshops, simulations, case studies, and peer learning forums, as appropriate, as well as individual and/or group executive coaching.

Leverage adult learning and behavioral science principles to drive adoption and skill transfer.

Conduct ongoing needs analyses using qualitative and quantitative inputs (e.g., performance data, partner feedback, client metrics, matter economics, inclusion and engagement and talent indicators) to develop targeted learning objectives and development pathways. Define KPIs and success metrics for partner training initiatives, and use data to refine programs, demonstrate ROI, and provide reports to firm leadership.

Select and manage external facilitators, executive coaches, and content vendors. Negotiate scope and budget, and ensure quality and consistency with firm culture and standards.

Coordinate with Risk and General Counsel teams to embed ethical and compliance considerations into training, and ensure consistency with firm policies, professional responsibility and confidentiality obligations, and client expectations.

Coordinate with the Associate Director, Training and Development and the Director of Professional Development to assist with other training and professional development initiatives, as needed.
