Job description

Woodforde Group is partnering with a well‑established international organisation experiencing continued growth and investment in its people agenda.

Known for its collaborative culture and commitment to professional development, the business is seeking an experienced Learning & Development Specialist to support the ongoing growth of its workforce and leadership population.

This is an opportunity to step into a highly visible role where your ideas, energy and expertise will be valued from day one.

Your Opportunity

This is an exciting opportunity for an L&D professional who genuinely lives and breathes learning and development.

As the local L&D specialist, you will partner with leaders to understand their people and capability challenges, identify development priorities and create learning experiences that make a genuine difference.

Importantly, this is not a role where you will simply design strategy from the sidelines. You will have the opportunity to shape, develop, facilitate and see your initiatives come to life.

Your remit will include:

• Driving leadership and capability development initiatives across ANZ
• Designing and facilitating engaging learning programs and workshops
• Partnering with leaders to identify development opportunities
• Supporting coaching, mentoring and career development initiatives
• Managing L&D programs from design through to evaluation
• Measuring learning outcomes and driving continuous improvement
• Collaborating with global stakeholders on broader development initiatives

About You

You have deliberately built your career in Learning & Development and are passionate about helping people reach their potential.

You are comfortable working autonomously, but equally enjoy getting out into the business, building relationships with leaders and understanding what their teams need to perform at their best.

You will bring:

• Experience in Learning & Development, Capability, Talent or Organisational Development
• Strong facilitation and program design experience
• Exposure to leadership development initiatives
• Excellent stakeholder engagement and influencing skills
• Experience identifying capability gaps and implementing learning solutions
• The ability to work autonomously while building strong relationships across the business
• A genuine passion for learning, leadership and capability development

Experience across coaching, mentoring, change, commercial capability or technical/operational environments will be highly regarded.

Your Benefits

This is an opportunity to take real ownership of L&D locally while still having access to the resources and expertise of a global organisation.

• Newly created role with the opportunity to make your mark
• High levels of autonomy and ownership
• Direct exposure to leaders and decision‑makers
• Blend of strategic and hands‑on L&D work
• Regional and global collaboration opportunities
• Brisbane‑based role within a supportive culture
• Genuine scope for long‑term career growth

This is a full-time, office‑based position in Brisbane. Some interstate travel will be required, with potential exposure to broader regional initiatives.

A pre‑employment medical assessment will form part of the recruitment process.
