The opportunity

The Supervising Associate plays a pivotal role in the strategic planning, deployment, and delivery of Tech Consulting and firmwide learning programs. This role also supports cross-service-line initiatives and contributes to broader learning strategies across the organization.

By managing a diverse array of learning operations functions—including vendor management, budgeting, and stakeholder experience management—the Supervising Associate ensures seamless integration and execution of learning programs.

These plans forecast the number and location of classes, webcasts, and eLearnings, identify target learners, outline communication needs, and prepare and assign instructors.
