Digital Learning & Solutions Lead - Automotive Training Provider

Up to £43,000 + £4,200 car allowance

Full-time, Permanent

Hybrid (Regular travel to Reading and Farnborough required)

Are you passionate about digital learning and excited by the idea of modernising how people learn?

Do you enjoy blending strategy with hands‑on creativity and love turning good learning into great learning?

If so, this role gives you the chance to shape an organisation's entire digital learning direction. You'll play a key part in building a modern, blended learning ecosystem and helping teams embrace a more innovative, digital‑first future.

If you understand learning technology, enjoy collaborating with people at all levels, and like being the person who makes things better, this could genuinely be a career‑defining move.

The Role

As the Digital Learning & Solutions Lead, you'll help elevate and improve digital learning across a well‑established automotive training academy known for delivering high‑quality training.

Your focus will be to modernise the digital experience – not just through standalone digital content, but by creating digital solutions that work seamlessly alongside face‑to‑face training.

This is a varied role that combines:

• Digital learning strategy
• Hands‑on content creation
• Internal consultancy
• Working closely with stakeholders
• LMS and learning technology optimisation

You'll have plenty of autonomy to set the digital direction, with support from a capable team of training managers, instructional designers, learning designers and subject matter experts.

What You'll Be Doing

• Developing and embedding a clear digital and blended learning strategy.
• Refreshing and modernising digital learning content across multiple formats.
• Reviewing current offerings and spotting opportunities where digital tools can improve efficiency, accessibility and engagement.
• Working closely with training teams and SMEs to design and review digital learning solutions.
• Leading improvements to the Learning Management System (LMS) and its user experience.
• Coaching colleagues so they feel more confident with digital tools and approaches.
• Introducing innovative ideas – from AI‑enabled learning to personalised pathways and analytics.
• Adapting and localising global digital content for UK learners.
• Building strong relationships across the organisation and championing digital learning.
• Driving digital transformation through creative, learner‑focused thinking.

Who We're Looking For

Essential Experience

• A strong background in digital learning, instructional design or learning technology.
• Comfortable working within blended learning environments.
• Able to design or support the creation of e‑learning, video, animation and other digital resources.
• Excellent stakeholder management and relationship‑building skills.
• Curious, innovative and passionate about modern learning approaches.
• Experience supporting or improving an LMS (Cornerstone experience is helpful but not essential).

Desirable Skills

• Experience with digital learning tools such as Articulate, Adobe, Vyond, etc.
• Basic HTML/CSS for small LMS customisations or troubleshooting.
• Experience managing external digital vendors.
• Understanding of AI‑supported learning or digital learning analytics.
• Experience within the automotive or training provider sectors (useful, but absolutely not essential).

Personal Qualities

• Resilient, energetic and comfortable driving cultural change.
• Creative, curious and open to experimenting with new ideas.
• Confident leading digital direction and owning your projects.
• A clear, natural communicator who can influence at all levels.

Working Pattern

• Hybrid working with a minimum of 2 days per week onsite across Reading or Farnborough.
• UK travel to additional training sites from time to time.
• Occasional international travel.
• Full-time, permanent position.

Package

• £43,000 salary
• £4,200 car allowance
• Additional benefits package (details shared during the process)
