Job description

Re:work is partnering with a fast-growing international financial services group to find a Global Head of Learning and Leadership Development.

The company has ambitious plans to scale from 2,000 to 3,500 people across Europe, the US, and APAC over the next five years. Learning and leadership will be central to that growth.

You’ll report to the Talent Director and lead a global team of ten. It’s a high-impact, visible role with strong executive backing and the space to make bold change.

This is a rebuild, not a maintenance role. The team has experience, but it needs fresh direction, modern tools and a leader who can connect learning directly to business performance. Someone who can bring energy, clarity and a progressive mindset to a function that’s ready to evolve.

What you’ll do

• Redefine the global learning and leadership strategy to drive measurable business impact
• Introduce modern, digital, and data-led learning practices that scale effectively across regions
• Create a unified leadership framework for executives, managers, and future leaders
• Partner with senior stakeholders to build capability, culture, and performance through learning
• Lead, coach, and develop a distributed global team across Europe, the US, and Asia
• Strengthen early careers and professional development programmes to build a strong leadership pipeline
• Use insight, analytics, and experimentation to track results and guide investment decisions

What success looks like

• A refreshed global strategy and operating model agreed with the executive team
• Leadership programmes rebuilt with strong engagement and visible results
• Digital and data-driven learning ecosystem embedded across regions
• Clear metrics showing progress in capability, engagement, and retention
• A motivated, modern L&D team recognised for pace, creativity and business impact

What you’ll bring

• Experience leading Learning & Development and Leadership Development at scale across multiple countries
• A record of transforming learning functions and linking them to measurable outcomes
• Credibility and confidence with senior executives, combined with a collaborative, down-to-earth style
• Curiosity and practical experience applying digital and AI tools to improve learning
• Energy, resilience and the ability to lead teams through change
• A balance of strategy and execution, able to set vision and make it happen

What’s on offer

• Permanent role based in Central London or Luxembourg with hybrid working (2 to 3 days in the office)
• Competitive base salary, 10% bonus, and equity
• 27 days’ holiday, private medical, income protection, pension, and life assurance
• A rare opportunity to redefine how a global financial organisation builds leadership and capability during a major growth phase

The process

1. Intro call with Re:work
2. Conversation with the Talent Director and Leadership Development Program Manager
3. Second stage with peers in the Talent & Growth team
4. Final panel with senior stakeholders, including a short presentation on how you’d approach building a modern global learning strategy

If you’ve rebuilt learning and leadership functions that deliver real performance impact and you’re ready to do it again on a global stage, we’d love to hear from you!
