• Learning Management System (LMS) and AI Integration: Use AI applications to create personalised learning experiences and predictive analytics to anticipate training needs. Use AI driven tools to design and deliver L&D solutions, enhancing programme effectiveness. Manage, review and evolve LMS platform to support development frameworks and PDP creation.
• Strategy Development and Execution: Create, deliver, and continuously review L&D strategies to ensure alignment with business goals.
• Onboarding Efficiency: Create solutions to ensure new hires become effective in their roles as quickly as possible.
• Budget Management: Conduct learning budget review to create efficiencies and manage effectively.

The Secret Sauce:

• Solutions Focused: Ability to develop tailored, effective L&D solutions.
• Influencing Skills: Strong ability to influence and engage stakeholders at all levels.
• Analytical Skills: Ability in analysing data to drive decisions and measure impact.
