You will serve as the primary contact for all enquiries, managing the entire lifecycle of learning and development events — from researching external providers to evaluating feedback.

You will join a team of experts in the field of HR, and who believe in working collaboratively to support each other with their goals and priorities. We are advocates for knowledge sharing and open to new ideas or innovative solutions to solve problems or improve processes we have already in place.

About You
