• Maintain learning and development content on internal communication platforms and produce promotional materials.
• Monitor and analyse learning data, producing reports and insights.
• Coordinate authorisation processes for learning requests and support invoice processing.

• Experience working in Learning & Development, including training administration and event coordination.
• Strong organisational and time‑management skills.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Confidence working with data, systems, and Microsoft Office.
• Ability to work independently and use sound judgement.
