About us:

We are champions of rail, inspired to build a greener, more sustainable future of travel. Trainline enables millions of travellers to find and book the best value tickets across carriers, fares, and journey options through our highly rated mobile app, website, and B2B partner channels.

Great journeys start with Trainline

Now Europe’s number 1 downloaded rail app, with over 125 million monthly visits and £5.9 billion in annual ticket sales, we collaborate with 270+ rail and coach companies in over 40 countries. We want to create a world where travel is as simple, seamless, and affordable as it should be.

Today, we're a FTSE 250 company driven by our incredible team of over 1,000 Trainliners from 50+ nationalities, based across London, Paris, Barcelona, Milan, Edinburgh and Madrid. With our focus on growth in the UK and Europe, now is the perfect time to join us on this high-speed journey.

As a L&D Partner at Trainline, you will play a pivotal role in designing, delivering, and managing a broad range of learning and development initiatives that support our people’s growth and the company’s evolving culture. This role requires a versatile and proactive professional who can manage multiple projects simultaneously, from leadership and management development programs to onboarding and mentoring schemes.

As a L&D Partner at Trainline, you will be involved in…

• Program Ownership: Take full ownership of key learning and development programs such as Women in Leadership, Early Careers, and Mid-Management Development, ensuring successful design, delivery, and continuous improvement.

• Project Management: Lead and coordinate multiple L&D projects simultaneously, managing stakeholders, timelines, and resources to deliver impactful learning experiences on schedule.

• Content Design & Facilitation: Develop engaging learning content and facilitate workshops and training sessions, both independently and in collaboration with external providers, to support employee growth and development.

• Stakeholder Collaboration: Work closely with HR Business Partners, senior leaders, and the wider People team to align L&D initiatives with business needs and culture transformation goals.

• Data & Insights: Use skills gap analysis and impact measurement to evaluate the effectiveness of learning programs and identify opportunities to enhance learning strategies.

• Team Leadership & Support: Provide guidance and direction to junior team members, such as the Learning Coordinator, fostering a collaborative and high-performing L&D function.

• Culture & Innovation: Contribute to shaping Trainline’s evolving culture by supporting initiatives around emerging talent, internal mobility, and new learning technologies, including AI adoption.

We'd love to hear from you if you have...

• Proven experience in Learning & Development with a strong generalist background, able to manage and deliver a variety of L&D programs and projects.

• Excellent project management skills.

• Strong facilitation and content design skills.

• Passion for L&D and a growth mindset are most important.

• Experience supporting leadership development, early careers, and mentoring programs is highly desirable but not essential.

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, able to engage with stakeholders across all levels and functions.

• Ability to work with data to conduct skills gap analysis and measure the impact of learning initiatives.

• A proactive, adaptable mindset with the ability to work independently.

• Comfortable working collaboratively with junior team members, providing guidance and direction as needed.
