• Align content with overall learning strategy and business needs
• Collaborate with subject matter experts (SMEs) to design and deliver engaging, high-quality learning materials (e.g. e-learning, videos, guides, toolkits)
• Apply instructional design principles and adult learning theory to content creation and development
• Support the digital delivery of programmes (virtual sessions, blended learning journeys, toolkits etc.)
• Liaise with and complete supplier set up with all external learning providers (across the Talent Development team), platform partners, and content creators as required
• Manage onboarding and contracts of third-party suppliers across the Talent Development team
• Own the learning budget administration; raise POs, track spend and reconcile invoices
• Maintain accurate records of spend, provide management reporting and ensure alignment with budget allocations
• Identify cost efficiencies and ensure compliance with procurement policies
