Define regional learning agendas aligned with the global strategy and, where required, reflecting varying levels of learning maturity, in line with TLC standards.
• Lead needs analyses with PX Business Partners and leaders; convert insight into scalable, measurable learning solutions that improve performance, skills, and capability development.

• Lead through a matrix: directly manage relevant local learning roles and provide support and coaching to the extended TLC team, Learning Ambassadors, and cross‑regional contributors to ensure consistent quality and adoption.
• Ensure governance and coherence: reduce duplication, maintain quality, and partner with internal content/design/communications and external partners where appropriate.
• Embed measurement: define success metrics and reporting, share executive‑ready insights, and continuously improve experiences based on data and feedback.

Who you are:

• Proven senior learning leader with significant experience designing and facilitating learning experiences (live and virtual) that deliver measurable behaviour change.
• Strong people leader with experience coaching and developing teams across geographies, cultures, and time zones.
• Confident working in matrixed organizations with dual reporting lines and high stakeholder complexity.
• Culturally fluent and agile - able to tailor content and approach across regions, audiences, role functions, and business contexts.

• Flexible, adaptable and experienced in creative environments
• Proven ability to influence and partner with senior leaders and cross‑functional stakeholders
• Expertise in adult learning principles, leadership frameworks, and learning measurement methodologies.
