We are looking for a smart, hands-on and self-sufficient L&D Specialist to join our HR team. This is an individual contributor role with end-to-end responsibility for Learning & Development activities across the business.

The right person should be comfortable working independently, engaging with stakeholders at different levels, identifying learning needs, designing and delivering interventions, and measuring the effectiveness of training.

This is not a role that is limited to training coordination or administration. We are looking for someone who can own the L&D agenda from end to end and get things done.

Key Responsibilities

1. Learning Needs & Training Strategy

• Partner with business and HR stakeholders to understand capability and performance gaps.
• Conduct Training Needs Analysis (TNA) and identify development priorities.
• Translate business requirements into practical learning interventions.
• Build and maintain annual and quarterly L&D plans.

2. Training Design & Delivery

• Design and deliver instructor-led and virtual training programs.
• Develop training content, presentations, facilitator guides, assessments and other learning materials.
• Facilitate onboarding, induction, behavioural, soft skills, process and functional training as required.
• Adapt training programs based on business requirements and learner feedback.
• Support leadership and employee development initiatives.

3. End-to-End L&D Ownership

• Own the complete training lifecycle from requirement identification through implementation and evaluation.
• Coordinate training calendars, nominations, attendance and completion.
• Maintain accurate L&D records and documentation.
• Monitor mandatory and compliance-related learning requirements.
• Ensure training programs are delivered within agreed timelines.

4. Learning Effectiveness & Metrics

• Establish and track training effectiveness measures.
• Monitor participation, completion, assessment results and learner feedback.
• Evaluate whether training is translating into improved performance.
• Prepare regular L&D reports and dashboards for HR and business stakeholders.
• Use data and feedback to continuously improve learning programs.

5. Stakeholder Management

• Work closely with HR, Operations, business leaders and functional teams.
• Act as the L&D point of contact for assigned business areas.
• Understand business priorities and proactively recommend learning solutions.
• Manage external training providers and consultants when required.
• Build strong working relationships with internal stakeholders.

6. Employee Development

• Support career development and capability-building initiatives.
• Assist in identifying development needs for high-potential and critical talent.
• Support succession planning and leadership development initiatives.
• Promote a learning culture across the organisation.

What We Are Looking For

• 3–5 years of relevant L&D / Learning & Development experience.
• Strong hands-on experience across the end-to-end L&D lifecycle.
• Experience in designing and delivering training programs.
• Strong facilitation and presentation skills.
• Experience working with business stakeholders and HR teams.
• Good understanding of Training Needs Analysis and learning effectiveness.
• Strong MS PowerPoint and Excel skills.
• Experience with LMS / learning platforms will be an advantage.
• Ability to manage multiple priorities independently.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced and changing environment.

The Person We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who is:

• Smart and proactive
• Self-sufficient and comfortable working independently
• Hands-on rather than purely coordination-focused
• Commercially aware and able to understand business requirements
• Comfortable challenging existing approaches and suggesting better solutions
• Strong in stakeholder management
• Good at taking ownership and following through
• Comfortable managing multiple priorities without constant supervision
• Practical and execution-focused
• Able to move between strategy, planning and hands-on delivery
