JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

Learning Needs and Programme Design

• Partner with business leaders, partners, HRBPs and other stakeholders to identify individual, team and organisational capability needs.
• Analyse performance feedback, business priorities and talent data to distinguish genuine learning needs from broader performance or organisational issues.
• Translate identified needs into structured learning journeys, workshops and development initiatives for professionals at different career stages.

• Design and develop high-quality presentations, facilitator guides, participant materials, toolkits, case studies, simulations and other learning resources.
• Adapt external frameworks and content to suit the context, culture and requirements of a professional-services firm.

Facilitation and Learning Delivery

• Independently facilitate behavioural skills programmes in areas such as communication, feedback, time/ people management, collaboration and personal effectiveness.
• Deliver sessions with confidence and credibility to varied audiences, including lawyers and allied professionals.
• Support internal subject-matter experts and leaders in structuring and delivering effective learning sessions.

Programme Management and Implementation

• Take end-to-end ownership of learning initiatives - from conceptualisation and stakeholder alignment to launch, delivery, follow-through and evaluation.
• Manage multiple programmes simultaneously while maintaining high standards of quality, responsiveness and attention to detail.
• Coordinate effectively with internal teams, external facilitators and vendors to ensure seamless programme delivery.
• Track programme progress, participation, feedback, learning application and other agreed measures of effectiveness.

Stakeholder Engagement

• Build trusted relationships with partners, senior leaders, HR colleagues and professionals across the Firm.
• Understand stakeholder expectations, ask the right diagnostic questions and constructively influence decisions relating to learning and development.
• Present ideas and recommendations clearly, confidently and persuasively.
• Work collaboratively across functions and offices while remaining accountable for agreed outcomes.

• Relevant qualifications or certifications in Instructional Design, Facilitation, Behavioural Training, Coaching or Psychometric Tools would be an advantage.
• Relevant experience in Learning & Development, Talent Development or Organisational Development.
• Meaningful L&D experience within a professional-services environment—such as a Law Firm, Consulting Firm, Big 4, Financial Services organisation or other knowledge-led enterprise—would be good to have.

Skills and Capabilities

• Strong instructional-design and content-development capability.
• Confident and engaging facilitation skills.
• Excellent command of spoken and written English.

• Sound business understanding and an appreciation of the expectations and working environment of professional-services firms.
