Learning and Development Specialist — Digital Skills Mapping for NATO with security clearance

WLG; Oeiras; On-site; EUR 42,000 - 64,000; Full time

Job summary

WLG seeks a Training Requirements Analyst to map and extend training plans across data and AI roles in a large defence environment. The role focuses on aligning education offerings with competency frameworks and industry standards, ensuring accuracy of digital training plans, and reporting on progress.

You will lead end-to-end analysis, collaborate across disciplines, and present to executive audiences while developing measurable training objectives and performance metrics.

Qualifications

• A master's degree in education and training, learning sciences, data science or information systems with post-degree experience behind it, or a bachelor's in the same fields with more.
• A solid track record with a structured approach to training design — a systems approach to training, or a comparable methodology used seriously.
• Strong analytical habits: reading large volumes of organisational data on roles, competencies and trends, and drawing something usable out of it.
• Proven use of the Skills Framework for the Information Age to assess, map or develop workforce competencies.
• An understanding of how a large military organisation is structured, how its education and training facilities work, and how capability development actually runs.
• Familiarity with digital transformation and with data and artificial intelligence concepts, and the ability to translate a technology trend into what it means for people and posts.
• Confident English in writing and in the room: reading strategic documentation and producing material an executive audience will read.
• Comfort with office automation tools, collaboration portals and workflow features, and hands-on time with learning management systems.
• Demonstrable competence in identifying training requirements and writing performance objectives, and the autonomy to carry the work without being steered.
• Nice to have: quality assurance inside an education and training environment, practical knowledge of military communication and information systems, and time spent in an international setting with both military and civilian colleagues.

Responsibilities

• Map identified skill requirements in the discipline against the education and training already on offer, and naming plainly where it falls short.
• Extend an earlier analysis so that data and artificial intelligence posts are mapped to the Skills Framework for the Information Age.
• Review the newly introduced digital training plan for accuracy and currency, taking in lessons learned and where the discipline is visibly heading.
• Run the training requirements analysis cycle end to end for the data and artificial intelligence functional area — the preparatory meeting, the collection of requirements and opportunities, and the working groups that settle them.
• Write the training requirements analysis report the project will be judged on.
• Represent the discipline at the annual industry engagement and planning events.
• Produce the monthly situation reporting and the quarterly programme of work reporting.

Job description

A multinational defence organisation is working out how to grow data and artificial intelligence skills right across its workforce. This post belongs to the person who turns that ambition into a concrete training plan, backed by analysis rather than by assumption.

What You Would Be Doing

• Extending an earlier analysis so that data and artificial intelligence posts are mapped to the Skills Framework for the Information Age.
• Reviewing the newly introduced digital training plan for accuracy and currency, taking in lessons learned and where the discipline is visibly heading.
• Running the training requirements analysis cycle end to end for the data and artificial intelligence functional area — the preparatory meeting, the collection of requirements and opportunities, and the working groups that settle them.
• Writing the training requirements analysis report the project will be judged on.
• Representing the discipline at the annual industry engagement and planning events.
• Producing the monthly situation reporting and the quarterly programme of work reporting.

What you would bring

• Strong analytical habits: reading large volumes of organisational data on roles, competencies and trends, and drawing something usable out of it.
