Engineering L&D & Leadership Architect

The Talent Lever; Singapore; On-site; SGD 120,000 - 180,000; Full time

Job summary

The Talent Lever is seeking a seasoned L&D leader to build and own a comprehensive learning and development function for a Singapore-headquartered tech-forward team. You’ll design curriculum, budgets and metrics to lift capability across engineers, data scientists and cybersecurity specialists.

You’ll drive programs that teach communication, influence, negotiation and leadership without authority, while creating a manager pipeline that preserves engineering excellence.

Qualifications

• 6–10 years in L&D, talent development or organizational development, with at least one function or major programme built
• Real facilitation craft — you can hold a room of sceptical engineers
• Experience developing technical populations (tech, engineering, data, cyber) strongly preferred
• Instructional design fluency plus comfort with modern learning stacks and AI learning tools
• Evidence your programmes changed outcomes — promotion, retention, performance
• A growth mindset with new technology — you learn the tools before you're told to, and you're honest about what you don't know yet
• The ability to give feedback that lands and receive it without armour
• Stakeholder management across functions — you keep the right people close, informed, and on side
• Communication skills that hold up with senior leaders — clear, concise, and credible in the rooms where decisions get made

Responsibilities

• Build the L&D strategy from the ground up — capability framework, curriculum, budget, and the metrics that prove it
• Design and deliver the human-skills programmes technical talent actually needs: communication, influence, negotiation, stakeholder management, leading without authority
• Create the manager pipeline — turning senior engineers into people leaders without losing the engineering
• Deploy AI-enabled learning tools where they genuinely help, and defend human-led development where it matters
• Partner HRBPs and engineering leadership so development ties to promotion, retention and delivery — not attendance
• Measure what matters: behaviour change, promotion rates, retention of high performers — not completion rates
