This role combines strategy and execution, with responsibility for both shaping program direction and delivering the work, while partnering with the broader L&D team to ensure consistency across programs, tools, and standards.

DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

Strategy & Needs Diagnosis

• Identify & Diagnose Learning Needs Stay attuned to learner feedback, performance trends, and business or organizational changes within the assigned stream, and use that awareness to proactively bring ideas and recommendations to leaders on where learning strategy is needed. Also respond to direct requests from leaders as they arise.
• Translate business goals and performance gaps into learning strategies and recommend the right solution - a full program build, a targeted intervention, or a job aid.
• Represent L&D in stakeholder planning conversations as needed.

Program Design & Delivery

• Own End-to-End Design & Delivery of Core Programs Lead the design, development, facilitation, and measurement of key initiatives within the assigned business stream (e.g., Servicing University, Sales University, Funding University, or enterprise leadership development programs) - whether that means taking an existing program and evolving it, or building something new from the ground up. Determine content structure, sequencing, and delivery approach, adapting to different learner populations to maximize engagement and retention.
• Support Program Delivery Across Other Departments as Needed Provide consultation, facilitation, or logistical support for learning initiatives in other business streams or cross-departmental initiatives, ensuring smooth execution and a consistent learner experience without pulling focus from core program ownership.

• Work with LMS administration on course setup, records, and reporting needs to support on-time program delivery.

Measurement & Standards

• Measure Impact & Drive Continuous Improvement Build and own measurement frameworks to evaluate learner outcomes, program effectiveness, and business impact.

REQUIRED SKILLS

3-5 years of progressive experience in training delivery, facilitation, instructional design, or learning and development.

Solid experiences in live facilitation for audiences ranging from frontline employees to senior executives; candidates should expect a facilitation demonstration as part of the selection process.

Strong instructional design capability across modalities (instructor-led, virtual, e-learning), with working knowledge of authoring tools and LMS platforms, grounded in adult learning principles and program measurement practices.
