Job description

WHO WE ARE

We are PEAK6, a leading investment firm, using technology to find a better way of doing things. The company’s first tech-based solution was developed in 1997 to optimize options trading, and over the past two decades, the same formula has been used across a range of industries, asset classes, and business stages to consistently deliver superior results. Today, PEAK6 seeks transformational opportunities to provide capital and strategic support to entrepreneurs and forward-thinking businesses. PEAK6’s core brands include PEAK6 Capital Management, PEAK6 Strategic Capital, Apex Fintech Solutions, FOCUS, We Insure, Evil Geniuses, Poker Power, Zogo, and Bruce Markets.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

PEAK6 is a diversified holding company that builds, invests in, and operates businesses across financial services, technology, insurance, and consumer brands – including companies such as Apex Fintech Solutions, Bruce Markets, Capital Management, Evil Geniuses, FOCUS, Poker Power, Strategic Capital, We Insure, and Zogo. The PEAK6 Shared Services Organization provides centralized People, Finance, Legal, and Technology support across this portfolio of companies.

Position Summary

The Learning & Development Program Coordinator owns the design, delivery, and continuous improvement of PEAK6's enterprise-wide learning ecosystem across PEAK6 and its subsidiary companies. The main focus of this role will be standing up a firm-wide management training program, and rather than building all of it in-house, this role sources, vets, and manages a network of external vendors and firms (facilitators, training providers, content vendors, and coaching and assessment firms) that help execute our learning programs, and then runs the day-to-day operation that keeps those programs on track: scheduling, communications, follow-up, tracking and reporting. This role may also jump into some initiatives like high potential programs and firm-wide manager 360’s. The ideal candidate is an organized, relationship-driven program coordinator who can find the right partners, hold them accountable, and keep multiple programs moving – all while partnering closely with HR Business Partners, people leaders, and stakeholders across the PEAK6 family of companies.

Key Responsibilities

1. Program Coordination & Execution

• Coordinate the end-to-end delivery of manager learning programs (e.g., leadership development, onboarding, skills training, compliance training) that address needs identified in partnership with HR and business leaders.
• Own the program calendar: schedule sessions, cohorts, facilitators, and participants; send invitations, reminders, and pre- and post-work; and manage rooms, virtual platforms, and logistics across locations.
• Follow up consistently with partners, participants, and managers to keep programs on schedule, resolve open items, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
• Develop and maintain a company-wide learning calendar and curriculum roadmap spanning PEAK6 and its subsidiary companies.
• Track participation, collect participant feedback, and report on completion rates and program effectiveness; work with partners to improve content based on results.

2. Partner & Vendor Sourcing, Vetting, and Management

• Identify, research, and vet external training firms, facilitators, coaches, assessment providers, and content providers that fit PEAK6's needs and culture.
• Run the selection process: gather proposals, compare options, check references, and make recommendations to HR leadership.
• Manage multiple partner relationships at once, including onboarding, scope and deliverable alignment, contract and budget oversight, invoicing coordination, and ongoing performance reviews.
• Serve as the main point of contact between partners and internal stakeholders, making sure partners are briefed, prepared, and aligned with each program's goals.
• Maintain a vetted partner roster with notes on capabilities, pricing, past performance, and availability.

3. Workday Learning

• Serve as the primary administrator of Workday Learning, including course catalog maintenance, assignment rules, content uploads, and reporting.
• Maintain learning paths, required and compliance trainings, and certifications within Workday.
• Generate and distribute learning completion and compliance reports to HR and business leaders across the portfolio.

4. Build Additional Talent Programs (as needed)

• Over time, may help design and launch additional programs such as High Potential (HiPo) and Manager 360, working with partners and HR leadership as appropriate.

Additional & Cross-Functional Responsibilities

• Partner with HR Business Partners and business leaders across PEAK6 and its subsidiaries to identify learning and talent development needs.
• Contribute to broader talent management initiatives (succession planning, performance management, engagement) where they intersect with L&D.
• Build and maintain scalable, repeatable processes, checklists, and documentation for all programs and partner relationships.

Qualifications

Education & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Organizational Development, Business, or a related field (or equivalent experience) (Master's degree preferred)
• 3+ years of experience in learning & development, talent development, program coordination, or organizational development.
• Experience sourcing, vetting, and managing external vendors or consulting partners, including contracts and budgets.
• Hands‑on experience administering a learning management system (Workday Learning strongly preferred).
• Experience coordinating or supporting 360‑feedback, manager development, or high‑potential programs is a plus.
• Experience supporting multiple business units or a multi‑entity/holding company structure is a plus.

OUR REWARDS

We offer a robust package of employee perks and benefits, including healthcare benefits (medical, dental and vision, EAP), competitive PTO, 401k match, parental leave, and HSA contribution match. We also provide our employees with a paid subscription to the Calm app and offer generous external learning and tuition reimbursement benefits.
