Job description

Are you someone who loves building the systems that help people grow — and is just as comfortable coordinating a training session as you are supporting a candidate through an interview process?

About the role

At Spotlight, it’s our mission to craft and sustain a successful Influence Orchestration program for our clients, and to continually develop the people who deliver it. The Learning & Development Program Coordinator plays a key role in making that happen: supporting the onboarding of every new Spotlighter, keeping the systems and materials that power our L&D program running smoothly, and serving as a trusted resource who guides employees to the right development opportunities.

This is a hybrid role — approximately 75% L&D and 25% recruiting — with the flexibility to shift that balance as team needs evolve. One week you may be leading a new-hire tech and tools session; the next you’re co-owning sourcing for an entry-level search or representing Spotlight at a campus career fair. You thrive because you’re organized, warm, proactive, and genuinely energized by both sides of the work.

Those effective in this role…

• Own the logistics of every new hire’s first days — coordinating equipment, setup, scheduling, shadow assignments, and review sessions — and lead tactical onboarding sessions including office tours and tech and tools walkthroughs.

• Set up new hires in the Learning Management System, build and assign learning paths, manage compliance assignments, and keep the Knowledge Management System current with up-to-date job aids, recordings, and training materials.

• Support the day-to-day logistics of continuous development programming — scheduling sessions, ordering meals, assembling materials — and contribute to a growing range of L&D and Talent Acquisition initiatives.

• Partner with the Talent Acquisition Specialist to co-own hiring for internship and entry-level roles from sourcing through offer, assist with scheduling across all levels, coordinate and attend career fairs and recruiting events, and conduct candidate tours at both Spotlight locations.

• Apply Claude and AI-powered tools to streamline coordination workflows, automate repetitive tasks, and free up time for higher-value work across both L&D and recruiting.

Desired Skills and Experience

Experience: 0-2 years in HR, Recruiting, Learning & Development, or related background. What matters most is that you’re organized, warm, and energized by helping people and systems run well. An interest in instructional design is a plus.

Organization and coordination. You manage multiple workstreams, stakeholders, and deadlines without dropping anything. You’re proactive about what’s coming, detail-oriented in how you execute, and calm when priorities shift.

Adaptability. You’re comfortable moving between L&D and recruiting work depending on where the team needs you most. You don’t see the dual nature of this role as a complication — you see it as variety, and you bring the same care to both sides.

People warmth. You make new hires feel welcomed, candidates feel respected, and colleagues feel supported. You have high emotional intelligence, strong interpersonal skills, and the ability to work effectively with a wide range of people and audiences.

Tech and AI fluency. You’re comfortable working in LMS and KMS platforms and pick up new tools quickly. You have the ability to integrate Claude and other AI tools into your workflows, using them to reduce administrative friction and create more space for the work that matters.
