Your Role

Recognizing that most learning comes through active engagement in on-the-job experiences, proactive independent learning, and relationships, Thornton Tomasetti’s Learning and Organizational Development (L+OD) group focuses on shortening learning curves and helping to create common frameworks across the organization related to four major skillsets: Technical, Management, Winning Work, and Leadership. We often provide resources, structure, additional scaffolding, logistical coordination, and other support to empower TT staff to teach/coach/mentor and learn-from one another. In our work, we emphasize curiosity, collaboration, and continuous improvement in the efficiency, effectiveness, and scalability of our programs through innovation.

• Manage content in the firm-wide Workday learning management system, including: troubleshoot employee inquiries regarding system functionality, usage, and application; upload and remove courses; vendor management; track employee training completion data; track instructor-led training, and manage campaigns.
• Support participant groups within career-development coaching programs.
• Complete other tasks as assigned.

What You'll Bring

Degree (master’s preferred) in education or a related field.

• 2+ years of experience in learning and development or a related field.

• Strong organization and time management skills, attention to detail, and ability to make decisions independently.
• Proficient in data management/analysis and with Microsoft productivity applications.
• Experience in a professional services firm and/or administering learning management systems preferred.
