The Opportunity

We are transforming how DaVita builds workforce capability, aligning our approach with personalized development strategies and the future of learning. We are moving beyond traditional training to build a Performance &Capability Design function that solves business problems through strategic learning consulting and high-level learning solution design, while maintaining a holistic view of the tools, processes, and environment.

We are seeking a Program Manager, Performance & Capability Design to support this transformation. This is a strategic learning consulting and project leadership role.

• Execute the Personalized Learning Strategy: Shift the organization toward the future of learning by managing enablement initiatives that focus on personalized, impactful development aligned with DaVita’s highest-priority business goals.
• Drive Learning & Business Results: Track and report on impact metrics (clinical and business performance outcomes, pipeline readiness, and retention) while evaluating the effectiveness of modern learning interventions.
• Consult & Design: Partner with stakeholders to diagnose performance gaps and design high-level learning solutions, maintaining an awareness of how process, technology, or environment impact the learner experience.

High-Level Solution Design

• Learning Architecture: Lead the high-level design of blended learning solutions. Architect programs that leverage the future of learning (e.g., personalized pathways, microlearning, learning in the flow of work) while considering workflow support and technology adoption.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: Partner with instructional designers, technologists, and SMEs to translate high-level learning designs into effective, scalable development programs.

Project Management & Execution

• Project Leadership: Manage large-scale, medium- to high-complexity learning consulting projects from inception to implementation. Align business and delivery lanes to implement solutions that drive behavioral change.
• Change Management: Support change management required to shift stakeholder expectations from "requesting traditional training" to "partnering on personalized learning and performance."

• 3-5+ years of progressive experience in Learning Consulting, Learning Design, Organizational Effectiveness, or related field.
• Experience with Human Performance Technology (HPT) or similar methodologies.
