JPMorgan Chase; Plano (TX); On-site; USD 180,000 - 240,000; Full time

Job summary

JPMorgan Chase is seeking a Program Director - Learning & Enablement to lead enterprise software engineering learning initiatives for a workforce of over 65,000 technologists. You will shape scalable learning strategies, governance, and content across the enterprise to advance engineering excellence and AI fluency.

You will architect modular learning experiences, guide internal conferences and workshops, and drive data-driven measurement to show impact on productivity and capability growth.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated experience designing and scaling learning, engineering enablement, or developer experience initiatives for large technical populations.
• Strong understanding of modern software engineering patterns and practices across the product and software development lifecycle, including agile and product-oriented delivery.
• Model and advocate AI-enabled ways of working by leveraging modern developer tooling, AI coding assistants, and data-driven practices to improve capability development, productivity, and learning effectiveness across the ecosystem.
• Hands-on proficiency with AI coding assistants and code-generation tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, Claude), with the ability to translate that fluency into teachable skills and sound engineering judgment.
• Experience building data-driven measurement frameworks that connect learning or enablement activity to behavioral or performance outcomes.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to produce executive-level strategy documents and presentations.
• Working proficiency in Python for data analysis.
• Familiarity with agentic/AI-native developer tooling and workflows (e.g., CLI-based AI coding agents, Model Context Protocol integrations).

Responsibilities

• Serve as the firm's subject matter expert for software engineering learning and enablement, providing strategic guidance and thought leadership that shapes how technologists develop engineering capabilities, AI fluency, and modern software engineering practices across the enterprise.
• Architect and shape the firm's software engineering learning and enablement strategy, influencing capability-building priorities across Lines of Business, Tech Centers, and engineering domains to advance engineering excellence, developer experience, and responsible AI adoption.
• Establish the learning architecture, standards, and frameworks for modular, source-controlled learning experiences centered on the cognitive skills engineers need to adopt AI tools effectively, distributed via a pull-and-push model so Lines of Business and Tech Centers can consume content on demand.
• Build learning content into firmwide development programs, including internal conferences, technical workshops, early career education, and internships, ensuring consistent development of engineering fundamentals, modern delivery practices, and AI fluency across experience levels.
• Serve as a leader for the firm's software engineering and AI learning communities, cultivating peer-to-peer capability building, influencing standards and practices, and accelerating adoption of modern engineering approaches at scale.
• Define firmwide measurement standards that connect learning and enablement investments to engineering telemetry, developer experience, adoption of engineering practices, productivity outcomes, and organizational capability growth, providing actionable insights for senior leadership.
• Establish governance frameworks and guardrails that promote responsible adoption of AI-enabled engineering practices while maintaining alignment with firm risk, control, security, and compliance expectations.
• Direct platform and vendor governance across all learning applications and tooling in scope
