The Role

The Senior Manager, Learning & Inclusion leads our Learning & Development and DEIB learning portfolio, from manager development and instructional design to DEI learning and employee listening.

We're looking for a seasoned L&D leader, ideally with experience running a full L&D function, who brings real depth in instructional design and curriculum development, and who can personally take programs from concept to a finished, polished product. You're also an experienced people leader who develops team members and grows individual contributors into stronger, more capable professionals - while staying hands-on with content and delivery when the work calls for it. You'll partner closely with the Senior Director of Talent to shape and evolve our learning and inclusion strategy together.

DEIB Programming & Inclusion

• Own delivery of annual DEI learning sessions and cultural training for international audiences
• Partner with the Senior Director of Talent to shape and execute DEIB strategy, embedding it throughout the learning and development lifecycle
• Champion inclusive design as a core principle across all learning initiatives, not an isolated program

ERG Communities & Employee Listening

• Own strategic relationships with ERG leaders, providing consistent resources and support
• Design and facilitate employee listening sessions; partner with the Senior Director of Talent on survey design and co-own action-planning from resulting themes and data

Team Leadership

• Manage a large, fast-moving portfolio of concurrent deliverables with sound prioritization under tight timelines
• Develop the L&D team by providing direction, quality oversight, and growth opportunities for ICs
• Partner with the Senior Director of Talent to shape learning methodology and strategy

Desired Skills & Experience

• 8+ years in L&D leadership, ideally having run a full, end-to-end Learning & Development function
• Hands-on instructional design expertise: skilled at taking programs from concept to finished, polished content, decks, and curricula
• Experienced people manager passionate about mentoring and developing team members into senior roles
• Deep experience owning DEIB programming and fostering Employee Resource Groups (ERGs) and employee communities
• Embedded inclusive design philosophy - treats inclusion as a core design principle across all initiatives
• High action orientation, comfortable driving fast-paced, reliable execution in partnership with strategic leadership
• Exceptional facilitation and presentation skills, with credibility to engage audiences up to executive leadership
