Job summary

Samsung Semiconductor in San Jose is seeking a Learning & Development Manager to partner with senior leaders, diagnose capability gaps, and design customized learning solutions that drive measurable results.

You will lead diverse programs across Sales, Marketing, and Staff, develop a broad toolkit of learning experiences, and collaborate with SMEs and vendors to scale impact in a fast-moving environment.

Qualifications

• 10+ years in Learning & Development or business enablement, with a track record of building programs from the ground up.
• Strong instructional design expertise and adult learning principles.
• Experience consulting with and influencing senior leaders — translating ambiguous business needs into clear, creative solutions.

Responsibilities

• Serve as trusted advisor to senior leaders, executives, and HRBPs — leading intake conversations and getting to the root cause of capability gaps.
• Conduct needs assessments through interviews, data, and performance insights; recommend the right solution, whether training or not.
• Develop deep fluency in the workflows, roles, and business challenges of the teams you support.
• Design highly customized learning strategies that solve each team's specific business problems — not one-size-fits-all training.
• Build enablement programs end-to-end — product training curricula, sales kick-offs, negotiations and contract best practices, capability workshops and more — with a primary focus on Sales & Marketing and Staff organizations.
• Develop learning experiences across multiple modalities (workshops, e-learning, microlearning, toolkits, AI-enabled tools), grounded in adult learning principles.
• Build scalable toolkits, templates, and playbooks teams can use independently.
• Partner with SMEs, vendors, and speakers to source and deliver high-quality content.
• Facilitate workshops and learning experiences, virtually and in person, with strong executive presence.
• Communicate and promote programs and resources to drive awareness, adoption, and impact.
• Collaborate with the broader L&D team and adjacent Business Enablement tracks to keep solutions aligned and consistent.
