Learning and Development Partner

Aderant•Atlanta, GA

About The Position

Aderant is a global industry leading software company providing comprehensive business management solutions for law firms and other professional services organizations with a mission to help them run a better business. We are motivated by a collective desire to drive the legal industry to the forefront of innovation. With over 2,500 clients around the world, including 95 of the top AmLaw 100 firms, we are changing the outside perception of the legal sphere; where there was once resistance to modernization, we are creating a culture that embraces new ideas and technology. At Aderant, the “A” is more than just a letter. It is a representation of how we fulfill our foundational purpose, serving our clients. It embodies our core values and reminds us that to achieve success, every day must start with the “A”. We bring the “A” to life by fostering a culture of innovation, collaboration, and personal growth. We encourage our diverse teams to bring their whole selves to work – ideas, experience, and passion – to drive our mission forward. Our people are our strength. The Learning & Development Partner sits within Aderant’s People Team. This role is responsible for consulting with leaders and teams to identify capability and performance needs, then designing and delivering learning solutions that measurably improve performance. This is a hands-on role for someone who owns work end-to-end: from intake and needs assessment, through learning design and build, through launch, facilitation, measurement, and iteration. You will collaborate across the business, often with limited structure and plenty of ambiguity, and translate ambiguous or evolving business needs into practical, scalable learning experiences. This role requires strong independent thinking, high standards for quality, and comfort navigating multiple rounds of stakeholder feedback, alignment, and revision without losing momentum or quality. Generative AI is expected to be used as a productivity and synthesis tool, not a substitute for judgment, accuracy, or craft.

Proficiency with PowerPoint or similar presentation tools.
Strong time management and prioritization skills, with the ability to manage multiple initiatives simultaneously in a fast-changing environment.
Experience using generative AI tools in a professional context, with the ability to validate outputs and improve quality rather than accept first drafts.
Comfort operating in fast-changing environments where priorities shift and not all inputs are known upfront.
