Learning & Development Program Coordinator

PEAK6•Chicago, IL

2d•$99,440 - $124,300•Hybrid

About The Position

PEAK6 is a diversified holding company that builds, invests in, and operates businesses across financial services, technology, insurance, and consumer brands. The PEAK6 Shared Services Organization provides centralized People, Finance, Legal, and Technology support across this portfolio of companies. The Learning & Development Program Coordinator owns the design, delivery, and continuous improvement of PEAK6's enterprise-wide learning ecosystem across PEAK6 and its subsidiary companies. The main focus of this role will be standing up a firm-wide management training program, and rather than building all of it in-house, this role sources, vets, and manages a network of external vendors and firms (facilitators, training providers, content vendors, and coaching and assessment firms) that help execute our learning programs, and then runs the day-to-day operation that keeps those programs on track: scheduling, communications, follow-up, tracking and reporting. This role may also jump into some initiatives like high potential programs and firm-wide manager 360’s. The ideal candidate is an organized, relationship-driven program coordinator who can find the right partners, hold them accountable, and keep multiple programs moving – all while partnering closely with HR Business Partners, people leaders, and stakeholders across the PEAK6 family of companies.

Serve as the primary administrator of Workday Learning, including course catalog maintenance, assignment rules, content uploads, and reporting.
