Responsibilities

Identify emerging workforce capability needs and translate them into practical development solutions that help the organization prepare for future business challenges, evolving roles, and changing market demands.
Lead enterprise-wide development initiatives that support organizational priorities, workforce capability needs, leadership effectiveness, and employee growth. Coordinate efforts across Learning & Development and cross-functional partners to align around a common enterprise approach.
Continuously scan internal and external trends, identify opportunities for innovation, and champion new approaches that improve development effectiveness, increase adoption, and strengthen organizational capability.

Operate with a "roll up your sleeves" mindset while helping establish the future direction of enterprise development.
Develop content for virtual, in-person, and digital experiences, including learning resources, implementation materials, communications, and performance support tools. Apply adult learning principles and consult with subject matter experts and stakeholders to address capability needs.
Ensure development experiences are relevant, effective, aligned with business priorities, and grounded in clear measures of success. Evaluate outcomes and continuously improve solutions based on feedback and performance data.
Lead project plans and execution activities from design through evaluation. Coordinate resources, suppliers, communications, timelines, and implementation activities to achieve expected outcomes and maintain quality standards.
Prepare and deliver clear, concise, and influential communications, updates, recommendations, and presentations for stakeholders and leadership audiences. Communicate project status, outcomes, and strategic recommendations effectively across all levels of the organization.
Manage external learning providers, facilitators, content partners, and consultants. Oversee contracts, statements of work, budgets, invoices, and performance to ensure quality delivery and strong return on investment.
