We’re searching for a Training & Development Operations Specialist (LMS Admin). We are seeking a high-agency, systems-thinking training operations Specialist to serve as the architect and primary administrator of our learning ecosystem. This is a high-impact role designed for someone who thrives in the technical details of learning systems but understands the "why" behind talent development. You will be the "glue" between our Training and Talent Development strategy and the tech stack that delivers it. As our Workday LEARN expert, you won't just maintain a system; you will ensure it is a force multiplier for our workforce. You will also act as a data storyteller, translating complex learning metrics into clear narratives for leadership.

Requirements

Proven Workday LEARN Expertise: A minimum of 3 years of direct experience administrating the Workday LEARN product. This is a non-negotiable requirement for this role.
Analytical Rigor: Proven ability to synthesize complex data into clear narratives. Experience with dashboarding tools (Mode, Holistics, Crunchr) or the ability to learn them quickly is highly preferred.
High Agency & Accountability: You are a "driver," not a passenger. You track, prioritize, and drive projects without needing to be reminded.
Communication Range: You can discuss system architecture with IT and strategy with senior People leaders with equal ease.
Continuous Improvement Mindset: You are always thinking of ways to improve system efficiency while simultaneously delivering on current programs.
Agility & Urgency: You thrive in a high-growth environment and deliver with a bias for action. You can pivot quickly as business needs evolve and possess the resilience to push projects across the finish line on tight timelines without sacrificing quality.

Responsibilities

Master the LMS Ecosystem: Serve as the primary administrator for Workday LEARN, managing all backend configurations, course deployments, and system optimizations.
Drive Data Fluency: Go beyond standard reports to build insightful dashboards in tools like Mode, Holistics, or Crunchr, ensuring our decisions are informed by rigorous data.
Manage the Tech Stack: Oversee the general Talent Development technical suite, ensuring seamless integrations and a frictionless user experience for all Aurorans.
Navigate Ambiguity: Take loose learning concepts or business problems and translate them into structured technical charters and executed realities.
Force Multiply: Remove blockers for the team by streamlining administrative processes and ensuring our learning systems work for us, not against us.
Master Change Management: Design adoption strategies to ensure our distributed workforce understands and embraces new learning tools and updates.
