About the role

You will design the end-to-end learning experience behind our flagship Fellowship as it scales across new regions and cohorts as the Learning and Development Manager. Working closely with the Fellowship team, reporting into our Head of Talent Development, you will shape everything from core curriculum and mentor tools to building our train-the-trainer model and secondment pipeline. You will lead the transition to modular, scalable learning architecture, track high-impact outcomes, and take on emerging capability projects. This is an exciting opportunity to build sustainable, high-impact learning systems that directly empower top talent and drive Faculty’s growth.

What you'll be doing:

- Designing and evolving the Fellowship learning experience, refining the 8-week structure through data, feedback, and iterative pacing changes

- Partnering directly with SMEs, facilitators, and ops coordinators to translate performance gaps into targeted learning pathways

- Establishing train-the-trainer curricula and delivery calibration standards to ensure consistent, high-quality facilitation across all cohorts

- Collaborate with Ops, BU Leads and People partners to ensure smooth secondments of staff to deliver fellowship program and minimise disruption to delivery teams

- Creating continuous improvement loops and reporting rhythms to evaluate fellow progression, mentor impact, and overall programme quality

- Scoping and delivering broader, non-Fellowship capability projects as strategic priorities emerge across the business

Who we're looking for:

- You bring proven experience designing, piloting, and scaling structured learning programmes for technical or early-career talent in fast-growth environments.

- You understand global learning dynamics, including how cultural nuances impact facilitators, mentors, and learners across international markets.

- You possess modern instructional design skills, with hands-on experience leveraging AI-assisted authoring tools or LXP creator platforms.

- You have a track record of building train-the-trainer models and setting robust delivery standards that maintain quality across multiple locations.

- You are experienced in secondment or mobility design, successfully navigating backfill strategies, incentive structures, and stakeholder buy-in.

- You thrive in ambiguous environments, comfortably managing cross-functional relationships, analyzing feedback loops, and taking ownership of emerging priorities.

A note on AI: we're happy for you to use it for research and interview prep, but please don't use it to generate answers during live interviews. We also use an AI note-taker (Metaview) in interviews so interviewers can stay present (which you can opt out of just let us know,) and every application is reviewed by a human, never decided by AI.
