  • Support compliance training programs through Workday Learning in collaboration with HR, Legal, and Communications teams.
  • Help build learning paths and training portfolios to support employee development and career progression.
  • Manage continuing professional education resources for employees with professional certifications.
  • Mentor, coach, and provide guidance to junior L&D team members.
  • Bring creative ideas and thought leadership to the organization's overall learning and development strategy.

Qualifications:

  • 10+ years of experience in Learning & Development, e-learning, organizational development, instructional design, or a related field.
  • Experience designing and delivering instructor-led training programs.
  • Professional services or consulting industry experience strongly preferred.
  • Experience with Workday Learning required.
  • Strong proficiency in Microsoft Office, including PowerPoint, Word, Excel, Outlook, and Teams.
  • Excellent verbal, written, presentation, and facilitation skills.
  • Strong ability to analyze training data and feedback and translate findings into actionable recommendations.
  • Demonstrated ability to independently manage projects and take initiative without extensive direction.
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills.
  • Experience collaborating with senior leaders, internal stakeholders, and subject matter experts.
  • Experience supporting change management or organizational development initiatives.
  • Previous mentorship, coaching, or leadership experience within an L&D environment strongly preferred.
  • Mature and collaborative approach with the ability to serve as a trusted mentor to junior team members.
