What you'll do

As the Learning & Development Manager, you’ll drive LEAP’s learning strategy and build programs, processes and systems from the ground up. You’ll bring all learning activity together under one Learning Management System (LMS), lead company-wide initiatives such as leadership and professional skills training, and partner with teams to assess technical programs and external subscriptions that enable self-paced development. 

This role blends strategy with hands-on delivery. You’ll thrive on creating new solutions, facilitating key sessions, knowing when to bring in experts, and making a big impact with creative, cost-effective programs.

• Facilitate and coach – deliver workshops where appropriate and coach leaders to embed learning within their teams. 

• Own the LMS – manage and continuously improve a single platform to host, track and report on all learning content. 

• Measure impact – track participation, evaluate effectiveness and use data to demonstrate return on investment. 

• Manage the budget – plan and deliver programs creatively within financial parameters, finding smart ways to stretch resources further. 

What you'll bring

• Adult learning expertise – strong understanding of adult learning principles, instructional design and their application in program design and delivery. 

• Energy and passion for building – you’re excited by the chance to create new programs and systems from scratch, bring ideas to life, and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves to get it done. 

• End-to-end program management – experience creating and rolling out learning programs from concept to evaluation. 

• LMS know-how – practical experience managing a Learning Management System. 

• Facilitation skills – confident facilitator who can engage diverse audiences and adapt to different learning styles. 

• Business partnering ability – excellent relationship skills and the ability to work with leaders and stakeholders across regions to get the best outcomes. 

• Creative mindset – resourceful and innovative in delivering high-quality programs within budget. 

• Ideally certified in diagnostics such as Human Synergistics, The Leadership Circle, DiSC etc.
