Job Description

We’re on the lookout for a dynamic L&D pro who’s as comfortable designing strategy as they are rolling up their sleeves and delivering hands-on learning. If you love empowering people, driving change, and making a real impact, this is your moment.

What you’ll do:

  • Be a strategic partner to senior leaders, shaping and delivering high-impact learning and development strategies that drive growth and performance.
  • Collaborate with People Partners and business leaders to align learning plans with workforce planning and change programmes.
  • Embed a coaching culture, upskilling managers and leaders through workshops, toolkits, and live coaching.
  • Design and facilitate engaging learning experiences for everyone—from execs to frontline teams.
  • Lead leadership and management development programmes, ensuring they support our transformation and Centre of Excellence frameworks.
  • Deliver organisational development interventions, team effectiveness diagnostics, and cultural alignment projects.
  • Support talent reviews, succession planning, and development of future leaders.
  • Use data to evaluate impact and focus L&D efforts where they matter most.
  • Champion our values, behavioural frameworks, and leadership principles to build a consistent, high-performing culture.

Qualifications

  • Proven success in strategic and operational L&D, ideally in complex, multi-site environments.
  • Expertise in adult learning theory, blended design, and delivery.
  • Strong project management and data-driven decision-making skills.
  • Exceptional stakeholder engagement and influencing abilities.
  • Commercial awareness—aligning learning to business outcomes.
  • Digital learning tool proficiency (LMS, Articulate, etc.).
  • Background in hospitality, retail, leisure, or frontline environments is a plus.
  • CIPD Level 5+ in L&D (or equivalent) and a commitment to continuous development are desirable.
  • Insights accreditation is a bonus!
