The role
Do you want to shape how hundreds of people learn, grow, and do their best work? As our Learning Specialist, you won't just build training, you'll own the strategy behind it: designing, governing, and optimizing the learning ecosystem across multiple functions, solving real business problems, and designing learning that scales across teams and countries.
This is a role for someone who loves both the creative side of learning and the rigor of getting things done. You'll independently lead complex learning programs from idea to launch, design scalable solutions to problems where the answer isn't obvious yet, and partner with senior leaders to turn business priorities into learning that actually moves the needle. You'll set the "what" and the "how" that our Learning Coordinators bring to life, and you'll raise the bar on our methodology and standards along the way.
If you're energized by continuous improvement, comfortable managing multiple projects at once, and motivated by seeing measurable capability lift across an organization, you'll thrive here. You'll join a team that cares deeply about the learner experience, champions innovation, and gives you the autonomy to make a real, lasting impact.
Beyond the day-to-day, there's plenty of room to stretch. You might pilot how AI can transform the way we design and deliver learning, represent the team in cross-European initiatives, take the lead on org-wide programs, or mentor and shape the next generation of learning talent. If you bring the curiosity and the drive, this role will keep giving you bigger problems to solve.
What you'll do
Key job responsibilities
Learning Design & Program Management
- Own the full ADDIE lifecycle for assigned functions, designing solutions that scale across multiple teams and delivering high-quality training content.
- Apply expertise in adult learning theories and instructional design to solve complex learning problems where the problem is understood but the solution is not.
- Design and implement innovative learning solutions across multiple modalities (digital, classroom, experiential, self-paced, blended).
- Plan, launch, and manage end-to-end learning programs, owning scope, timelines, milestones, risks, and deliverables from concept to rollout.
- Manage multiple concurrent projects and competing priorities, keeping stakeholders informed with clear status, ETAs, and success metrics.
- Provide support and mentoring to Learning Coordinators across ES and UK.
Project Management & Delivery
- Lead learning projects using structured project management practices (planning, RACI, dependency and risk management, stakeholder communication, and delivery tracking).
- Maintain project governance mechanisms (trackers, dashboards, and reporting cadences) to ensure visibility and on-time delivery.
- Anticipate blockers and dependencies, build contingency plans, and drive projects to closure with clear owners and deadlines.
Continuous Improvement
- Apply continuous improvement methodologies to raise the quality and efficiency of learning programs and processes.
- Establish feedback loops (surveys, focus groups, defect and performance data) to systematically identify opportunities and implement improvement actions.
- Use data to prioritize improvements, define success metrics, and measure impact, driving measurable gains in learner experience and business outcomes.
- Standardize and document processes (SOPs, templates, reusable frameworks) to ensure sustainability and scalability.
Standards Ownership
- Own and evolve training standards, ensuring consistent quality across the learning ecosystem.
- Create engaging content that drives participant retention and knowledge application.
- Embed instructional design best practices and quality controls (e.g. Bloom's Taxonomy, Kirkpatrick evaluation) as the baseline for quality audits.
Stakeholder Partnership
- Act as the strategic learning partner to function leaders, translating business priorities into learning roadmaps.
- Partner with org-level stakeholders to secure resources, scope efforts, set priorities, and drive delivery.
- Work with partners across Europe to ensure alignment with best practices, processes, and technology.
- Lead change management for new programs and process changes, ensuring smooth adoption across teams.
Data-Driven Governance
- Define learning metrics and conduct Training Needs Analysis to identify knowledge gaps.
- Develop evaluation methods to measure training effectiveness and present insights and recommendations to leadership.
- Monitor program performance against targets, report trends, and translate data into action.
A day in the life
No two days look the same on the EU E2E Learning team, Central Programs, and that's part of the fun. One moment you're digging into program metrics, spotting a dip in a function's training scores and designing a scalable new module to close the gap; the next you're partnering with a function leader to turn a business priority into a learning roadmap. You'll mentor Learning Coordinators across ES and UK to bring your programs to life, jump between multiple projects, and get ahead of risks before they become blockers. AI is part of how you work every day: you'll use it to design content faster, analyze feedback and performance data for insights, evaluate learning objectives against business needs, and pilot new formats like interactive simulations and audio guides that make learning stick. Along the way you'll apply continuous improvement thinking to make the team a little faster and better every quarter, and you'll turn data into a clear story of impact for leadership. Some days you'll be deep in creative design work, others you'll be influencing senior stakeholders or championing how AI can transform the way our whole team learns and delivers. If you love that mix of creative design, strategic influence, hands-on delivery, and relentless improvement, this is the kind of day you'll look forward to.
