• Support and coach subject matter experts to enhance their training delivery skills, enabling them to effectively train others within their teams.
• Track and measure training effectiveness using frameworks like Kirkpatrick, analysing proficiency and engagement to continuously improve learning outcomes.
• Ensure ongoing learning support by developing sustainment strategies, including refresher sessions, knowledge-sharing communities, and digital learning resources.
• Collaborate with key stakeholders including Global and Local Process Owners, HR leaders, and project teams to align training efforts with business priorities.
• Ability to travel to various UK and European sites from time-to-time. 

What you’ll bring:

• Substantial experience in Learning & Development, particularly within large-scale system implementation projects.
• Instructional design skills, with the ability to create engaging training materials using tools like uPerform or Articulate.
• Knowledge of adult learning principles and experience in developing blended learning solutions, including e-learning, virtual, and in-person training.
• Ability to assess training needs and translate them into structured learning plans that align with business goals.
• Experience in measuring training effectiveness, using frameworks like Kirkpatrick to track knowledge retention and application.
• Proficient stakeholder management skills, with the ability to engage and influence leaders, subject matter experts, and end-users.
• Skilled coaching and facilitation abilities, with experience in supporting and upskilling subject matter experts to deliver effective training.
• Familiarity with Learning Management Systems (LMS) and the ability to manage training records, reporting, and curriculum updates.
• Readiness for change and problem-solving mindset, with the ability to work in a rapidly evolving, multi-country project environment.
