Learning and Development Team Lead

This role is for an L&D Lead who treats learning as a business tool, not an end in itself.

You focus on developing people and teams through the lens of business priorities, impact, and outcomes. You are comfortable working with ambiguity and complex challenges, and you consistently ask the most important question: “What problem does this solve for the business?” You avoid formal, low-impact initiatives and favor solutions that actually change behavior and performance.

You are well-versed in learning and development methodologies, with a clear emphasis on practical application over activity metrics. You can adapt your approach to different business models and levels of organizational maturity, designing focused, tailored interventions rather than broad, generic programs. You remain effective in fast-moving environments and keep a strong focus on results.

If this resonates with you, this role may be the right next step for you.
