Careful planning and project management are necessary, as are a critical-thinking and commercial mindset, and an understanding of regulatory requirements. Effective L&D needs consideration of the latest innovation, tools and technology to support development of leading personal and professional development that is tailored, relevant and timely for our people. We have an exciting opportunity for an Experienced Manager / Senior Manager or equivalent to join our Learning Development team. The role would suit a talented, high performing and ambitious individual who is keen not only to support delivery on our current curriculum and wider L&D initiatives but also to help shape the L&D strategy of the future during an exciting growth phase for the team. This role reports to the Development and Monitoring Lead (DAM). The Learning Development team is a team of learning designers, responsible for designing and curating or creating the Audit programme content which is available for the business. The aim is to develop the most impactful, innovative solutions to meet learner needs and deliver clear business outcomes. Within the team, there are a number of technical and non-technical specialists who are responsible for the main authoring activities within the team. Lead authors work with the Business Partnering team and Audit Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) to understanding the business objectives for a particular learning need and then translate those into key learning objectives and design learning interventions that meet these needs effectively.
