Executive Manager, Learning & Leadership Development

We’re partnering with a fast-moving organisation that’s reshaping how it builds capability – particularly as AI begins to influence the way leaders operate, make decisions and engage with clients. They need a Learning & Leadership lead who can lift the function, steady the team and bring clarity to what “future capability” actually looks like.

The Opportunity
This role sits at the centre of a leadership and capability agenda that’s evolving quickly. You’ll step in as the person who can hold both the strategic line and the operational detail, while managing a small team.

Key Focus Areas

• Partner with leaders and work closely with technical functions to clarify the skills required for future work and translate these into practical development pathways.
• Strengthen program design and delivery using modern tools and approaches (AI where it adds value), ensuring learning is relevant, efficient and grounded in real business needs.
• Own day-to-day L&D delivery so strategic work isn’t sidelined by operational demand.

About you

• Strong instructional design capability with a track record in leadership and capability development.
• Experience leading a small team with clarity and consistency.
• Comfortable working with technical partners and translating complexity into clear skill requirements.
• Practical experience using AI or contemporary tools in a business context.
• Direct, thoughtful communicator with sound judgement and credibility.

If you’re looking for a role with influence, variety and room to build, we’d love to hear from you.
