And a critical part of building that future is ensuring our people have the skills, tools, and mindset to grow alongside our innovation.

The Senior Learning & Development Manager plays a key role in making that happen by building organizational capability through a modern, scalable learning ecosystem that strengthens leadership, accelerates performance, and supports business growth. This role leads the strategy, design, and delivery of learning experiences that help employees develop the skills needed to succeed in a rapidly evolving environment.

Partnering with leaders and subject matter experts, you'll create engaging learning experiences—from microlearning and digital content to coaching, onboarding, and enterprise-wide development programs. You'll ensure learning is practical, scalable, and aligned to business priorities, compliance requirements, and evolving workforce needs.

A key focus of this role is helping the organization successfully adopt and leverage AI. You'll design learning pathways that build AI literacy, practical skills, and responsible use across all levels of the business. By embedding AI capability into leadership, manager, and functional development programs, you'll help teams improve productivity, drive innovation, and unlock measurable business value. You'll also equip customer-facing teams to confidently communicate the value of our AI-enabled products and services.
