• Build, implement and improve employee‑development processes and programs.
• Coordinate employee training enrollment, tuition assistance, development programs and required training.
• Manage LMS activities, learning paths, training records and follow‑up.
• Research and evaluate training resources, vendors and development opportunities.
• Track participation, progress and effectiveness to ensure development efforts are creating value.
• Promote awareness and engagement around employee growth and development opportunities.

Requirements

• Related degree and 4+ years of related experience in talent development, learning and development, or organizational development field.
• Experience with career development, employee development planning, competencies, succession planning or similar talent processes.
• Strong planning, organization, project‑management and follow‑through skills.
• Ability to independently build processes while also managing day‑to‑day execution.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills with employees, managers and leaders.
• Analytical, self‑directed and comfortable turning ideas into practical action.

You May Be a Great Fit If…

• You enjoy being both a planner and a doer.
• You want to help answer questions like “Where are our talent gaps?” and “How do we prepare employees for future opportunities?” and you’re equally willing to coordinate enrollment, track the plan, follow up with managers, and ensure the work gets completed.
