• Strong communication, consulting, stakeholder-management and project-management skills.
• Experience in a large, complex, global organisation or shared-services environment will be an advantage.

Preferred Skills:

• Exposure to LMS, LXP and digital-learning platforms.
• Knowledge of ADDIE, Design Thinking or Agile learning design.
• Experience in leadership development, enterprise capability building or functional academies.
• Familiarity with Kirkpatrick or other learning-evaluation frameworks.
• Ability to interpret learning data and create management presentations, dashboards and recommendations.
