- Lead end-to-end execution of multi-regional training calendars, facilitating energising virtual and in-person sessions and running Train-the-Trainer programmes for regional trainers.

- Hands-on experience using AI-based authoring tools and LXPs, plus strong skills in Google Suite.
- A track record of driving measurable learning impact, using assessments, data and dashboards to continuously improve programmes
- Resilience under pressure, comfort with tight timelines, and the ability to juggle competing priorities while maintaining high standards.
