• Excellent communication skills with the ability to manage and build relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
• Commercial awareness and strategic thinking skills.
• Ability to promote a positive learning culture.
• Line management experience is advantageous.
• Experience in designing and delivering both face to face and online learning programmes from end to end.

• Knowledge and understanding at a strategic L&D level.

We look forward to hearing from you.
