The Head of Learning and Development will continue to build a world-class, agile, learning & development function, by enhancing a core curriculum of commercial (sales), management & leadership, sustainability, DE&I, and member (we call our employees members) learning programs. Our aim is to enable DLL members at all levels do their jobs more effectively while they prepare for their next roles within the organization and beyond. The Head of Learning & Development will also identify key development challenges within the business and partner with the business and HR to deliver upon the holistic strategy and vision for the function and lead the global L&D team members for the ever-evolving roles and responsibilities they have.

Reporting to the Global Head of Talent, our Head of Learning & Development will lead L&D design, development, delivery, and evaluation efforts across DLL. You will leverage evidence-based techniques, models, tools, and resources that foster transfer of learning from classroom to workflow, allowing our members to unleash their potential. Leading a strong global team (of L&D professionals, geographically spread) that builds and delivers core programming, leveraging both synchronous and asynchronous platforms, you will be instrumental in supporting the achievement of our strategic goals. This is an exciting opportunity to be a part of a highly collaborative global HR team with an inspiring People Strategy in place as a key member of the Global Talent leadership team and an integral part of the extended HR Management Team. The ability to build strong and credible partnerships within HR and the business is critical to success as DLL prides itself on being a networked organisation.

Settling in

At DLL, we are many things. We are team members, family members, community member. We are members of society, members of different cultures and nationalities. Members of change. We each have different beliefs, different passions, different viewpoints, talents and interests. We come from different backgrounds, cultures, nationalities and histories.

But for all of our differences, we share one thing in common: each of us are members of DLL.

Our company was founded in the Netherlands. But today we are truly a multinational business. Our unique culture is rooted in higher collaboration, less hierarchy and an honest directness that enable us to integrate, ideate and innovate across country lines.

Many companies say they are European, American, Asian or Australian, at DLL we are all these places and more.

We are a cross-culture collaborative – an interconnected network – that comes together every single day with one goal in mind: Partnering for a better world.
