Role Summary

The Lead Learning and Talent Development Associate is a strategic enablement partner and key liaison between the L&TD function and core corporate groups, including HR, Finance, and IT. Equal parts consultant and program owner, this role is responsible for cutting through the noise to determine what a business problem actually calls for—and building scalable programs when learning is the right answer. That includes enterprise-wide new hire onboarding, functional training programs, compliance training governance, and learning integration across newly acquired companies.

Strategic Consulting & Needs Analysis

Serve as a trusted L&D advisor, collaborating closely with business leaders and corporate program stakeholders to design and execute learning strategies that align with and advance their organizational objectives.
Translate ambiguous business problems into clear diagnostic frameworks, learning objectives, or alternative performance support solutions, advising stakeholders on what will and will not move the needle.
Serve as a thought partner and strategic sounding board for program leaders, bringing an outside-in perspective on best practices in adult learning, performance consulting, and enterprise enablement.

Functional Training Programs

Consult with functional leaders to conduct needs assessments, define learning objectives, and translate business priorities into structured curriculum and learning pathways—only where a learning intervention is the right fit.
Lead the design and build-out of functional training programs addressing capability gaps across corporate populations, including role-specific skills, systems proficiency, and process knowledge.
Use data-driven insights, program KPIs, completion rates, assessment outcomes, and business impact metrics, to evaluate effectiveness and drive continuous improvement.

Enterprise New Hire Onboarding

Partner with HR, business leaders, and functional stakeholders to ensure onboarding content reflects current business priorities, role-specific requirements, and company values.
Continuously improve enterprise-wide new hire onboarding programs that accelerate time-to-productivity and establish a consistent cultural and operational foundation across the organization.

Enterprise Compliance Training

Partner with Legal, HR, and Compliance teams to identify evolving compliance requirements and develop or update training content accordingly.
Own the enterprise compliance training calendar, ensuring all mandatory training obligations are met on time and in alignment with legal, regulatory, and policy requirements.
Monitor completion rates and audit readiness across all compliance programs; report to senior stakeholders and lead remediation strategies where gaps exist.

What You'll Bring

7–10+ years of progressive experience in learning and talent development, including instructional design, facilitation, adult learning theory, needs analysis, and enterprise curriculum management. Prior leadership experience preferred.
Demonstrated experience as an L&D consultant or strategic partner—skilled at conducting root cause analysis, framing performance problems, and recommending solutions that go beyond training when appropriate.
Proven ownership of enterprise-wide programs—new hire onboarding, compliance training, or functional learning—in large, complex, or matrixed organizations.
Experience supporting M&A learning integration or workforce transition programs is preferred; comfort operating in fast-moving, ambiguous environments is essential.
Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple concurrent programs across diverse stakeholder groups and organizational levels.
Exceptional cross-functional collaboration and stakeholder management skills; proven ability to build trust, push back constructively, and drive alignment without direct authority.
Proficiency with Learning Management Systems (e.g., Cornerstone, Oracle) and comfort using program data and completion metrics to inform strategy and reporting.
Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to present recommendations clearly to senior leaders and influence decisions through sound analysis
