The position also offers year-end variable compensation alongside a comprehensive benefits package.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
This is an opportunity to join a highly regarded global investment platform and contribute to an L&D function focused on building highly customized, intellectually rigorous learning experiences rather than relying solely on off-the-shelf programming.
The role offers an interesting combination of L&D design, facilitation, stakeholder partnership and emerging technology, with particular scope to influence how AI and Generative AI are incorporated into learning across the organization.
It would particularly suit an L&D professional who enjoys being hands-on with content and program design, can operate credibly with demanding stakeholders and is excited by the opportunity to help shape the future of learning within a sophisticated financial-services environment.
