About you

You’ll come from a hands on industrial, manufacturing, engineering or operational environment and be comfortable operating within a complex, fast moving business

Proven experience operating as a Learning & Development Manager within a commercially driven organisation

Resilient, credible and confident enough to challenge, influence and build trust across all levels of the organisation

Strong stakeholder management skills with the ability to operate effectively across both operational and leadership populations

Public sector and heavily corporate environments are unlikely to align with the realities of this workforce

If you’re an experienced Learning & Development Manager looking for a role where you can genuinely influence culture, capability and long term organisational growth, this could be the role for you.
