My client is seeking an experienced Specialist to join our Leadership Development team that creates learning experiences and other developmental interventions to support the leader growth journey of managers, directors, and senior leaders.
Role
• Co-shape our coaching offerings: You will review and refresh our coaching offerings that range from standard learning experiences (e.g. workshops) for managers to more customised interventions to meet the specific needs of agencies. The work also involves the relationship management of such agencies and our associate trainers, as well as project management to see through the smooth and timely implementation of the coaching programmes and interventions. Together with other colleagues in our Leadership Development team, you will also augment our coaching philosophy and collaborate on other aspects of our coaching work.
• Create self-paced learning experiences via virtual platforms: You will create a suite of self-paced learning objects and experiences, based on the leadership frameworks and content that we have developed internally over the years. You will also explore emerging learning technologies that push our imagination as to what we can offer our leaders and excite them to learn.
• Manage leadership milestone programmes and other leadership development workshops: At appropriate junctures in their leader journey, our leaders attend selected milestone programmes to learn and grow during such leadership transitions. You will manage at least one of such programmes, working with a range of stakeholders (e.g. decision makers, associates, vendors, and internal administration) to ensure their proper and timely implementation. You will shape the learning design of these programmes, evaluate learner’s satisfaction, and provide recommendations for improvement for each programme. In addition, as a project manager for other skills-based leadership development workshops, you will also need to manage the workshops’ budget and plan for regular runs. You will need to work with our associates on their deployment to deliver the workshops to quality and relevance. As you manage the various programmes and workshops, there will be opportunity for you to work with and learn from our Leadership Development Practice Lead to continually hone your craft.
Requirements:-
• Experience: About 5 years of relevant work experience in learning design and development with a strong interest in leadership and organisation development, and belief in the power of coaching. In addition, experience with designing and delivering digital learning experiences to positive impact for leaders will be an advantage.

• Knowledge and Expertise: Excellent project management skills and ability to manage and influence stakeholder and partner relationships to progress each project within budget and timelines, anticipating risks and problem solving along the way. Good design thinking and has an emerging point of view on leadership, leadership development and building coaching capabilities in leaders and organisations.
