Leadership Development Manager

We’re investing significantly in developing our leaders, and we are looking for a Leadership Development Manager with genuine depth in leadership development.
This isn’t a generalist L&D role, we’re seeking someone who specialises in leadership capability building and brings experience in designing, creating and delivering solutions that shift behaviour and accelerate growth.

This role suits someone who thrives in a fast paced environment is energised by the variety that comes with true end-to-end ownership. In our small, agile L&D team, you’ll be just as comfortable designing leadership programmes and facilitating executive level workshops as you are rolling up your sleeves to manage practical delivery tasks such as logistics, participant communications, room set-up or even lunch orders. We care about impact, and that means being hands-on from start to finish.

Reporting to the L&D Director, this individual contributor position offers span, autonomy and the opportunity to shape the leadership capability of a growing organisation. You’ll typically spend a couple of days each week in our Birmingham office to collaborate, co-create and deliver high impact experiences.

• Design and deliver leadership development initiatives across all levels, from first time managers to senior leaders
• Work closely with the L&D Director to evaluate and maximise the impact of learning initiatives
• Create and facilitate blended learning experiences and leadership programmes from scratch
• Coordinate development projects and work closely with internal stakeholders and subject matter experts
• Evaluate the effectiveness of learning interventions and identify leadership capability gaps
• Support the development of a continuous learning culture across the organisation
• Identify, source and evaluate external learning partners to ensure quality and alignment
• Manage logistics and essential programme administration to ensure seamless delivery
• Contribute to shaping the internal reputation and influence of the L&D function as we grow

• Deep specialist experience in leadership development, not just generalist L&D
• Strong experience designing and delivering leadership development programmes for multiple levels
• Confident facilitation and presentation skills, including with senior and executive audiences
• A continuous learning mindset, curiosity and awareness of current leadership trends
• Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on operational delivery
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• A collaborative mindset and passion for developing others
• The ability to translate business needs into relevant and timely development solutions
• A coaching qualification is desirable

If you want genuine ownership, variety and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on leadership capability within a fast paced and evolving organisation, we’d love to hear from you.
