The Role:
Our client is expanding their people operations and are now hiring for a Learning & Training Manager on an 18-month contract to implement and manage a coordinated training delivery across their growing business. Reporting to the HR Director, you'll oversee the planning, coordination, and delivery of training programmes across multiple departments. This is a hands-on operational role - you'll be responsible for moving the organisation from scattered, departmental training approaches to a more integrated, measurable system. You'll work with department managers to plan training activity, liaise with external training providers, track completion and effectiveness, and ensure new starters receive consistent, high-quality induction experiences.

* Work with operational and departmental managers to plan and schedule training interventions aligned to business needs
* Source, select, and manage relationships with external training providers for specialist content delivery
* Design and rollout standardised induction and onboarding processes to ensure consistency for all new joiners
* Create and maintain training records, track attendance, and report on training activity and completion rates
* Develop clear pathways and progression frameworks for graduate and early-career programmes
* Coordinate training delivery schedules to minimise operational disruption
* Introduce basic training metrics and reporting to demonstrate the business impact of training investments
* Support the selection and implementation of a Learning Management System
* Partner with managers to identify capability gaps and translate these into targeted training solutions
What We're Looking For:
Essential
* 7+ years' experience managing or delivering training programmes in a multi-site or operationally complex environment
* Track record of implementing training systems and driving adoption across organisations
* Strong organisational and project management skills - you can coordinate multiple workstreams, providers, and stakeholders
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with ability to build credibility across different teams and levels
* Experience working with external training providers and managing those relationships
* Comfortable with data and reporting and able to track training metrics and present findings clearly
* Self-motivated and able to work independently to drive initiatives forward
* Pragmatic approach to problem-solving - comfortable adapting solutions based on operational reality
