Shape the future of Learning, Talent and Capability in a growing, operational business
At Reynolds Food Group, we’re serious about skills, capability and growing our people from within — but we’re equally clear that traditional classroom learning won’t cut it in a fast-paced, operational environment.
We’re now looking for a Learning & Development and Talent Lead to design, build and embed a progressive, skills‑led approach to learning and talent that genuinely improves performance on the ground.
This is a career-defining opportunity for an experienced L&D professional who wants to move beyond “courses and programmes” and create practical, applied learning that sticks — shaping the function, the strategy and the future direction of L&D and Talent across the Group.
The Opportunity
This is not a “maintain what already exists” role.
You will:
Design and lead a modern L&D and Talent function that is embedded into day‑to‑day operations.
Build skills‑based frameworks, Training Needs Analyses (TNAs) and development pathways that directly support productivity, engagement and succession.
Introduce a pragmatic, operationally relevant talent and succession model that leaders actually use.
Reduce reliance on traditional classrooms and innovate with on‑the‑job, blended and experiential learning.
Lead and develop a small, capable L&D team and raise the impact and visibility of learning across the business.
You’ll work closely with Operations Directors, Site Leaders and senior stakeholders, positioning Learning and Talent as a commercial enabler, not a support function.
What We Offer
Annual pay reviews.
Bonus Scheme.
25 days holiday plus Bank Holidays.
Group Personal Pension Plan.
Retail Discount membership.
Health Care Cash Plan membership.
Free onsite parking.
Death in Service Benefit.
Further company tailored benefits achieved through service and commitment.
Don’t miss out on this exciting opportunity to take the next step in your career. If you’re ready to lead, inspire, and make a real impact, apply now and join our growing team.
