Our Leadership and Talent Development team is now looking for a Talent Development Advisor to join us on a six-month fixed-term contract. This is a fantastic opportunity to support our renowned Retail Academy and apprenticeship programmes, helping shape the future of talent at Harrods.
Please note this is a 6 month Fixed Term Contract.
About The Role
In this role, you will be at the heart of our Talent Development efforts – supporting key programmes and initiatives that bring growth opportunities to colleagues across our business. Reporting to the Talent Development Manager, you will act as Programme Lead for the Retail Academy apprenticeship cohorts, while also managing business-as-usual apprenticeships across various functions such as Buying & Merchandising, H-Beauty, Brand Experience, and more.
Key responsibilities include:
* Leading the Retail Academy Programme for 2024–2026 cohorts: onboarding, coordinating learning, and implementing feedback.
* Managing end-to-end apprenticeship processes, including contracting with training providers, tracking progress, and organising key events.
* Supporting broader team initiatives such as learning sessions, career clinics, and cross-functional development projects.
* Producing insights through data analysis and maintaining strong relationships with stakeholders to champion apprenticeships within and beyond the business.
This is a hybrid role based at our Hammersmith office, with a minimum of three days per week onsite, in line with our Hybrid@Harrods policy.
About You
You will be an experienced learning and development professional with a strong background in managing apprenticeships and programmes from start to finish. You’ll thrive on collaboration and have a flair for coaching, facilitation, and stakeholder engagement.
You will also:
* Be confident in managing relationships across all levels – from applicants to training providers and senior leaders.
* Have a proactive and organised approach, able to juggle multiple projects with excellent attention to detail.
* Be curious, data-savvy, and always seeking ways to improve and innovate.
* Bring experience using LMS platforms (Workday is a plus, but not essential).
* Be a self-starter who thrives in fast-paced environments and embraces change with energy.
