Audit Stream Learning & Development - Business Partnering Manager for Projects
Ideas | People | Trust
We're BDO, an accountancy and business advisory firm providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organizations need to navigate today's changing world.
We work with Britain's economic engine—ambitious, entrepreneurially spirited, high-growth businesses—and advise their owners and management teams directly.
Our Approach
We'll broaden your horizons
The Business Partnering (BP) team plays a vital role within Learning & Development (L&D), partnering with the Audit Stream to identify learning needs and develop appropriate responses. They work alongside the business to drive the L&D agenda and coordinate activities across support teams.
The BP team acts as the business voice within L&D, providing oversight and challenge internally, and representing L&D to the business within the Audit Stream.
The Business Partnering Manager for Projects will collaborate with stakeholders to identify needs outside our Early in Careers and Post-qualified curricula, focusing on project-based activities that require coordination across core and role-specific programs.
Using their understanding of business priorities, they will align L&D activities with business needs, coordinate with stakeholders, and work collaboratively with the team to ensure comprehensive learning needs analysis and best practice sharing.
They will work with the Learning Development team to translate business objectives into effective learning interventions, support content implementation, and oversee learning effectiveness reviews. They may also facilitate onsite program delivery.
