About You
We are looking for a dynamic and commercially aware Learning & Development Partner who can elevate capability across our Sales & Marketing function - driving performance through impactful, engaging and insight-led learning.
You bring strong experience designing and delivering sales training programmes, with a clear understanding of what drives performance in a fast-paced, target-driven environment. You know how to translate business goals into practical, high-impact learning interventions that genuinely improve capability and results.
You are confident working across a blended learning approach, creating and delivering everything from face-to-face workshops to digital and eLearning content. Whether it is technical sales skills, behavioural capability or soft skills development, you create content that lands, engages and sticks.
