We believe that a supportive workplace is one where employees feel they can be themselves at work and have the flexibility they need to meet their personal needs. We'll continue to remove barriers for all, and in particular barriers facing employees from underrepresented groups.

    The Role / Position Overview

    To enhance the skills, knowledge and capabilities of our revenue-generating functions and teams. To help commercial business leaders plan for the future workforce and improve all areas of the employee lifecycle.

    Key Responsibilities
    • You will do this through co-creating a commercial development strategy by understanding the context, the market, the customers, the products, and the competition extremely well.
    • When the strategy is agreed by your key stakeholders, you will devise and execute a winning plan, an innovative blended approach to delivery, and be a master at collaborating to ensure successful outcomes.
    • To execute the plan, you will clearly define the target, the "what" and manage the delivery of the "what."
    • You will make sure real progress is made every month and have a pipeline of actions planned at least three months in advance.
    • You are disciplined and will report monthly to your stakeholders about the performance, issues, and opportunities of your area of responsibility.
    • You will take pride in high quality learning solutions and demonstrate the direct impact and delivery of successful outcomes; both strategic and tactical.
    • We expect that you will want to work with hiring managers and our Talent Acquisition team to enhance employee recruitment and onboarding approaches.
    • You enjoy designing and delivering learning interventions, particularly commercial skills training and being innovative and creative in your approach.
    • To help you do this, you will work on your professional development and credibility as well as keeping up to date with the latest skills and techniques in commercial development and digital media.
    • You will act as an investigator that uses data to determine how department performance can improve, and you will validate your analysis by talking to employees, suppliers, customers and competitors.
    • With this data and intel, you will problem-solve and get solutions to delivery so that you add as much value as possible to our commercial teams and can demonstrate impact to the business. We will see this impact in our culture and on the bottom line.
    Required Skills / Experience
    • Knowledge of core commercial skills, latest technologies and blended learning.
    • You will be adept at leading and bringing people with you and will be able to draw on a number of development strategies that benefit a digitally focussed commercial team at all levels.
    • Your experience, passion and enthusiasm will help you to build relationships across the commercial teams, with HR Business Partners and you will work well within the wider Learning and Talent team where this role sits.
    • You may have worked in a commercial role in your career or you may have extensive experience in a people development role within a commercial function/industry.
    • We would love you to have tools and techniques you are confident to use with individuals and teams, such as psychometrics and facilitation methodologies.
    • Any formal education in training and design would be a plus but most important to us is having a vision for this role and how you would deliver.
    • Being able to deliver training online is a must. We currently use Google Meet but as long as you have an understanding of how to get the best out of training virtually, we can bring you up to speed on the platform.
    • A stand out value we look for in our colleagues is a growth mindset. We'd love to talk to you and discuss all that you would like to bring to the role.
