This role is all about making sure our people get the right training at the right time. You'll be the person who keeps a specific learning programme running smoothly, from getting people enrolled to making sure the content is up-to-date. Think of it as owning a mini-business within our Corporate University, ensuring our colleagues have the skills they need to do their jobs well and grow their careers. It's a hands-on role where you'll be juggling a few different plates, but you'll have a real impact on how our teams learn and develop.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choiceComing inWhere you are nowThe step above
Programme Scheduling ChangesEscalate all changes to supervisor for approval.Can adjust minor dates (within 1 week) for existing programmes, informing manager. Major changes (e.g., moving a programme to a different quarter) require manager approval.Can independently adjust programme schedules within a portfolio, informing stakeholders. Significant changes require consultation with Director.
Content UpdatesExecute specific content updates as directed by supervisor.Propose and implement minor content updates (e.g., factual corrections, updated links) after SME review and manager's awareness. Major content overhauls require manager approval.Lead content review cycles, design significant content updates, and approve changes after SME and stakeholder alignment.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Course Enrollment Accuracy
How accurately you process learner enrolments and cancellations for your programmes.
Target · >99% accuracy

If you process 100 enrolments in a month, we'd expect no more than one error, like someone being put on the wrong course or missing a confirmation email.

Learner Support Resolution Time
How quickly you resolve basic questions and issues from learners about their courses or the platform.
Target · Resolve 90% of Tier 1 tickets within 24 hours

A learner can't log in, or they can't find a course. You'd aim to get them sorted within a day, most of the time.

Programme NPS/Satisfaction
The Net Promoter Score (NPS) or overall satisfaction rating from learners for the programmes you manage.
Target · Achieve an average NPS of +50 or 4/5 satisfaction

If a programme gets a score of +60, that tells us learners are really happy and would recommend it to others. We're looking for that kind of positive feedback.

Completion Rates
The percentage of learners who complete mandatory programmes by their given deadline.
Target · Ensure mandatory programmes achieve >95% completion by deadline

For our annual compliance training, if 100 people are enrolled, we'd expect at least 95 of them to have finished it by the cutoff date. You'll be chasing the stragglers.

Vendor Relationship Strength
How well you manage and communicate with our external training providers, ensuring they deliver on time and to our standards.
  • Vendors proactively share updates and flag issues early
  • contracts are renewed smoothly
  • positive feedback from vendors about your clarity and responsiveness
  • no last-minute scrambling due to miscommunication.
Content Quality & Relevance
The degree to which the learning materials in your programmes are accurate, up-to-date, and genuinely useful for our learners.
  • Low number of learner complaints about outdated content
  • positive feedback from SMEs on content accuracy
  • you're regularly reviewing and suggesting minor updates to course materials
  • content aligns with current business needs.
Proactive Problem Solving
Your ability to spot potential issues with programme delivery or learner experience before they become big problems, and then suggest solutions.
  • You flag a potential scheduling conflict before it impacts a cohort
  • you notice a common technical issue and suggest a workaround
  • you anticipate learner questions and update FAQs
  • you don't just report problems, you come with ideas.
Organisational Skills
How effectively you manage your time, tasks, and programme logistics to ensure smooth operations.
  • Deadlines are consistently met
  • project plans are clear and up-to-date
  • you can quickly pull up information about programme status
  • you rarely miss a meeting or forget a follow-up action.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Making a Tangible Difference

You'll get a real kick out of seeing a learner's positive feedback, or hearing how a training programme you managed helped someone perform better in their role. It's about seeing the direct impact of your work.

Someone sending you an email saying, 'That course you organised really helped me with X, thank you!'

Organising & Optimising

If you love taking something a bit messy and making it run like a well-oiled machine, you'll enjoy this. You'll be constantly looking for ways to make our learning programmes more efficient, from scheduling to content delivery.

Streamlining the enrolment process so it takes half the time it used to, or creating a new template that saves everyone effort.

Continuous Learning & Growth

You're in L&D, so naturally, you'll be surrounded by learning! You'll get to explore new tools, methodologies, and content areas, constantly expanding your own knowledge while helping others do the same.

Getting to test out a new e-learning authoring tool or researching the latest trends in adult learning theory for a new programme.

What frustrates people
  • Chasing learners for mandatory course completions, sometimes repeatedly.
  • Dealing with technical glitches on the learning platform that are outside your control.
  • Getting last-minute requests to change programme dates or content, messing up your carefully planned schedule.
  • Trying to get busy Subject Matter Experts to give you their time for content reviews or updates.
  • Working with a limited budget that means you can't always implement the 'perfect' solution.
What this role does not give you
  • A purely strategic role—you'll be very hands-on with programme delivery.
  • Complete autonomy over programme design and content—you'll be working within established frameworks.
  • A quiet, predictable 9-to-5 job—expect some urgent requests and shifting priorities.
  • The chance to ignore administrative tasks—there's a fair bit of paperwork and tracking involved.

6Who you work with

You're directly helping our employees grow, which means they're more productive, they stick around longer, and they're generally happier. You're making sure our investment in learning actually pays off by keeping programmes running smoothly and effectively. Without you, our learning offerings would probably fall apart pretty quickly, leaving skill gaps all over the place. It's about building capability, one programme at a time.

Inside the business
  • Learners (our employees)
  • Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from various departments
  • HR Business Partners
  • IT Support team
  • Internal Communications team
Outside the business
  • External training providers and vendors
  • Learning platform support teams

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

  • At least 2 years of experience working in a Learning & Development, HR, or training coordination role, or equivalent experience in project coordination.
  • Proven experience managing administrative tasks for programmes or projects, demonstrating strong organisational skills.
  • Experience using a Learning Management System (LMS) – we don't mind which one, as long as you've got the basics down.
  • A solid grasp of Microsoft Office Suite, especially Excel for data handling and PowerPoint for presentations.
  • Demonstrable ability to communicate clearly and professionally, both in writing and verbally.

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

LMS/LXP Optimisation

You'll move beyond just using the LMS to actively making it work harder for us. This means understanding its deeper functionalities to improve learner experience, automate processes, and get richer data.

Exploring advanced reporting features to pull more · Setting up automated enrolment rules or notificati · Configuring learning pathways or content recommend · Understanding basic API integrations with other HR

  • This week: Spend 30 minutes exploring the 'admin' section of our LMS you don't usually use.
  • This month: Identify one manual process you do in the LMS and research if there's an automation feature that could help.
  • Month 2: Work with a senior colleague to understand how our LMS integrates with our HRIS and what data flows between them.
  • Month 3: Propose a small improvement to the LMS configuration that would enhance learner experience or save administrative time.

Quick win: Find out how to customise the learner dashboard in the LMS to highlight key programmes or announcements. It's usually a simple setting change.

Intermediate E-learning Authoring (Articulate Storyline)

While you start with simpler tools like Rise, the ability to create more engaging, interactive, and complex e-learning experiences is crucial for higher-impact programmes. Storyline offers much more flexibility.

Understanding layers, states, and triggers for int · Designing branching scenarios for decision-making · Creating custom quizzes with varied question types · Basic animation and multimedia integration.

  • This week: Watch a 30-minute introductory tutorial on Articulate Storyline on YouTube.
  • This month: Try to recreate a simple Rise course in Storyline, focusing on adding one or two interactive elements.
  • Month 2: Take a short online course (e.g., LinkedIn Learning) on Storyline basics and complete a small practice project.
  • Month 3: Offer to help a senior instructional designer with a small component of a Storyline course they are building, to get hands-on experience.

Quick win: Learn how to use Storyline's 'drag and drop' interaction. It's a fun way to make content more engaging without needing advanced coding.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Joining relevant professional bodies like the CIPD or The Learning & Performance Institute (LPI) for networking and resources.
  • Attending industry webinars or online conferences to stay up-to-date on L&D trends and best practices.
  • Taking online courses (e.g., on LinkedIn Learning, Coursera) in areas like project management, data analysis, or advanced Excel.
  • Seeking out a mentor within the L&D field, either internally or externally, to guide your development.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Corporate University Manager is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

Provide learning opportunities for colleaguesLevel 3

One to one, not one to many

No two people run this the same way

A course is written once and handed to everyone. This is assembled around you, and keeps changing as it learns you. Five things it reads, and what each one changes.

  1. Your actual work Every lesson is taught against a live piece of your own work, not a worked example from a textbook.
  2. What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
  3. The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
  4. How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
  5. Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

See how you learn, free. Eight questions, no sign-up. A directional taster; the diagnostic inside Zavmo goes deeper and keeps adapting.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a lot of L&D work can be a bit repetitive, can't it? Imagine cutting down on the tedious stuff so you can focus on making learning truly impactful. That's where AI comes in. It's not about replacing you, it's about giving you superpowers.

As a Corporate University Manager, you're juggling programme logistics, content updates, and learner queries. AI can take a huge chunk of that manual work off your plate, freeing you up to be more creative, more strategic, and frankly, less stressed. Think of it as having a really smart assistant who never sleeps.

Content Creation Accelerator

Use AI tools to whip up initial drafts of course outlines, scripts for short training videos, quiz questions, and realistic role-play scenarios. Just feed it your source documents – like a new policy or a product spec – and watch it generate content that would usually take you hours. It's brilliant for beating that 'blank page' syndrome.

Learner Feedback Synthesizer

Ever spent ages sifting through hundreds of open-ended comments from course evaluations? No more! Pop all that feedback into an AI model, and it'll instantly identify key themes, gauge sentiment (positive, negative, neutral), and pull out actionable suggestions. You'll get insights in minutes, not days, for your month-end reports.

Personalised Path Curator

Imagine an AI-powered learning experience platform (LXP) that looks at an employee's role, their skill gaps from performance reviews, and their career aspirations. It then automatically recommends a tailored playlist of internal courses, external articles, and even potential mentors. You'll spend less time manually curating and more time ensuring relevance.

Communication Campaign Drafter

Launching a new learning programme means getting the word out. Use generative AI to draft a multi-channel communication campaign – emails, Slack messages, intranet articles – all tailored to different audience segments. It'll save you hours of writing and make sure your messages really hit home.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Corporate University Manager, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

  • Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
  • Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
  • Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 10 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Corporate University Manager: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.

15Where to go from here

Other roles at Level 3

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Learning and Development

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll build here – programme management, stakeholder engagement, understanding adult learning, and using learning technology – are highly transferable. You could easily move into L&D roles in other industries (e.g., healthcare, finance, public sector), or even into broader HR roles, project management, or operations management where a focus on process and people is key.
