3What this role really is

This job involves building the capability of managers and senior leaders across an organisation. It means designing how people grow into leadership roles, coaching them, and shaping how an organisation develops its people.

4What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

Degreed / Cornerstone OnDemand (LXP / LMS) Strategic

Leading vendor selection (RFP), defining the enterprise learning tech ecosystem, and using platform analytics to inform talent strategy for your business unit. You'll be the architect, not just a user.

Hogan Assessments / Korn Ferry 360 (Psychometric & 360° Feedback Tools) Strategic

Integrating assessment data into succession planning, defining leadership competency models based on psychometric profiles of top performers, and overseeing aggregate data analysis across your business unit.

Workday HCM / SAP SuccessFactors (HRIS) Architect

Partnering with the HRIS team to configure talent modules, ensuring data integrity for talent analytics, and presenting integrated talent dashboards to senior leadership. You'll understand how the data flows and can influence its structure.

Tableau / Power BI (Data Visualization & Analytics) Strategic

Defining the key talent metrics for your business unit, directing the creation of executive-level talent dashboards for board reporting, and interpreting complex data stories for senior leaders. You'll be telling the story with data.

Miro / MURAL (Digital Collaboration & Workshop Design) Strategic

Championing the use of digital collaboration tools to scale leadership development, foster a culture of remote-first collaboration, and design highly interactive virtual experiences for senior leaders and your team.

Articulate 360 (Rise, Storyline) (E-Learning Authoring) Advanced

Setting the standards for in-house instructional design, deciding when to build vs. buy e-learning content, and overseeing the development of complex, engaging digital learning modules by your team.

Anaplan / Workday Adaptive Planning (Strategic Workforce & Financial Planning) Strategic

Collaborating with Finance and HRBPs to model the financial impact of talent initiatives, forecast future skill needs for your business unit, and budget for enterprise-wide development programmes. You'll connect talent to the numbers.

5What 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 in Where you are nowThe step above
Programme Design & Curriculum Follows established curriculum, suggests minor improvements. Designs specific modules or components within a broader programme, adapts content for different audiences. Designs and owns end-to-end programmes, including learning objectives, content, and delivery methods. Consults with Director on strategic direction.
Budget Allocation (Programme Specific) Tracks expenses against allocated budget, escalates discrepancies. Manages budget for specific programmes (£5K-£25K), seeks approval for deviations. Owns and manages the annual budget for a portfolio of programmes (£500K-£1M), making trade-offs and investment decisions. Consults with Director on major reallocations.
Vendor Selection & Management Coordinates logistics with pre-selected vendors. Researches and recommends vendors for specific programme components, manages relationships for smaller engagements. Leads the RFP process for significant vendor partnerships (up to £250K), negotiates contracts, and manages ongoing performance. Consults with Director on strategic partnerships.
Team Management & Development N/A (no direct reports). Provides informal guidance to new joiners, shares best practices. Manages a team of 5-10 L&D professionals, including hiring, performance reviews, coaching, and career development. Full authority for team operational decisions.
Strategic Talent Initiatives Executes tasks as part of larger initiatives. Contributes ideas and analysis to strategic initiatives. Defines and drives strategic talent initiatives for a business unit (e.g., new succession planning framework), gaining buy-in from VPs and HRBPs. Aligns with Director on overall company strategy.

6How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, and what is not on it. The hard targets, how often each is actually looked at, and the quiet signals that never reach a dashboard.

Bench Strength for Critical Roles
The percentage of critical roles that have at least one 'ready now' or 'ready in 12 months' internal successor identified through our talent reviews.
Target · Increase from 40% to 60% over 2 years for your business unit.

If we have 10 critical roles in your business unit, we'd expect 6 of them to have a named, developed successor within 24 months, up from 4 today. This isn't just a number; it means less reliance on external hiring and faster transitions.

Leadership Index Scores
The average score on leadership effectiveness questions within our annual employee engagement survey for leaders participating in your programmes.
Target · Demonstrable correlation (e.g., 0.3+ coefficient) between programme participation and higher leadership index scores.

After a new manager development programme, we'd expect participants' teams to report higher satisfaction with their manager's coaching and communication skills compared to a control group, showing the programme actually changed behaviour.

Regrettable Attrition of High-Potentials
The percentage of identified 'High-Po' employees (those with high potential) who voluntarily leave the organisation.
Target · Contribute to a 5% reduction in regrettable attrition among senior leaders and high-potentials.

If we lost 10 high-potential leaders last year, we'd aim to reduce that to 9 this year, partly through targeted development and career pathing that you'll oversee. It's about keeping our best people.

Programme ROI / ROE (Return on Expectation)
The perceived value and business impact of key leadership programmes as assessed by senior business leaders and participants, often tied to specific business outcomes.
Target · 80%+ of key stakeholders agree programmes meet or exceed their stated objectives and provide clear business value.

After launching a new executive coaching initiative, the VP of Sales reports a noticeable improvement in their direct reports' strategic thinking and team collaboration, directly linking it to the coaching. That's a strong ROE.

Stakeholder Trust & Influence
How often senior business leaders proactively seek your advice on talent challenges, involve you in strategic planning, and champion your initiatives.
  • You'll be invited to business unit leadership team meetings, asked to present on talent strategy, and VPs will actively sponsor and advocate for your programmes. They'll call you before they call HR generalists for talent advice. Honestly, it's about being seen as a credible, strategic partner.
Team Effectiveness & Development
The overall performance, engagement, and development of your direct reports, ensuring they are growing and delivering high-quality work.
  • Your team consistently delivers high-quality programmes on time and within budget. They're developing new skills, taking on more complex challenges, and feel supported in their career growth. You'll see them actively mentoring junior colleagues and taking initiative. Low team turnover is a good sign too.
Innovation in Learning Design
The extent to which new and creative learning methodologies and technologies are explored, piloted, and integrated into our talent development offerings.
  • You'll bring forward proposals for new approaches (e.g., micro-learning, AI-powered coaching tools, virtual reality simulations) and successfully pilot at least one significant innovation annually. We're looking for fresh ideas, not just repeating what we've always done.
Organisational Culture Contribution
Your contribution to fostering a culture of continuous learning, feedback, and growth within the organisation.
  • You'll be seen as a champion for learning, actively promoting internal knowledge sharing, facilitating cross-functional learning initiatives, and modelling a growth mindset. People will come to you for advice on their own development, not just for formal programmes.

7Would you like it

Both sides. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy
Building Capability & Seeing Growth

You'll get a real kick out of seeing a manager you've coached or a leader who's been through your programme demonstrate new skills and confidence. The emails from participants thanking you for making a difference? That's your fuel.

Watching a high-potential leader you've mentored get promoted to a critical role, or seeing a business unit's engagement scores improve directly after a leadership intervention you designed.

Strategic Impact & Influence

You thrive on being in the room where decisions are made, shaping the talent agenda, and seeing your strategies implemented across the organisation. You'll enjoy the challenge of convincing senior leaders and getting their buy-in.

Successfully proposing and gaining approval for a new enterprise-wide leadership framework, then seeing it adopted and referenced in performance reviews and succession planning.

Leading & Developing a Team

You genuinely enjoy mentoring, coaching, and empowering your team to do their best work. You'll spend time helping them grow, unsticking them from problems, and celebrating their successes. Their development is a big win for you.

One of your Senior Specialists successfully designs and delivers a complex programme from scratch, crediting your guidance and support for their achievement.

What frustrates people
  • The 'ROI Battle': Constantly having to justify the value of development to data-driven executives who want direct links to revenue.
  • The 'Too Busy' Paradox: Leaders demanding better skills but not committing their own time or their teams' time to development.
  • Executive Pet Projects: Being asked to implement a 'flavour-of-the-month' programme because a C-suite executive read a book about it, even if it doesn't align with business needs.
  • The Data Nightmare: Trying to pull a coherent talent story from disconnected HRIS, LMS, and survey data that don't talk to each other.
  • The 'Butts in Seats' Metric: Fighting the old habit of measuring success by attendance and 'smile sheets' (satisfaction surveys) instead of real behaviour change.
What this role does not give you
  • A purely academic or theoretical environment – we need practical solutions that work here.
  • A role where you can avoid internal politics – influencing is a core part of the job.
  • Guaranteed, immediate, quantifiable ROI for every single initiative – some impact is harder to measure directly.
  • A quiet, heads-down role – you'll be interacting with people constantly, from your team to the C-suite.
  • A completely predictable day – priorities shift, and you'll need to adapt quickly.

8Who you work with

You'll directly shape the leadership capability and succession pipeline for a major business unit, impacting everything from employee engagement and retention to overall business performance. Your work ensures we have the right leaders at the right time, which is pretty crucial for hitting our strategic goals. Honestly, it's about making sure we don't just survive, but thrive, by developing our people.

Inside the business
  • Director, Leadership & Talent Development (your boss)
  • VPs of Business Units (your key internal clients)
  • HR Business Partners (your close collaborators)
  • Finance Leadership (they hold the purse strings)
  • Executive Leadership Team (they need to see the value)
  • Talent Acquisition (to understand future skill gaps)
Outside the business
  • External Executive Coaches
  • Leadership Development Programme Vendors
  • Psychometric Assessment Providers
  • Industry Peers and Associations

9What you need before you start

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

  • Proven experience (at least 8-10 years) in a dedicated Leadership & Talent Development role, with a significant portion spent leading complex programmes.
  • Demonstrable experience managing and developing a team of L&D professionals.
  • A track record of successfully designing, implementing, and evaluating enterprise-wide or business unit-specific leadership development programmes.
  • Strong experience in succession planning, talent review facilitation, and leadership competency modelling.
  • Certification in at least one recognised psychometric assessment tool (e.g., Hogan, MBTI, FIRO-B) and/or a coaching certification (e.g., ICF ACC/PCC).
  • Experience managing significant L&D budgets (e.g., £250K+ annually) and demonstrating ROI/ROE.

10What to practise next

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

Advanced HRIS Configuration & Integration (Workday/SAP)

To truly connect talent data and automate processes, you'll need to understand how our HRIS can be configured and integrated with other learning and talent platforms. This isn't just for the HRIS team anymore; you'll be a key partner in defining requirements and ensuring data flow.

API Integrations · Data Mapping & Governance · Talent Module Optimisation

  • This quarter: Schedule deep-dive sessions with our HRIS team to understand current configurations and integration points.
  • Next 6 months: Lead a project to optimise one talent module within our HRIS, focusing on data quality and user experience.
  • Month 9: Participate in a vendor selection process for a new learning platform, specifically evaluating its integration capabilities.
  • Month 12: Develop a long-term vision for our integrated talent tech stack.

Quick win: Ask the HRIS team for a demo of how talent data flows from a 360° assessment tool into Workday. Understanding the current state is the first step.

Digital Facilitation & Experiential Learning Design (Virtual/Hybrid)

The shift to hybrid work isn't going anywhere. You'll need to be an absolute master at designing and delivering highly engaging, experiential learning programmes that work equally well in virtual, in-person, and hybrid settings. This goes beyond just running a Zoom call.

Virtual Presence & Engagement · Hybrid Learning Design · Advanced Digital Collaboration Tools · Gamification & Immersive Technologies

  • This quarter: Attend an advanced digital facilitation workshop or certification programme.
  • Next 6 months: Redesign one of our existing in-person programmes for a fully hybrid delivery, incorporating new tools and techniques.
  • Month 9: Coach your team members on best practices for virtual and hybrid facilitation.
  • Month 12: Pilot a small gamified learning module or explore a VR/AR application for leadership development.

Quick win: Watch a few YouTube videos on 'advanced Zoom facilitation' or 'Miro for workshops'. Then, try out one new technique in your next team meeting or internal workshop.

11Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Actively participate in industry forums and conferences (e.g., CIPD, ATD, Learning Technologies) to stay current on best practices and emerging trends.
  • Maintain your coaching and/or psychometric certifications through continuous professional development (CPD) activities.
  • Read widely on leadership theory, organisational psychology, and the future of work. We're looking for someone who's genuinely curious.
  • Mentor junior L&D professionals or HR colleagues, sharing your expertise and building your leadership skills.
  • Seek out opportunities to lead cross-functional projects that stretch your strategic and influencing capabilities.

  • Adaptive Learning Platforms
  • Micro-learning & Spaced Repetition
  • AI Coaching Bots
  • Ethical AI in L&D

Advanced People Analytics & Predictive Modelling

We need to move beyond descriptive reporting ('what happened') to predictive analytics ('what will happen') in talent. This means using data to anticipate skill gaps, predict regrettable attrition, and identify high-potential leaders with greater accuracy. Finance and the C-suite expect this level of insight.

  • Predictive Modelling for Talent
  • Correlation vs. Causation
  • Data Storytelling for Executives
  • Data Governance & Integrity

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 Manager, Leadership & Talent Development is actually changing.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, you're already swamped. Imagine shaving off hours from your week, not by cutting corners, but by letting AI handle the grunt work. We're talking about freeing you up to do what you do best: strategise, coach, and build incredible leaders.

In this role, you'll be at the forefront of using AI to make our leadership and talent development more personal, efficient, and impactful. We're not just dabbling; we're actively integrating AI into our daily workflows to give you more time for strategic thinking and less for tedious tasks. Think of AI as your super-smart, always-on assistant.

Personalised Learning Path Curation

Imagine AI analysing an individual's performance reviews, 360° feedback, and career goals, then instantly generating a tailored development plan pulling content from Degreed, LinkedIn Learning, and our internal knowledge base. You'll validate and refine, not build from scratch. This means truly bespoke development at scale.

360° Feedback Theme Analysis

Forget sifting through thousands of open-ended comments from Korn Ferry 360 surveys. AI can process all that qualitative data, identify key themes, sentiment, and behavioural trends across different leader groups, and churn out an executive summary in minutes. You'll get insights instantly, not weeks later.

Competency Model Benchmarking

Need to update our leadership competency model? An AI assistant can research and synthesise models from a dozen industry competitors and top academic sources, identifying common themes and giving you a solid 'first draft' tailored to our company values. This condenses weeks of research into a single afternoon, letting you focus on the nuances.

Programme Communication Campaign Generation

Launching a new leadership programme means a lot of comms. AI can generate a complete campaign for you: tailored announcement emails for executives, FAQs for managers, and engaging messages for participants across Slack/Teams. This ensures consistent messaging and saves you hours of drafting time for each launch.
