1What this role really is

You'll be the person who makes sure our learning programmes actually run smoothly. Think of it as being the stage manager for our training efforts – you're not the star, but nothing happens without you. You'll handle the logistics, chase the right people, and make sure our learners have a great experience from start to finish. This role is all about reliable delivery and making sure our colleagues get the skills they need without any faff.

2What you'd actually use

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

Learning Management System (LMS) - e.g., Cornerstone OnDemand, Workday LearningIntermediate

HR Information System (HRIS) - e.g., Workday HCM, SAP SuccessFactorsBasic

Looking up employee data (e.g., job roles, manager hierarchies) to verify programme eligibility or support learner queries. You won't be making changes, just viewing.

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 & LogisticsNone. Always confirm with supervisor.Independent for routine session scheduling within established programme timelines. Consult manager for any major shifts or conflicts affecting multiple programmes.Full authority for workstream scheduling. Consult Director on cross-departmental conflicts.

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.

Programme Completion Rate
The percentage of enrolled learners who actually finish a programme you're managing.
Target · 90% for mandatory programmes, 75% for optional ones

If 100 people started the 'Introduction to our Product' programme, we'd expect 90 of them to complete it. You'd track this in the LMS.

Learner Satisfaction Score (L1 Evaluation)
Average score from 'happy sheets' or post-session surveys, measuring immediate reaction to the learning experience.
Target · 4.5 out of 5.0

After a virtual workshop you've coordinated, the average feedback score for logistics, materials, and overall experience should be at least 4.5.

Learner Support Ticket Resolution Time
How quickly you respond to and resolve questions or issues from learners (e.g., login problems, course access).
Target · 95% resolved within 24 hours

Someone can't access a module; you get them sorted within a day. If you're swamped, you'll flag it to your manager, but most of these are on you.

Programme Logistics Error Rate
The number of mistakes in scheduling, communications, materials distribution, or platform setup.
Target · <2% error rate

No one should turn up to a training session only to find the room is double-booked, the Zoom link is wrong, or the pre-work wasn't sent. That's a critical error.

SME & Stakeholder Collaboration Quality
How well you work with Subject Matter Experts and other internal teams to get things done.
  • SMEs consistently meet deadlines for content review
  • they actually enjoy working with you. HR Business Partners come to you proactively for programme updates. You're seen as reliable and easy to work with, rather than a blocker. People will tell your manager you're a good egg.
Proactive Problem Solving
Your ability to spot potential issues before they become big problems and suggest solutions.
  • You flag a potential scheduling conflict a week in advance, not the day before. You notice a trend in learner complaints about a specific module and suggest a small fix to your manager. You don't just bring problems
  • you bring ideas, even if they're small ones.
Programme Documentation & Organisation
Keeping all programme-related materials, schedules, and communications tidy and up-to-date.
  • Anyone could pick up your project folder and understand exactly where things stand. All communications are clear, concise, and sent on time. Your LMS course pages are well-organised and easy for learners to navigate. It's not glamorous, but it's essential.

5Would you like it

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

What people enjoy
Seeing Tangible Impact

You'll get a real kick out of seeing positive feedback from learners, knowing that a smooth-running programme you managed helped them gain a new skill. That feeling when someone thanks you for making their learning experience easy? That's your fuel.

Receiving an email from a new starter saying how much they appreciated the well-organised onboarding programme, which made them feel welcome and ready to contribute.

Solving Practical Problems

You enjoy figuring out how to make complex logistics simple, or troubleshooting a tech issue that's blocking a learner. You like finding efficient ways to get things done and making processes smoother for everyone.

Streamlining the pre-work distribution process for a large cohort, reducing manual effort and ensuring everyone gets the right materials on time.

Being the 'Go-To' Person for Operations

You like being the reliable hub for programme queries and operational tasks. You enjoy being the one who knows where everything is, who to talk to, and how to get things moving. You're comfortable with being the person who 'owns' the details.

Your manager trusts you implicitly with the end-to-end coordination of a recurring programme, knowing you'll handle all the moving parts without needing constant oversight.

What frustrates people
  • The 'Training Panacea': Getting requests to 'fix' a team with a training course when the real problem is clearly something else – like poor management or a broken process.
  • SME Unavailability: Your programme timeline being held hostage by a brilliant-but-swamped Subject Matter Expert who just can't find time to review content or deliver a session.
  • Clunky Tech: Spending too much time fighting with an outdated LMS or a video conferencing tool that just won't behave, leading to a poor user experience.
  • Learner Apathy: Trying to get busy, sometimes cynical, employees to engage with programmes you've poured your heart into, only for them to treat it as a tick-box exercise.
What this role does not give you
  • Full creative control over instructional design (you'll support, not lead, this at this level).
  • Strategic influence over the entire L&D roadmap (that's for more senior roles).
  • A quiet, predictable routine with no last-minute changes (expect some curveballs).

6Who you work with

Your work ensures that our colleagues get the right training at the right time, helping them do their jobs better and grow their careers here. You'll directly contribute to a positive learning culture and make sure our investment in development actually pays off through better-skilled and more engaged employees. Essentially, you're helping us build a more capable workforce, one well-run programme at a time.

Inside the business
  • Learners (our employees)
  • Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) from across the business
  • HR Business Partners
  • Internal Communications & Marketing teams
  • IT Support (for platform issues)
Outside the business
  • Learning content vendors
  • LMS/LXP platform support teams
  • External facilitators or coaches

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 in an L&D, HR, or project coordination role, where you've managed logistics and worked with multiple stakeholders.
  • Demonstrable experience with at least one Learning Management System (LMS) – you'll need to know your way around it.
  • Proven ability to manage multiple tasks and deadlines in a fast-paced environment, ideally for a programme or project.
  • Experience in collecting and summarising feedback or data, even if it's just from simple surveys.
  • Strong command of Microsoft Office Suite (Excel, PowerPoint, Word) or Google Workspace (Sheets, Slides, Docs).

8What to practise next

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

AI-Powered Content Creation & Curation

Generative AI is changing how quickly we can draft learning content and curate resources. As a Programme Specialist, you'll need to know how to use these tools responsibly and effectively to speed up your workflow, not just for research but for drafting communications or even assessment questions.

Prompt engineering basics · Content validation & fact-checking · Ethical AI use in L&D · AI tools for assessment generation

  • This week: Experiment with ChatGPT or Claude to draft a programme communication email or summarise a long article.
  • This month: Explore how AI can help you generate ideas for new assessment questions for a module you're managing.
  • Month 2: Take an online course on prompt engineering to improve your ability to get useful outputs from AI.
  • Month 3: Document how AI has saved you time on a specific task and share your findings with your manager.

Quick win: Start using AI to summarise meeting notes or draft initial outlines for programme guides – it's a low-risk way to get started.

Learning Experience Design (LXD) Principles

It's not just about delivering a course; it's about the entire journey a learner takes. Understanding LXD means you'll think about pre-work, the learning event itself, and post-learning reinforcement. This holistic view will help you make programmes truly effective and engaging.

Learner journey mapping · Motivation & engagement strategies · Performance support integration · Feedback loops for continuous improvement

  • This week: Read up on what 'Learning Experience Design' actually means and how it differs from traditional instructional design.
  • This month: Pick one programme you manage and try to map out the full learner journey, noting all the touchpoints.
  • Month 2: Identify one small change you could make to that programme's pre-work or post-learning support to improve the overall experience.
  • Month 3: Discuss your LXD ideas with a Senior Programme Manager or Instructional Designer to get their insights.

Quick win: When you're drafting programme communications, think about what the learner needs to know *at that exact moment* in their journey, not just all the information at once.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up
  • Attending L&D industry webinars or conferences (e.g., Learning Technologies, World of Learning).
  • Joining professional L&D networks or online communities to share ideas and learn from peers.
  • Taking online courses on specific tools (e.g., advanced LMS features, data visualisation) or L&D methodologies.
  • Reading industry publications and thought leadership pieces to stay current with trends.

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 new skill this role is being asked for: Data Storytelling for L&D

It's not enough to just pull numbers from the LMS anymore. Our leaders want to know what those numbers *mean* for the business. They want a compelling story, not just a spreadsheet. This skill will help you translate data into actionable insights and influence decisions.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

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 Learning Programme Specialist 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:

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, programme management can involve a lot of repetitive tasks. Imagine getting back nearly a full day each week to focus on what really matters – making our learning programmes brilliant. Our L&D team is embracing AI to do just that, and you'll be right at the heart of it.

We're not just talking about buzzwords; we're actively using AI to streamline programme logistics, personalise learner experiences, and even help us curate content faster. You won't be replaced by AI; you'll be empowered by it to be a more effective, strategic Learning Programme Specialist.

Automated Learner Support & Comms

Use an AI chatbot, integrated with our LMS, to instantly answer 70% of common learner questions. Think 'When's the pre-work due?' or 'How do I access module 3?' This frees you up from the constant stream of basic admin queries, letting you focus on bigger issues. It's like having a super-efficient virtual assistant.

Personalised Learning Path Generation

Imagine AI analysing a new starter's role and recommending a tailored sequence of learning content from our LXP. You'll use these AI-generated suggestions to refine and manage personalised pathways within your programmes, moving beyond a one-size-fits-all approach. It means more relevant learning for everyone, with less manual effort from you.

Rapid Content Curation & First Drafts

Need to quickly pull together resources on a new topic for a programme module? Use generative AI to scan, summarise, and cluster the top external articles or research papers. This turns days of research into hours, giving you a solid foundation for new content. You'll still add the human touch and validation, of course.

Smart Assessment & Feedback Analysis

Use AI tools to generate diverse assessment questions based on your programme content. Then, when the feedback rolls in, use natural language processing (NLP) to quickly analyse open-ended survey responses, identifying key themes, sentiment, and actionable suggestions in minutes, not hours. It helps you get to the 'so what?' faster.

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 Learning Programme Specialist, 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 Learning Programme Specialist: 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.

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 – project management, stakeholder coordination, data analysis, and understanding adult learning – are highly transferable. You could easily move into broader HR roles, general project management, operations, or even specialise in learning tech within other industries like finance, healthcare, or government. Good L&D people are always in demand.
