Full Job Description

About the Role

GenFed is building a more consistent, practical approach to developing employees across our organization.

The Workforce Development Manager will lead that effort by helping build and manage our workforce capability function. This role translates real work into clear, usable tools that improve confidence, consistency, manager effectiveness, and employee performance.

This is not a traditional training coordinator role. Success in this position depends on understanding how work gets done, building practical solutions, and helping managers and employees succeed in real-world environments.

This role bridges Human Resources and Operations by helping ensure employees have the knowledge, tools, and support they need to succeed.

The person selected will have significant autonomy and the opportunity to shape how GenFed approaches onboarding, workforce development, and manager support for years to come.

This position exercises significant independent judgment in identifying organizational capability needs, establishing priorities, developing practical solutions, and recommending improvements that support the organization's strategic objectives.

What You'll Do

Partner with leaders across the organization to understand capability needs and identify gaps in knowledge, consistency, or readiness
Observe work in real environments to better understand challenges and develop practical solutions
Develop and maintain practical training materials, job aids, guides, and learning resources
Lead and continuously improve onboarding processes to create a consistent employee experience
Manage and optimize learning content and assignments within the Learning Management System (Litmos)
Identify patterns in questions, errors, or feedback and address root causes through better training, clearer processes, or improved tools
Evaluate workforce development requests and recommend solutions based on organizational impact, root causes, and business priorities
Support the rollout and successful adoption of new products, services, systems, and ways of working through practical learning support
Equip managers with practical tools and resources that strengthen coaching, development, and accountability
Recommend and implement improvements that strengthen employee capability, consistency, and workforce readiness
Manage priorities and execution within the workforce capability function, exercising independent judgment and a strong sense of ownership and follow-through
Build strong working relationships across departments and serve as a trusted partner to operational leaders

What Success Looks Like

A successful person in this role:

Builds trust and credibility across the organization
Translates complex work into practical, easy-to-use solutions
Balances strategic thinking with day-to-day execution
Takes ownership and follows through
Helps create a more capable, confident, and consistent workforce
Continuously looks for opportunities to improve organizational effectiveness
Enjoys building, improving, and helping others succeed

Role Clarity

Managers own team performance, accountability, and operational execution
This role supports managers by building practical systems, tools, and learning resources
The focus is on capability-building, not overly complex training programs
This position works in partnership with leaders across the organization but does not replace management ownership of outcomes

What We're Looking For

We're less interested in a specific educational background and more interested in demonstrated capability and practical results.

The ideal candidate will have:

Strong communication skills with the ability to simplify concepts and make information easy to apply
The ability to work independently, exercise sound judgment, and drive progress with limited oversight
Experience managing multiple priorities and following through consistently
The ability to exercise independent judgment, manage complex projects, and deliver results
A practical, solution-oriented mindset focused on what works in real environments
Strong initiative, adaptability, and ownership
The ability to build strong working relationships across departments
The ability to influence and build alignment across departments without relying on formal authority
Curiosity about how people learn, develop, and improve, along with a desire to continuously strengthen organizational effectiveness
Comfortable using digital communication and collaboration tools to support teams across multiple locations
Comfortable presenting ideas and building relationships through both in-person and digital communication

Helpful Experience

We value demonstrated capability over a particular educational path.

Helpful experience may include:

Training and development
Onboarding
Coaching and leadership support
Operations or process improvement
Employee development
Project management
Cross-functional collaboration
Financial services or a similar operational environment
Learning management systems or practical learning design

Equivalent combinations of experience, demonstrated capability, and a track record of delivering practical results will be considered.

Why This Role Matters

This role helps ensure our teams feel confident in their work, supports consistency across locations, strengthens manager effectiveness, and builds a workforce that is ready to meet changing business needs.

If you're someone who enjoys building, solving problems, connecting with people, and turning ideas into practical results, we'd like to talk with you.
