To power this ambition with both speed and scale, we are embracing a new product-oriented operating model, allowing business and technology teams to partner side by side in building, advancing, and delivering global capabilities across our enterprise.

We prioritize user problems, validate solutions through experimentation and data, and iterate quickly to create real value for our users and the business. As part of this model, you’ll collaborate closely with users, stakeholders, and technical teams across the organization, using discovery and delivery practices to ensure we’re building the right things, in the right way, at the right time.

Reporting to the Technical Suite Lead, this role serves as the primary technical leader for the capability, partnering closely with the Product Owner, Activation Lead, development teams, and/or vendor teams to ensure product priorities and global standards.
The Learning and Development team delivers enterprise training and onboarding products, plus reusable learning assets and LMS governance, to build skills across sales, marketing, and CX teams and accelerate adoption of new tools and ways of working.
