Job Description:

Robert Half is partnering with a exciting B2B enegry business, making big waves in the market. We are in search of a Learning and Development Manager

***Learning & Development Manager***

Location: West London

Working pattern: Hybrid – 3 days per week in the office (flexible on days)

The Opportunity

This is a newly created Learning & Development Manager role within a fast-growing B2B energy business that’s scaling quickly in both size and ambition. The HR function is well established and highly valued, and Learning & Development is the next major investment area.

Rather than stepping into an existing framework, this role offers a genuine greenfield opportunity to design, build and deliver an L&D strategy from the ground up. There is strong senior leadership buy-in, a clear appetite to expand training across the business, and real momentum behind creating a culture of continuous learning.

This is a highly visible, hands-on role for someone who enjoys both strategic thinking and rolling up their sleeves to deliver engaging, high-impact learning themselves.

Responsibilities:

  • Partnering with senior leaders and Heads of Department to understand capability needs
  • Identifying organisational, team and individual skill gaps
  • Designing and personally delivering engaging soft-skills and management development programmes
  • Coordinating technical and role-specific training in partnership with internal subject-matter experts
  • Creating opportunities for cross-skilling and knowledge-sharing across teams
  • Building and embedding succession planning frameworks
  • Developing clear learning pathways for early-career and graduate populations
  • Supporting and upskilling internal trainers and facilitators
  • Setting, tracking and reporting on company-wide L&D objectives and outcomes
  • Measuring the effectiveness of learning interventions and continuously refining approach
  • Championing modern, blended and creative learning methodologies
  • Working closely with HR colleagues to ensure L&D aligns with the wider people and talent strategy.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being both the architect and the facilitator – not just designing programmes, but delivering them and seeing the impact first-hand.

Challenges you will tackle:

  • Building an L&D offering from the ground up
  • Moving from ad-hoc training to a structured, scalable learning strategy
  • Engaging a young, fast-paced audience and avoiding “tick-box” training
  • Balancing creativity with commercial relevance
  • Embedding a genuine culture of continuous learning

About You:

Essential experience:

  • Proven background in Learning & Development within a fast-paced or less structured environment
  • Hands-on experience designing and delivering training yourself
  • Strong facilitation and presentation skills, with the ability to engage and energise diverse audiences
  • Entrepreneurial, creative mindset with confidence to start from a blank page
  • Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence at all levels
  • Comfortable working autonomously and taking full ownership

Nice to have:

  • Experience working closely with HR and talent teams
  • Exposure to succession planning and talent frameworks
  • Experience building L&D functions or programmes from scratch

Why This Role Stands Out:

  • A rare opportunity to shape the entire L&D agenda in a growing business
  • High visibility role with strong senior leadership support
  • Immediate opportunity to make a tangible, lasting impact
  • Long-term scope to evolve the role as the business continues to scale
