Learning & Development Manager
Basingstoke (site-based 5 days a week)
There’s a particular kind of L&D role that doesn’t come up often — one where you’re trusted to shape the agenda, not just deliver it.
I’m partnering with a well-established, project-led business to appoint a Learning & Development Manager into a standalone role with real visibility and influence. You’ll work directly with senior leadership, including the MD, to build capability across the organisation in a way that’s practical, commercially grounded and genuinely embedded
This isn’t about rolling out generic training. It’s about:
- Bringing structure to development — from appraisals through to career pathways
- Strengthening leadership capability in an operational environment
- Building a joined-up approach to succession, apprenticeships and progression
You’ll need to be comfortable operating autonomously, balancing strategic thinking with hands-on delivery, and working closely with stakeholders who value straight-talking, pragmatic input. It’s a site-based role, which will naturally narrow the field — but for the right person, it offers the opportunity to shape something meaningful and visible.
If this aligns, or you’re simply weighing up your next move in L&D, feel free to reach out for a confidential conversation:
