Why This Role Matters
Arm is evolving beyond IP into full silicon and product delivery. This shift requires stronger, more integrated technical capability across the entire silicon lifecycle. This role will lead the development of that capability—ensuring the right skills exist across the business to support delivery, innovation, and growth.
The Role
Reporting to the Senior Director, Talent & Development, you will define and deliver Arm’s global technical development strategy. You’ll build a modern, scalable, AI‑enabled learning ecosystem that strengthens engineering capability and drives measurable business impact.
This is largely a strategic individual contributor role (with two direct reports), combining enterprise‑wide influence with accountability for execution, governance, budget, and outcomes.
Key Responsibilities
Engineering Capability
- Define and deliver a multi-year capability strategy aligned to Arm’s technologies.
- Partner with engineering leaders to identify skill gaps and implement targeted solutions.
- Run regular capability reviews and prioritise investment based on delivery risk.
- Link initiatives to measurable outcomes (productivity, quality, time‑to‑market, innovation).
Strategy & Ecosystem
- Build a global technical development framework.
- Establish communities of practice, expert networks, and mentorship programmes.
- Manage external partners (e.g. universities, vendors) to accelerate capability build.
Learning Infrastructure (LMS)
- Ensure robust tracking of skills, certifications, and capability data.
- Integrate learning data with broader skills and business insights.
- Partner with others on the team to maintain LMS governance, standards, and data integrity.
Learning Innovation & Delivery
- Partner with engineering teams on budget, governance, and delivery standards.
- Ensure programmes are timely, scalable, and commercially effective.
Candidate Profile
- Background in Learning Science, Engineering, or related field.
- Proven experience leading technical enablement or engineering development in a global tech environment.
- Track record of building and scaling technical academies or capability frameworks.
What You’ll Bring
- Ability to communicate strategic value and ROI to senior stakeholders.
- Strong balance of strategy and execution.
- Commercially minded and data-driven.
- Experience building capability systems (not just programmes).
- Comfortable leading change in complex, evolving organisations.
