You'll partner closely with stakeholders to understand what they actually need (not just what they first ask for), design learning experiences built around how people really learn, pilot solutions, and continuously refine them based on feedback and results. Alongside project work, you'll help keep our learning management system (Thrive) running smoothly, supporting users, managing learning content and using data to understand what's working and where we can improve. You'll also be comfortable using AI as part of your day-to-day work, exploring how it can help us design, develop and deliver high-quality learning faster and smarter without compromising quality. As you develop in the role, you'll have opportunities to facilitate learning sessions and contribute to a wide variety of L&D initiatives across the business. We're a small team with plenty of exciting projects, so you'll gain broad experience, take on increasing responsibility and have lots of opportunities to learn and grow.

Team You'll report directly to the L&D Lead as part of a small, hands-on and collaborative L&D team. You'll receive plenty of support as you get up to speed, while being trusted with real ownership from the start. We value people who take initiative, are comfortable navigating ambiguity and enjoy challenging ideas to find better solutions. Like everyone at Laminar, you'll have your own Individual Development Plan, designed to support both your personal and professional growth. Working with your manager and a wider development team, you'll set meaningful goals, build new skills and continue developing throughout your career. It's a core part of how we invest in our people, and something you'll experience yourself, not just help deliver for others.

Your top three objectives Design and deliver impactful learning solutions that build capability and help all Lamineers to flourish Build trusted partnerships with stakeholders to identify learning needs and create the right solutions. Commit to continuous improvement by embracing new ways of working, growing your own capability and contributing to the development of others.

Your top five responsibilities Partner and challenge: Work closely with stakeholders to explore growth opportunities.

Facilitate and contribute: Facilitate learning sessions, including our Laminar Way series, and contribute to a wide range of L&D initiatives, building your facilitation skills and broadening your impact over time.

Your Capabilities You'll thrive in this role if you're curious about how people learn and enjoy designing learning solutions that make a real difference. You're comfortable taking ownership, asking thoughtful questions and navigating ambiguity to find the best way forward. You enjoy variety and working across different parts of the L&D cycle.
