Design and oversee leadership development initiatives for key stakeholder groups (e.g., Practice Group Chairs, people leaders, and emerging leaders).
Support coaching, mentoring, succession planning, and high-potential development initiatives.

Digital & AI Capability Development

Partner with the AI committee and the AI facilitator to define the firm's digital fluency and AI capability-building agenda.
Partner with Technology and Professional Development teams to identify emerging skills requirements.
Design learning programs that help individuals effectively leverage technology, AI, and evolving ways of working.
Ensure employees have access to practical, relevant, and role-specific digital learning experiences.

Learning Delivery & Facilitation

Personally design, develop and facilitate selected high-impact learning programs.
Engage and manage external facilitators, coaches, and learning partners where appropriate.
Build and maintain a network of internal subject matter experts who contribute to learning delivery.
Ensure learning experiences are engaging, practical, and focused on measurable outcomes.
Balance strategic leadership with hands-on program development, facilitation and implementation.

Strong curriculum design, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills.
Ability to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution.
Experience influencing senior leaders and driving change across complex professional environments.
