ABOUT THE LEARNING & DEVELOPMENT MANAGER ROLE A core part of Dalberg's mission is to help build future leaders in the social impact sector and maximize the impact that they and Dalberg can have on the world. As part of this, Dalberg is looking to build a more robust learning and development function to design, coordinate and implement our global and regional training offerings. This function will be led by the Global Training Team in collaboration with regional and business-specific training teams and governance committees.

The Learning & Development (L&D) Manager role in the Global Training Team will serve to launch and coordinate our training activity within the firm. The L&D Manager will work closely with the Global L&D Partner and initially work with and oversee an Operations Associate.

The L&D Manager will be tasked with: overall roll-out of global trainings, including in-person and virtual training programs; setting the quality standard for training, including content and facilitation; managing a fit-for-purpose learning management system and communication channels to improve adoption of learning materials on demand; providing thought partnership and bringing to life strategic training priorities; as well as leading a small team to coordinate and produce effective training content that is highly relevant, up to date, and insightful for our people.
