Role Overview
We are looking for a proactive and highly organized Senior L&D Program Manager to join our Enablement & Academy team. In this role, you will own and orchestrate all company-wide learning and development initiatives for our 300+ employees.
You’ll align closely with stakeholders across departments, manage the central learning budget, and ensure we invest in high-impact initiatives - from soft skills development, technical upskilling, and language programs to leadership training, cross-functional collaboration workshops, and curated self-paced content libraries.
While you won’t deliver most training yourself, you’ll primarily select, work with, and manage external providers and platforms to ensure the right programs are in place to elevate the skills and capabilities of every Aleph Alpha team member.
