Job Purpose
Help shape how capability is built across a global manufacturing organisation.
This is an exciting opportunity to go beyond traditional Learning & Development and make a real business impact across three Business Groups in the EMEA region. As a Learning & Development Business Partner, you will work as a trusted and influential partner to HR, business and functional leaders at different levels across the organisation.

You will play a key role in shaping and embedding a new approach to capability development across the region, working across multiple businesses, functions, countries and employee populations. With broad exposure to senior stakeholders and the opportunity to influence how learning is designed, owned and delivered, you will help build practical, scalable solutions that strengthen capability and enable better performance — including through digital and AI-enabled approaches.
