We’re looking for a Global Head of Learning and Development to lead the charge at Kraken! You'll be the driving force behind designing and delivering world-leading learning solutions that support team onboarding, deep cultural immersion, leadership development, and dynamic, discipline-specific training pathways.

 

What you'll do

  • Develop a forward-thinking, global learning strategy that matches our rapid pace of innovation, aligning perfectly with our cultural principles and bold business goals.

  • Spearhead the rollout of new learning technologies (LMS & Career Marketplace), driving a skills-based approach that empowers our teams to own their growth.

  • Architect a blended approach to learning programs, from epic team onboarding and culture immersion to leadership development and role-specific upskilling.

  • Develop relentlessly engaging, accessible learning materials that make upskilling as enjoyable as it is effective.

  • Work seamlessly with elite external performance coaches, content development partners, and our client-facing experience teams to co-create high-impact learning.

  • Constantly optimise by regularly assessing learning needs, gathering data-driven feedback, and rapidly refining training initiatives to drive high performance; just like we do with our software.

  • Leverage the latest in AI, automation, and cutting-edge external platforms to deliver scalable, smart learning solutions.

  • Champion and lead our industry-leading apprenticeship schemes to build the next generation of Kraken talent.

What you'll need

  • A proven track record of designing and executing global L&D strategies that hit business goals out of the park.

  • Experience scaling culture and learning across diverse international teams, seamlessly adapting programs to global and regional needs.

  • Highly skilled in collaborating with top-tier external partners, including performance coaches and content developers.

  • Experience building, inspiring, and leading high-performing, agile L&D teams.

  • A stellar ability to align senior stakeholders, connect learning directly to business strategy, and confidently drive large-scale organizational change.

  • Comfortable managing budgets, proving ROI, and showing exactly how learning moves the needle on business performance.

  • Deep expertise in LMS implementations, AI-driven learning, digital transformation, and staying ahead of emerging L&D trends.

  • An infectious passion for fostering a continuous learning culture, while building an L&D function that is as scalable and sustainable as our energy grids.

  • Proven experience navigating and leading through large-scale, fast-paced business transformations.
