Job Overview:

The Senior Learning and Development Consultant is a senior individual contributor within the People Team. This role independently leads complex learning products, diagnoses performance and capability needs, and advises business partners on the most effective solution.

The role may guide project teams and coach colleagues but does not have direct people-management responsibility.

Responsibilities:

• Consult with business leaders and People Team partners to diagnose performance, knowledge, skill, and capability gaps; distinguish training needs from process, tool, communication, or reinforcement needs; and recommend practical solutions.

• Lead complex learning products from intake and needs analysis through design, development, implementation, evaluation, and continuous improvement.

• Design learner-centered curricula, learning journeys, facilitator guides, job aids, simulations, assessments, digital learning, and blended experiences using adult-learning and instructional-design principles.

• Facilitate high-impact instructor-led, virtual, workshop, cohort, and train-the-trainer experiences; adapt methods to audience needs and strengthen application, practice, and knowledge retention.

• Create evaluation strategies and analyze feedback, knowledge results, adoption indicators, and on-the-job performance measures to assess effectiveness and recommend improvements.

• Partner with leaders, vendors, and cross-functional stakeholders to align learning objectives, content, delivery plans, communications, and reinforcement with business priorities.

• Use learning technology, data, AI-enabled tools, and emerging practices to improve access, scalability, learner experience, and program outcomes in accordance with LPL standards.

• Establish and apply reusable design, facilitation, content, and program-management practices that improve consistency, quality, accessibility, and efficiency across learning solutions.

• Manage scope, milestones, risks, resources, and stakeholder communications; deliver high-quality work on time and within established budgets.

• Provide guidance, coaching, and knowledge sharing to learning colleagues and contributors; review work products and support capability growth within the job area.

• Maintain current knowledge of LPL business priorities, technology, processes, the financial-services environment, and relevant learning trends to ensure solutions remain practical and business aligned.
