impact-led hypotheses. You’ll shape proof-of-concept pilots, define evaluation

designers and solving complex learning challenges
You take ownership, challenge constructively and use business context to make
decisions. You stay curious, test new approaches and simplify where possible.

care and respect for different perspectives. Experience working with learning
experience platforms, Cornerstone, agile development methods, or in retail, FMCG
or another large-scale complex organisation would be useful
