Robert Half is partnering with a exciting B2B enegry business, making big waves in the market. We are in search of a Learning and Development Manager Location: West London Working pattern: Hybrid – 3 days per week in the office (flexible on days) The Opportunity This is a newly created Learning & Development Manager role within a fast-growing B2B energy business that’s scaling quickly in both size and ambition. The HR function is well established and highly valued, and Learning & Development is the next major investment area. Rather than stepping into an existing framework, this role offers a genuine greenfield opportunity to design, build and deliver an L&D strategy from the ground up. There is strong senior leadership buy-in, a clear appetite to expand training across the business, and real momentum behind creating a culture of continuous learning. This is a highly visible, hands-on role for someone who enjoys both strategic thinking and rolling up their sleeves to deliver engaging, high-impact learning themselves. Responsibilities: • Partnering with senior leaders and Heads of Department to understand capability needs, • Identifying organisational, team and individual skill gaps, • Designing and personally delivering engaging soft-skills and management development programmes, • Coordinating technical and role-specific training in partnership with internal subject-matter experts, • Creating opportunities for cross-skilling and knowledge-sharing across teams, • Building and embedding succession planning frameworks, • Developing clear learning pathways for early-career and graduate populations, • Supporting and upskilling internal trainers and facilitators, • Setting, tracking and reporting on company-wide L&D objectives and outcomes, • Measuring the effectiveness of learning interventions and continuously refining approach, • Championing modern, blended and creative learning methodologies, • Working closely with HR colleagues to ensure L&D aligns with the wider people and talent strategy. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys being both the architect and the facilitator - not just designing programmes, but delivering them and seeing the impact first-hand. Challenges you will tackle: • Building an L&D offering from the ground up, • Moving from ad-hoc training to a structured, scalable learning strategy, • Engaging a young, fast-paced audience and avoiding “tick-box” training, • Balancing creativity with commercial relevance, • Embedding a genuine culture of continuous learning About You: Essential experience: • Proven background in Learning & Development within a fast-paced or less structured environment, • Hands-on experience designing and delivering training yourself, • Strong facilitation and presentation skills, with the ability to engage and energise diverse audiences, • Entrepreneurial, creative mindset with confidence to start from a blank page, • Strong stakeholder management skills and the ability to influence at all levels, • Comfortable working autonomously and taking full ownership Nice to have: • Experience working closely with HR and talent teams, • Exposure to succession planning and talent frameworks, • Experience building L&D functions or programmes from scratch Why This Role Stands Out: • A rare opportunity to shape the entire L&D agenda in a growing business, • High visibility role with strong senior leadership support, • Immediate opportunity to make a tangible, lasting impact, • Long-term scope to evolve the role as the business continues to scale Click apply if this role aligns with you and I will give you a call.
