Job description, responsibilities and duties
Join our team as Head of Learning & Development
The Head of Learning & Development is a senior position in our Organisation & People Development (OPD) function. We are one of three Centres of Excellence within Human Resources. As our new colleague you will lead a team of talented professionals and will be a member of the OPD Leadership team.
Since we are a knowledge company, employee development is a fundamental part of our philosophy and strategy as it contributes significantly to the success of the firm.
You will be responsible for learning and development globally ensuring this is aligned to Swiss Re's strategy and business priorities. You will take care of L&D strategy, shaping learning culture, relevant governance and the eco-system required to make learning as effortless as possible and personalised for employees. Your content scope is wide including leadership skills, soft skills, sales, finance, young talent programs and more.
You and your team will also work closely with the business on technical capabilities where these relate to major initiatives or transformations. The business units will take the lead, but you will be a valuable partner using your expertise to steer the approach for learning and the architecture for solutions.
At Swiss Re we like to celebrate our achievements, and we have won many awards for our progressive learning approaches and you will have the opportunity to share and apply your passion to push the boundaries further. You will need to develop a strong peer network and are likely to be a thought leader bringing deep understanding of emerging best practices and technology.
To be successful in the role you will collaborate with other expert functions, for example Talent, Inclusion & Diversity, Strategic People Planning, Executive Leadership Development and more. You will partner with a wide stakeholder group including colleagues, for example in HR, the Business Units and IT. You'll demonstrate great leadership and will drive a culture of performance.
The team is diverse, loves to have fun and be creative. We attach a lot of importance to collaboration, sharing, diversity and agility. The team is located across several major Swiss Re offices globally and is often embedded into broader working groups in OPD, regularly working as part of agile teams on major deliverables.
