<p>Senior Manager, L&D Studio Leader (India) | Learning Design, Delivery & Ops</p><p>WHO YOU ARE</p><p>You’re a builder and operator who loves turning messy learning demand into clean, scalable delivery. You bring equal parts creative craft (beautiful, “client-ready” learning experiences) and execution discipline (standards, QA, timelines, and operational rigor). You think in systems, coach teams to consistent quality, and know how to run a high-performing “creative studio” that can deliver at pace without chaos.</p><p>You’re comfortable leading a team (~8–10+ over time) and partnering across time zones with senior stakeholders. You’re energized by building playbooks, templates, and workflows that make quality repeatable, not heroic.</p><p>WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN YOUR FIRST YEAR</p><p>You will stand up a reliable L&D Studio “execution engine” in India that:</p><ol><li>high-quality learning assets and facilitation consistently, on time, and at scale</li><li>studio standards (templates, QA, content lifecycle, delivery readiness) that raise the bar across L&D</li><li>an operating rhythm with Portfolio Management and Learning Tech/Data functions so work is prioritized, trackable, and measurable</li><li>learner experience through consistency, branding, and strong production value</li></ol><ol><li>capacity visibility (intake → effort sizing → resourcing) and eliminates last-minute fire drills</li></ol><p>WHAT YOU’LL DO</p><p>Studio Leadership & Team Management</p><p>• Lead and develop a studio team spanning instructional design/content, delivery/facilitation, and learning operations/PMO.</p><p>• Build a strong team culture: clear roles, high standards, coaching, and performance accountability.</p><p>• Create capacity plans and staffing models that flex with demand.</p><p>Learning Design Excellence (Standards + Craft)</p><ol><li>studio-wide design standards, templates, and playbooks to ensure consistent quality and a cohesive brand experience.</li></ol><ol><li>end-to-end content lifecycle: intake → design → build → QA → launch → maintenance/retire.</li></ol><ol><li>learning solutions are fit-for-purpose (ILT/VILT, blended, job aids, toolkits, microlearning, etc.) and not “training for training’s sake.”</li></ol><p>Learning Delivery & Facilitation Quality</p><ol><li>delivery excellence standards (facilitation readiness, session design, producer guidelines, learner engagement practices).</li><li>delivery is operationally sound and high quality, delivered as per planned schedules, and with strong stakeholder management experience. (This is a common expectation in delivery leadership roles).</li></ol><p>Learning Operations & PMO (Make It Repeatable)</p><ol><li>the studio’s operating system: scheduling, coordination, release management, production workflow, and program tracking.</li></ol><ol><li>tooling and routines that make execution visible and predictable (workboards, dashboards, QA checklists, timelines).</li><li>continuous improvement: fewer handoffs, less rework, faster cycle time.</li></ol><p>Cross-Functional Partnership (Portfolio + Tech/Data)</p><ol><li>with Portfolio Management (intake/prioritization/roadmaps) to align studio capacity to business value.</li></ol><ol><li>with Learning Tech/Data to support smooth LMS workflows, publishing processes, reporting, and measurement instrumentation.</li><li>governance mechanisms that protect quality and avoid ad-hoc delivery drift. (Governance and process discipline are typical expectations in L&D leadership roles.)</li></ol><p>WHAT YOU’LL NEED</p><ol><li>years in Learning & Development, Learning Design, Learning Delivery, Learning Operations, or related roles; experience leading across design + delivery + ops is strongly preferred.</li></ol><ol><li>years people leadership experience (direct management), ideally leading multi-disciplinary teams.</li></ol><ol><li>strength in building standards, templates, QA, and operating rhythms that scale delivery.</li><li>program/project management skills: scoping, resourcing, timelines, risk management, stakeholder communication.</li><li>operating in global, fast-moving environments; high ownership and bias to action.</li><li>communication skills — able to translate ambiguity into crisp plans and coach others into consistent execution.</li></ol><p>BONUS POINTS</p><ol><li>in a learning “studio” or delivery center model (consulting/shared services/COE).</li><li>modernizing learning production workflows (intake, workflow automation, content governance).</li><li>with common authoring tools and virtual delivery best practices.</li></ol><p>WHAT’S IN IT FOR YOU</p><ol><li>chance to build a high-visibility capability from the ground up: a studio that becomes the backbone for scalable learning delivery.</li></ol><ol><li>leadership scope, autonomy, and the opportunity to raise quality across the enterprise.</li></ol><h3>experience</h3>12
