We are looking for a builder, someone who thrives on creating structure and clarity from the ground up. The L&D Manager will design and deliver scalable learning systems that accelerate onboarding, deepen leadership capability, and strengthen the culture that drives Karbon’s success.
While this is a builder role, you should also be very comfortable and energized by facilitation and training delivery. However, at its core, this role is about designing the frameworks, programs, and rhythms that make learning a business driver, improving productivity, retention, and leadership readiness across a global, hybrid organization.
About the Role
- Design and deliver scalable learning systems
- Build a unified “Learning at Karbon” framework that connects onboarding, leadership development, and ongoing capability building.
- Design programs that accelerate time to productivity for new hires and improve manager effectiveness at all levels.
- Develop the Karbon Manager Core program focused on coaching, feedback, and accountability.
- Refresh and evolve the Emerging Leaders Program into a globally scalable, blended model with AI-enabled learning experiences.
- Operationalize learning across the employee journey
- Own and enhance Karbon’s Onboarding Academy, ensuring every new hire has a consistent, role-specific 30-60-90 ramp.
- Partner with HRBPs and functional leaders to identify learning needs linked to business outcomes.
- Embed learning tools and resources in the flow of work, self-serve, searchable, and accessible globally.
- Measure impact and enable scale
- Define clear success metrics for all programs tied to productivity, internal mobility, and retention.
- Partner with our Ops and Finance functions to track and report on learning ROI and capability development.
- Leverage AI and data to personalize learning and automate delivery where possible.
- Champion culture and leadership at scale
- Curate learning experiences that reinforce Karbon’s values and ways of working.
- Equip leaders with resources and rituals that help them drive connection, accountability, and performance within their teams.
- Build recognition for internal facilitators and learning champions across the company.
What Success Looks Like
- Within three months, learning programs are unified under a single “Learning at Karbon” identity.
- Managers are using consistent frameworks for feedback, coaching, and development.
- Onboarding ramps are shortened with measurable improvements in early productivity.
- The Emerging Leaders Program is scaled globally with high engagement and visible progression.
- L&D outcomes are linked to retention, internal mobility, and performance data.
