The Learning & Development Partner sits within Aderant’s People Team. This role is responsible for consulting with leaders and teams to identify capability and performance needs, then designing and delivering learning solutions that measurably improve performance.

This is a hands-on role for someone who owns work end-to-end: from intake and needs assessment, through learning design and build, through launch, facilitation, measurement, and iteration. You will collaborate across the business, often with limited structure and plenty of ambiguity, and translate ambiguous or evolving business needs into practical, scalable learning experiences.

This role requires strong independent thinking, high standards for quality, and comfort navigating multiple rounds of stakeholder feedback, alignment, and revision without losing momentum or quality. Generative AI is expected to be used as a productivity and synthesis tool, not a substitute for judgment, accuracy, or craft.

• Own learning initiatives and skill focus areas end-to-end, from initial intake through development, launch, measurement, and iteration.
• Partner with leaders and stakeholders to clarify goals, diagnose root causes, and determine whether learning is the right solution versus process, tooling, or clarity gaps.
• Translate vague or shifting requests into concrete learning objectives, target audiences, and success measures.
• Design and deliver blended learning solutions across multiple modalities, including virtual, self-paced, blended, and cohort-based experiences.
• Source, curate, create, and adapt learning content as needed, balancing speed, quality, and scalability while ensuring alignment to business needs.
• Create and maintain high-quality learning assets including facilitator guides, participant materials, job aids, and manager support tools.
• Independently manage project plans, timelines, communications, logistics, and stakeholder alignment across multiple concurrent work streams.
• Manage learning content in shared systems and repositories, keeping materials current, organized, and easy to find.
• Continuously seek and apply stakeholder feedback to refine learning solutions while maintaining alignment to defined objectives and timelines.
• Facilitate learning sessions or directly support facilitation as needed, ensuring solutions are executable in real operating conditions.
• Measure effectiveness using feedback, lightweight assessments, and observable performance signals; iterate based on evidence rather than assumptions.
• Use generative AI to accelerate drafting, synthesis, and analysis while applying strong human judgment, quality control, and responsible-use practices.
• Contribute to improving learning standards, templates, and processes to reduce friction and increase consistency over time.

• 4+ years of experience in Learning & Development, Talent Development, Leadership Development, Enablement, Instructional Design, Learning Program Management, or a related field.
