We work with the companies that are Britain’s economic engine – ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high‑growth businesses that fuel the economy – and directly advise the owners and management teams leading them.

We’ll broaden your horizons

Learning and Development (L&D) is a key enabler of our strategy as an Audit Stream and critical to our success. It supports our ability to attract, develop and retain talented people who take pride in their work and successfully deliver for our business. Effective L&D underpins quality and productivity by supporting our people to develop the necessary knowledge and skills to perform their work, helping them reach their personal and professional potential.

Are you ready to broaden your horizons and make a real impact on the future of learning? We’re looking for an Experienced Manager to join our Audit Stream L&D team to lead on the development of our US Curriculum. This is your chance to shape the future of learning in this important area for the business.

• Develop and deliver high quality, impactful and innovative content that meets learner needs and delivers business outcomes.
• Build strategic relationships with SMEs, Global L&D, and the US firm.
• Support the evaluation of learning impact and effectiveness (lead by our Monitoring, Reporting & Compliance team)
• Bring fresh ideas to support effective learning solutions.
• Support the QC 1000 process, optimising our systems, processes and controls in relation to the US curriculum.
• What We're Looking For
• Experienced Manager with an audit background and recent US experience
• Experience of authoring learning content and/or facilitation would be an advantage but is not essential
• Strong relationship and collaboration skills
• Ability to work independently or as part of a team
• Experience with change programmes is beneficial
• Interest in developing self and others through high-quality learning
• Excellent analytical, interpersonal, and communication skills
• Strong data-analytics and problem-solving skills
• Understanding of business strategy and a focus on delivering effectively
