Onboarding & Integration
- Lead the design and delivery of induction programs that immerse new hires in QuilomboUK’s mission, values, and D&I commitments.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure onboarding content reflects role-specific and cultural integration needs.
- Monitor new hire feedback to refine onboarding experiences and reduce time-to-productivity.
Training Evaluation & Continuous Improvement
- Measure training effectiveness using key performance indicators (KPIs) such as engagement rates, knowledge retention, and behavioural change.
- Analyse feedback surveys, LMS data, and performance metrics to identify gaps and iterate on content.
- Stay ahead of L&D trends (e.g., gamification, AI-driven learning) to innovate QuilomboUK’s programs.
D&I Integration
- Ensure all learning initiatives prioritise equity, cultural competence, and trauma-informed approaches.
- Partner with ERG (Employee Resource Group) leaders to co-create programs that address systemic inequities.
- Advocate for accessible learning design, including accommodations for neurodiverse individuals and those with disabilities.
Qualifications
- Experience: 3+ years in L&D, instructional design, or leadership development, ideally within mission-driven or D&I-focused organisations, with hands-on experience using AI tools.
- Skills:
- Expertise in e-learning authoring tools (e.g., Articulate, Canva) and LMS platforms.
- Strong facilitation and storytelling skills for remote and hybrid audiences.
- Proficiency in data analysis tools (e.g., Excel, Power BI) to measure program impact.
