Who You Are

• You're a systems thinker. You look at the big picture, and you see the details and implications up, down and across the organization. Because of this, you notice things that others don’t, so you’re able to architect programs and change plans that involve all the right people, incorporate all the right elements (not just the learning), and deliver high-impact results.

• You're a problem solver . You enjoy investigating complex problems, making sense of information to find effective solutions, and applying creativity within the situational constraints.

• You can demonstrate experience in designing impactful learning solutions. You apply sound instructional/information design principles to multimedia assets and e-learning, instructor-led, and self-guided training materials. It is an asset if you possess post-secondary education in Adult Education or Instructional Design.

• You're motivated by collective success. You know that collaboration can transform a good idea into a great one. You understand the power of an inclusive team that enjoys working together to bring a shared vision to life, and you leverage your leadership role to mentor, coach, and bring out the best in others.

• You're equally at home in a high-stakes conversation, a presentation to senior leadership, or at the front of a classroom. You know that leadership is more than academic concepts and frameworks. It is a living, dynamic exchange which you relish contributing to, and which gives you energy and insight.

• You have curiosity, passion and your own point of view, when it comes to the subject of leadership development. You are familiar with major works on the subject, and your email inbox and podcast and LinkedIn feeds bring you new leadership insights and ideas each day. You’re happy to work with a subject matter expert on a new leadership program – but you certainly don’t need one.

• Values matter to you . You bring your real self to work and you live our values - trust, teamwork, and accountability .
