About the role:
Health Monitor Network (HMN) is building its People Practice supporting the company's next stage of growth.

- Phase 3: Launch and handoff
- Run pilot sessions, gather feedback, and refine the programs.
- Train HMN facilitators and managers to deliver the content going forward.
- Hand over all materials, facilitator guides, and a measurement framework the People Team can maintain.
- What you bring 8+ years in learning and development, including leading assessments and building programs from scratch.

- A bachelor's degree is required. An advanced degree in organizational development, instructional design, or a related field, and ATD's CPTD, are preferred.
- Healthcare, media, or field service experience, or work in PE-backed companies, is a plus.
- How we'll measure success
- Needs assessment delivered on time and approved by the ELT.Programs piloted on schedule, including a sales-readiness piece for the January Sales Kick-Off.
