You will lead initiatives focused on onboarding new recruits, upskilling current brokers, executing new initiatives, and facilitating successful change across the organization, ensuring alignment with corporate goals and objectives. As a senior member of the L&D team, you will also mentor and guide junior team members, contribute to the formulation of L&D strategies, and spearhead initiatives aimed at continuously enhancing learning practices throughout the organization.
