Title and Summary

Learning and Development Senior Analyst (Leadership Academy)

We are seeking a Senior Analyst to strengthen how our Leadership Development learning and development offerings are brought to market internally. This role builds and runs the execution engine behind learning launches — ensuring programs are clearly positioned, easy to access, well supported operationally, and continuously refined through data and learner insight. Sitting at the intersection of audience intelligence, platform execution, and performance measurement, this role helps translate strong learning design into real adoption and sustained impact.


Role & Responsibilities

1. Learning Product Health, Analytics and Audience Intelligence

Own the data and insights that signal whether Academy programs are landing, scaling, and delivering intended value.

Analyze trends, surface risks, and deliver decision‑oriented insights based on pre-defined program health indicators (reach, adoption, completion patterns, drop‑off, saturation)—not passive or backward‑looking reporting.

Flag underperformance against pre-defined enrollment and engagement targets and partner with Program Managers on corrective actions before issues impact learners.

Partner with the Manager of L&D Infrastructure, Directors, and Program Managers to build self‑service reporting that reduces manual effort and improves visibility across L&D.

Evaluate adding new metrics and refine existing ones in partnership with the Manager of L&D Infrastructure, Directors, and Program Managers to strengthen the Academy’s strategic learning approach.

Maintain a data-driven view of the learner population by role, job family, geography, and access patterns to identify underreached or disengaged audiences, inform targeting strategies, and recommend practical actions to close gaps across Academy initiatives.

3. Learning Go‑to‑Market Execution

Operationalize how learning offerings are positioned and launched inside the enterprise.

Partner with Program Managers and Learning Designers to shape go‑to‑market plans for new and refreshed programs — including audience targeting, channel mix, timing, and sequencing, ensuring deployment and delivery strategies are aligned to Learning Experience standards and best practices.

Own execution of learner‑facing communications and outreach, ensuring offerings are findable, relevant, and clearly positioned in line with communications pre-defined and configured standards.

Develop and maintain a Learning Experience Go-To-Market (GTM) documentation repository that captures launch approaches, results, and lessons learned—building institutional knowledge over time and enables standardization.

Track post‑launch performance against GTM SLAs and KPIs and feed learnings back into future planning and design decisions.

4. Platform, Logistics & Operational Excellence

Ensure high‑quality execution across systems, scheduling, and delivery operations.

Own program setup, configuration, and maintenance in Learning Management Systems and related delivery platforms, ensuring technical execution aligns with design intent and proactively flagging misalignment or delivery risk.

Manage vendor coordination, scheduling, and operational logistics that support consistent, reliable delivery.

Monitor operational health in real time and resolve issues before they impact learners.

All About You

3+ years of experience across L&D operations, program delivery, and analytics; experience with learning delivery planning, internal communications, product operations, or platform rollouts is a plus.

Strong analytics fluency—comfortable interpreting and navigating Tableau or Power BI dashboards to inform recommendations and decisions.

Hands‑on experience with enterprise learning platforms; a product‑ and systems‑oriented thinker who understands how configuration, communications, timing, and data interact—and where execution breaks when they don’t. Cornerstone LMS strongly preferred.

Comfortable operating with ambiguity and pace; you proactively define what should be measured and improved.

Clear communicator who can translate data and operational complexity into plain‑language insights and actions.

You enable Program Managers and Learning Designers driving cross‑functional alignment and decisions in a matrixed organization, through cross-collaboration, identifying potential risks and translating ideas into actions.
