Learning & Development Partner (Sales & Marketing)

About You

We are looking for a dynamic and commercially aware Learning & Development Partner who can elevate capability across our Sales & Marketing function - driving performance through impactful, engaging and insight-led learning.

You bring strong experience designing and delivering sales training programmes, with a clear understanding of what drives performance in a fast-paced, target-driven environment. You know how to translate business goals into practical, high-impact learning interventions that genuinely improve capability and results.

You are confident working across a blended learning approach, creating and delivering everything from face-to-face workshops to digital and eLearning content. Whether it is technical sales skills, behavioural capability or soft skills development, you create content that lands, engages and sticks.

A key part of your toolkit is your experience with Salesforce CRM. You understand how it supports the sales journey and can train others to use it effectively, improving adoption, capability and ultimately performance. You are comfortable using data and insights from systems like Salesforce to shape learning needs and measure impact.

You are equally comfortable working at both a strategic and operational level - partnering with senior stakeholders to identify capability gaps, while also rolling up your sleeves to design and deliver solutions.

With strong communication and influencing skills, you quickly build credibility with stakeholders across Sales, Marketing and the wider business. You are passionate about developing people, embedding learning into day-to-day activity, and creating a culture where continuous improvement is the norm.

This role will involve travel to sites and offices across the business, so flexibility and willingness to travel are essential.
