Design and lead leadership and manager development programs, including cohort-based formats and flagship virtual and in-person programs, in alignment with Spaulding Ridge’s competency framework.

Set instructional design standards using adult learning, instructional design, and behavior-change principles, and review curricula, facilitator guides, participant materials, eLearning, job aids, assessments, and surveys against them.

Oversee program execution, including project plans, stakeholder alignment, communications, facilitators, and post-program reinforcement, while maintaining a consistent learner experience.

Define success metrics for programs (participation, completion, learner feedback, knowledge application, business impact) and use data and business feedback to continuously improve programs.

Prepare business cases and budget recommendations for learning investments and manage external providers.
Serve as the primary administrator and program owner for the learning management system, including course configuration, assignments, enrollment rules, enrollment management, technology, reporting, user support, data integrity, content governance, review cycles, and archiving.
