About the Role
In a world where skills evolve faster than job titles, learning is the engine that drives growth, resilience, and innovation. We are seeking a transformative Vice President of Learning and Development (L&D) to architect a global learning ecosystem that empowers our people to thrive — today, tomorrow, and beyond.

The VP will be the strategic bridge between people and performance, shaping the learning architecture that fuels innovation across every level of the enterprise.
