Affirm is reinventing credit to make it more honest and friendly, giving consumers the flexibility to buy now and pay later without any hidden fees or compounding interest.
We’re looking for a passionate innovator to lead our Leadership Development practice and take our strategy to the next level. In this highly dynamic and visible role you’ll be equal parts program manager, learning experience designer, facilitator, and coach as you focus on elevating leadership capabilities for all people leaders at Affirm. Collaboration is your middle name; however, you’re still able to roll up your sleeves and be an independent self-starter when needed. It’s on us! You are excited to evolve leadership development experiences for Affimers in a remote first work environment, and are eager to create a “beyond best practice” leadership development strategy. No fine print here. If you're as excited as we are, please READ ON!
What You’ll Do
- Lead and evolve our Leadership Development practice to ensure we’re providing “the right learning at the right time” for our different levels of leadership, elevating capabilities that drive high performance teams.
- You will be the driving force, in partnership with the Director of Learning + Development, in crafting a leadership development strategy for new and experienced managers and leaders, in addition to broad-stroke learning programming for all employees.
- Evolve our manager development programming in our remote first environment, recognizing people come first. You’ll analyze the current program scope and design, perform an ongoing needs assessment to help guide the evolution, and be the lead curriculum designer and facilitator.
- Partner cross-functionally across the People Team, and ultimately the entire organization to drive future programming and learning opportunities. This includes collaborating with subject matter experts across Affirm in crafting new content and curriculum. You’ll facilitate and/or co-facilitate instructor-led training when appropriate.
- Write communications, plans, and draft other internal content related to leader learning.
- Define, measure, and communicate out leadership development success metrics.
What We Look For
- You've designed and delivered Leadership Development experiences and programs that support a growing global workforce for 2000+ employees.
- You’ve leveraged learning technologies (including but not limited to a Learning Management System and/or Learning Experience Platform) to help it all scale.
- 8+ years of experience highlighting a combination of leadership development program design and management, experience design and facilitation.
- You’ve developed and delivered curriculum and learning programs from scratch, have partnered with subject matter specialists to do the same, and coached team members on developing those very same skills.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a data-driven and evidence-based approach to decision-making and influencing.
- Ideally, you have a coaching certification from ICF, or another accredited organization.
- A track record of program development that delivers business impact and positive ROI for the organization.
- Strong relationship-building skills to work collaboratively with partners across the organization.
- Excellent communication skills, with an appetite for distilling sophisticated information to what matters most. Simpler is better.
- A “how can we make this better?” mentality. You recognize that “perfect” is not an end state, and continually drive for improvement.
