L&D Manager - Technical Development & Engineering Capability

3 yr Fixed-Term Contract | Technology & Learning Are you an experienced software engineering or technical leader who enjoys helping others develop their technical capability?

We’re looking for a L&D Manager (Technical Development & Engineering Capability) to join a large enterprise organisation and lead the technical uplift of learning programs across its technology workforce.

Sitting within the Learning & Development team, this isn’t a traditional L&D role. We’re looking for someone who brings genuine technical credibility, understands how modern engineering teams operate and can translate that knowledge into practical, relevant learning experiences.

The role

You’ll act as the technical expert within the team, working closely with engineering leaders, SMEs and senior technology stakeholders to understand capability gaps and ensure the organisation’s technical curriculum keeps pace with its evolving technology environment.

You’ll have two direct reports responsible for facilitating training programs, while you’ll provide the technical leadership, curriculum direction and expertise behind what is being delivered.

Your responsibilities will include: Leading the technical uplift of engineering learning programs and curricula

Identifying technical capability and skills gaps across engineering teams

Partnering with engineering leaders and SMEs to understand current and future capability requirements

Developing practical technical learning assets, including coding exercises, assessments, simulations and certification pathways

Ensuring learning programs reflect modern engineering practices including Cloud, DevOps, CI/CD and Agile

Advising on technical learning frameworks, pathways and capability strategies

Managing and mentoring two training facilitators

Working with senior stakeholders to align capability initiatives with broader technology priorities

Overseeing the quality and effectiveness of technical learning programs

Using learner feedback, data and analytics to continuously improve programs

Supporting the optimisation of learning platforms and technology What we’re looking for

The key to this role is technical credibility.

You’ll ideally come from a software development, engineering or similarly technical background and have a strong understanding of how engineering teams operate within complex organisations.

We’re looking for: A strong background in software development or engineering

Hands-on coding knowledge and the ability to develop technical learning exercises and assessments

Strong understanding of Cloud, DevOps, CI/CD, Agile and modern software engineering practices

Experience within complex enterprise technology environments

Exposure to technical training, engineering enablement, capability development or technical learning programs

Strong stakeholder management and consulting skills

Confidence engaging with senior engineering and technology leaders

Experience managing programs or large-scale capability initiatives

Ideally, a technical certification across AWS, Microsoft Azure or Google Cloud

Exposure to LMS platforms, learning technologies or authoring tools would be advantageous Why this role?

This is a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys technology but is also passionate about developing people and lifting engineering capability.

You’ll have the opportunity to influence how a large technology workforce develops its engineering skills, combining your technical background with leadership, stakeholder engagement and capability development.

If you’ve spent your career in technology and are interested in applying that expertise in a different way, we’d love to hear from you.
