Learning Consultant

The Opportunity

The Learning Consultant is a key partner in ensuring that learning and development initiatives across the organization are aligned with business goals, effectively addressing performance gaps, and deployed at the right time. This role requires a unique ability to begin with a “yes” mindset (open to exploring the possibility of training as a solution) while rigorously evaluating if it is indeed the best course of action. The consultant must determine when training is the right answer and when alternative strategies (such as process improvements or resource optimization) are more suitable, ensuring the organization’s efforts are laser-focused on impactful solutions.

This strategic role is essential in ensuring the learning and development resources are optimized to meet the most critical business challenges. By maintaining a laser focus on identifying the right solutions, whether training or otherwise, the consultant directly impacts employee performance, operational efficiency, and long-term business success. This role elevates the quality of performance solutions and enhances decision-making across the organization.
