The opportunity

The Supervising Associate is responsible for leading the successful delivery and continuous improvement of learning programs across a complex portfolio of stakeholders, priorities, and workstreams. This role plans, coordinates, and advances learning initiatives that align with business objectives, deliver measurable results, and create impactful learner experiences.

Acting as both a program leader and trusted advisor, the Supervising Associate translates evolving business needs into structured, scalable, and outcome-focused learning solutions. The role requires strong judgment, stakeholder management, and execution excellence, while driving consistency, efficiency, and continuous improvement across the learning portfolio through the use of frameworks, data-driven insights, and best practices.

This role is ideal for someone who is highly organized, proactive, and comfortable managing complexity. You know how to keep work moving across multiple stakeholders, communicate clearly with leaders, and bring sound judgment to ambiguous situations. You are equally comfortable rolling up your sleeves in delivery and stepping back to improve how work gets done across the team.
