Learning and Development Partner

We’re looking for a builder, someone who thrives on creating structure and clarity from the ground up. As our Learning & Development Specialist, you will design and deliver scalable learning systems that accelerate onboarding, deepen leadership capability, and strengthen the culture that drives Karbon’s success.

While this is a systems-builder role, we’re also looking for someone who enjoys facilitation and delivery. At its core, this role is about designing frameworks, programs, and rhythms that make learning a business driver, measured by outcomes like productivity, retention, and leadership readiness.

This is a part-time role (approximately 3 days per week)

Design and Deliver Scalable Learning Systems

• Build a unified “Learning at Karbon” framework that connects onboarding, leadership development, and ongoing capability building
• Design programs to improve manager effectiveness and accelerate time to productivity for new hires
• Launch Karbon Manager Core, focused on coaching, feedback, and accountability
• Refresh the Emerging Leaders Program into a globally scalable, blended model with AI-enabled learning experiences

Operationalize Learning Across the Employee Journey

• Own and enhance Karbon’s Onboarding Academy, ensuring consistent, role-specific 30-60-90 day ramps
• Partner with HRBPs and functional leads to identify skill gaps and link learning to business outcomes
• Act as the learning partner to HRBPs, collaborating closely to embed development into team rhythms, talent processes, and key career moments
• Embed learning in the flow of work—searchable, self-serve, and globally accessible

Apply AI to Enhance Learning at Scale

• Use AI tools to personalize learning paths, automate delivery, and scale learning touchpoints across the employee lifecycle
• Experiment with AI-powered content generation and adaptive learning technologies to drive efficiency and engagement
• Stay up to date with L&D innovations in generative AI, and translate emerging capabilities into practical use cases at Karbon

Measure Impact and Enable Scale

• Define clear success metrics tied to productivity, internal mobility, and retention
• Track and report on learning ROI and capability uplift in partnership with Ops and Finance
• Use data and feedback loops to continuously improve program quality and adoption

Champion Culture and Leadership at Scale

• Curate experiences that reinforce Karbon’s values and ways of working
• Equip leaders with the tools, resources, and rituals to drive connection, accountability, and team performance
• Recognize internal facilitators and grow a community of learning champions

Success in this role is:

• Learning at Karbon is a unified identity across all programs within 3 months
• Managers consistently use shared frameworks for feedback, coaching, and development
• Onboarding ramp times are reduced, with measurable productivity improvements
• The Emerging Leaders Program is globally scaled and showing high engagement
• Learning outcomes are linked to retention, internal mobility, and performance metrics
• Everything we do is measurable

• 6+ years of experience in L&D, talent development, or org development, ideally in SaaS or fast-scaling tech
• Data obsessed - knowing how to apply measurements to every part of the learning journey to track success beyond just surveying employees
• Proven track record designing and scaling learning programs such as leadership, onboarding, or capability frameworks
• Strong instructional design and program management skills
• Proficient with modern L&D tools, including LMS/LXP, AI-driven learning platforms, and analytics
• Talent partner, not an order taker driven to make everything you touch better
• Global mindset and ability to design inclusive, relevant learning across regions and cultures
• Commercial, pragmatic approach focused on business outcomes
