Head of Commercial Learning - Wealth Management

Oakleaf are partnering with a leading financial services organisation to hire a Head of Commercial Learning on an initial 9-12 month basis (with a view to going permanent).

This is a high-profile opportunity to join a newly evolving Talent function with strong sponsorship from senior leadership and a genuine mandate for change. The business is investing heavily in modernising its learning capability, commercial effectiveness, and leadership infrastructure following a large-scale integration and wider org transformation.
