L&D Consultant (Career Pathways)

L&D Consultant (Career Pathways Lead)

We're supporting a major organisation on a high-profile transformation initiative focused on bringing career architecture to life through meaningful and engaging career pathways.

This is a unique opportunity for an experienced specialist who has successfully implemented career pathways in practice.

You'll play a key role in translating existing job architecture into clear, accessible progression routes that help employees navigate and grow their careers, including technical pathways that don't require movement into people management.

What you'll be doing

• Designing and implementing end-to-end career pathways aligned to an established job architecture
• Creating structured technical and engineering progression routes
• Translating frameworks into practical, user-friendly tools and experiences
• Partnering with senior HR leaders, L&D, organisational design specialists, and business stakeholders
• Bringing external best practice, implementation insight, and lessons learned
• Advising on enabling technologies, communication approaches, and employee-facing tools
• Acting as a trusted SME, influencing senior stakeholders with credibility and gravitas

What we're looking for

• Proven experience implementing career pathways within complex organisations
• Strong understanding of job architecture and organisational design principles
• Experience designing technical or engineering career frameworks
• Background in L&D, organisational design, HR business partnering, reward, or related disciplines
• Ability to operate as a standalone expert within a complex stakeholder environment
• Strong communication and stakeholder engagement skills
• Confidence to challenge constructively and drive adoption

Desirable experience

• Exposure to tools such as OrgVue or similar organisational design platforms
• Familiarity with Workday or comparable HR systems
• Experience within large-scale, matrixed organisations
• Knowledge of digital or employee-facing career Pathway platforms

This is an excellent opportunity to shape a visible, strategically important piece of work that will directly influence employee development and organisational capability.

If you've successfully implemented career pathways and can bring practical expertise, we'd love to hear from you.
