Pinnacle Group are looking for an experienced and engaging Talent Development Partner to help shape and deliver learning across our organisation. This is an exciting opportunity to join our People function, working within the Talent team to drive capability through high-quality training, engaging content, and impactful development programmes. This is a hybrid role and can be based anywhere in the UK but frequent and regular travel to our London Head Office and other sites across the UK is expected. The role is paying £45k per annum with a £5k car allowance.

We are seeking a hands-on learning professional with a strong background in delivering training and creating content, ideally within a multi-site environment. You will be confident facilitating both face-to-face and virtual sessions, with the ability to engage audiences at all levels and bring learning to life in a practical and meaningful way. With strong experience in developing learning materials from scratch, you will be equally comfortable in front of a room as you are designing content behind the scenes.

You will play a key role in delivering and embedding our Management Development Programme, building core leadership capability across frontline managers. Alongside this, you will own and deliver our induction and onboarding experience, ensuring every new starter has a consistent, engaging introduction to the organisation. Working closely with stakeholders across the business, you will identify development needs and translate them into practical, high-impact learning solutions.

This is an excellent opportunity for a proactive and creative L&D professional who thrives in a fast-paced environment, enjoys being close to the delivery of learning, and is motivated by making a tangible impact on colleague development and organisational capability.
