Key Focus Area: Learning - EL Academy Global Alignment
Learning is the central pillar of this role. The Talent Learning Partner is the key owner and driver of learning for the Electrification Business Area, accountable for the full learning value chain: from strategy and governance to data, content, and deployment. The five interconnected learning priorities below define the core of this position:
1. EL Academy
Own and continuously evolve the EL Academy as the central learning platform for the Electrification Business Area. Maintain and improve the EL Common Learning Catalogue, ensuring it is clean, relevant, and actively used by the business. Engage and partner with Community Leaders and Functional Leaders to co-own catalogue quality, driving regular reviews and updates. Develop and implement clear ownership principles so the Academy remains a trusted,
high-value learning destination for all EL employees globally.
2. Learning Governance
Define, implement, and continuously improve learning governance frameworks for EL, including policies, standards, and processes that ensure consistency and quality across all business units and divisions. Lead the Learning Community of Practice (CoP) across EL, establishing a regular global rhythm (quarterly cadence), shared resources, and active participation from key Learning Partners. Drive catalogue governance so that decisions on learning content - what stays, what evolves, what is decommissioned - are made in a structured, transparent, and scalable way.
3. Learning Data Reporting
Build and maintain robust learning data pipelines and dashboards for EL, ensuring accuracy and consistency across inventories, catalogues, and reporting tools. Serve as the go-to expert for EL learning data, enabling HRBPs and Community Leaders to make evidence-based decisions. Continuously improve reporting quality, reducing discrepancies quarter over quarter and building trust in data as a management tool. Develop data literacy across the EL learning community.
4. Learning Development Deployment
Design and deploy learning solutions that address EL-specific capability gaps - from leadership and functional skills to onboarding and transformation programmes. Apply modern instructional design methodologies and leverage digital tools and LMS platforms to ensure scalable, user-centric solutions. Drive the development of key learning operations deliverables (Playbooks, CoP outputs, LMS configurations, reporting improvements) that reduce complexity and elevate the stakeholder experience. Evaluate learning effectiveness using data and iterate on solutions to maximise impact.
5. Collaboration with ABB Global Learning Organization
Act as the primary liaison between the Electrification Business Area and ABB's Global Learning Organization, ensuring EL learning priorities are aligned with Group strategy, standards, and platforms. Translate Group-level directives into locally actionable solutions and represent EL's needs and insights back to the global community. Foster a team-oriented, trusted-advisor relationship across HRBPs, Functions, Divisions, and Group-level teams to accelerate learning initiatives and avoid duplication of effort.
