We’re looking for a Talent Development Manager to join our Shared Services Area.

When you come work with us, here’s what you’ll find:

Work that is meaningful. We are a fast-paced, deadline-driven consulting firm that only works with nonprofit clients who are essential to advancing the cause of justice, alleviating suffering, and solving the greatest challenges we face.
Commitment to Anti-Racism, Equity, and Inclusion (AEI). We envision an anti-oppressive workplace that ensures an inclusive employee experience, promotes equitable outcomes for staff, and supports clients to center accessibility and anti-racism in their programs.
Colleagues you can count on. Kind, dedicated, passionate people who work collaboratively to get things done and help you do your best.
An organization that embraces change. We strive to improve and adapt and always seek new ways that we can contribute to a just, inclusive, and sustainable world. We are also continually working on making M+R a better place for our staff.

So that’s us. Now about the work:

The Talent Development Manager is part of our Shared Services Area -- composed of five specializations: finance, operations, people, marketing, and AEI. We ensure M+R is positioned to deliver outstanding services to clients such as Planned Parenthood, Feeding America, International Rescue Committee, NRDC, and many more
Day-to-day, we focus on policies and procedures, benefits administration, human resources, and hiring, developing, and retaining competent, dedicated staff. We help cultivate high-functioning teams at M+R so that we work collaboratively, efficiently, and effectively, and we help foster a strong organizational culture that reflects and furthers M+R’s values.

Here’s what you’ll be doing in this role:

Support M+R’s People Team and our talent development work, ensuring that our Learning and Development systems and structures effectively support our staff.
Design and deliver trainings and facilitation sessions, as well as create frameworks and guidance for staff-led training that align with M+R’s best practices.
Manage learning and development evaluation processes, iterating content and systems based on staff feedback.
Own the learning and development team’s knowledge management resources, ensuring materials are organized, accessible to relevant parties, and up-to-date.
Support the implementation and firmwide adoption of a new Learning Management System (Trakstar).
Manage M+R’s Professional Development stipend program, helping to innovate the program to effectively support our staff’s development goals.
Guide and support supervisors on producing high-quality performance reviews for their supervisees -- providing training and reviewing content.
Support the People team with the onboarding of new hires.
Participate in other M+R People work as needed related to performance management, organizational culture, or vendor management.
Do your part to help us run smoothly, including carefully tracking all of your hours.

Skills and experiences required for this role:

2-4 years of experience in training design and delivery.
Experience supporting a learning and development program that trains a wide variety of audiences and learning styles -- including managing systems, content, and training schedules.
Demonstrated ability to compile and synthesize qualitative and quantitative data to make recommendations for content and/or process improvements.
Demonstrated ability to present training content that is clear, accessible, and engages the audience.
Demonstrated ability to run meetings to identify project goals and ensure successful outcomes.

Demonstrated commitment to anti-racism, equity, and inclusion.
Demonstrated ability to work collaboratively to gain trust and give respect to others through honesty, integrity, kindness, empathy, and authenticity.
Acute attention to detail and demonstrated ability to prioritize time to meet deadlines for multiple projects.
Proven track record to successfully pick up new skills, including learning new technologies.
Drive to seek what can be improved and offer ways to fix any potential roadblocks.
Comfort admitting what you don’t know and recognizing that feedback is part of the learning process.

Experience directly managing and developing staff.

We also offer a generous benefits package:

Three weeks vacation, three personal days, and 15 paid sick days;
