Join a growing momentum-building team as investment in People Development programs ramps up at Rapid7! You want in? We want you! 

The Senior Learning and Development Specialist will partner with People Development and the broader People Strategy team to create and scale learning and training programs for all employees at Rapid7, with a focus on new hires.

Priority #1: you are passionate about continuous learning—from soup to nuts—and the idea of creating scalable learning opportunities for our employees is what gets you out of bed in the morning.

Priority #2: you’re excited to tackle learning from entirely new perspectives with a highly motivated, high impact team. If we fail, we fail fast, and try again! As employee learning needs change, our programs must too. You thrive in this fast-paced change-oriented environment. You’re not afraid to tackle tasks independently; however, “collaboration” is your middle name.

SCOPE AND RESPONSIBILITIES INCLUDE…

• Partner with the People Development team as you create/manage/own a new hire onboarding experience including all associated training and learning programs.
• Author curriculum for new hire learning programs.
• Co-train in conjunction with internal subject matter experts.
• Lead live instructor-led trainings—for both new hires, and the greater employee population (soft skills focus).
• Create and manage learning programs, including all stages of program design and delivery.
• Consult with department leaders and managers to help design functional enablement.
• Utilize Rapid7’s learning management system to manage program logistics when necessary and appropriate.
• Research, initiate, and manage third-party vendor relationships.

QUALIFICATIONS

The right individual will bring previous learning program management, curriculum design, and ILT skill sets to the table. In fact, you’re pretty awesome at all three. You love to look at learning program design with a new lens, and you have a desire to scale our new hire program in the years ahead. You embrace the opportunity to try new learning technologies, and last, but not least, you understand why employee “learning modalities” are significant in this role. The role will require occasional travel.

Additional qualifications include:

• Master’s degree preferred; Bachelor’s degree required.
• 5+ years of program management experience, including 2+ years of curriculum development and ILT facilitation/teaching.
• Passion for continuous learning and best practices in the field.
• Guru of organization and time management.
• Strong attention to detail, written and oral communication skills.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced environment, independently when necessary; however, collaborate when appropriate.
• Previous LMS experience helpful, but not required.
• Proficient with MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook.
