  • The chance to work with a hyper growth company in the white-hot IT security sector where employees are empowered to take their career to the next level? Check.

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 & 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 managers. In short, you will be a driving force for manager training programs (for both new and tenured managers alike), and you will partner with those same managers to design learning programs, with available resources, for their respective teams—think “soft skills” and “functional enablement design.”

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 People Strategy and the Director of the People Development team as you manage a learning experience to set Rapid7 managers up for success.
  • Author curriculum for manager and employee learning programs.
  • Co-train in conjunction with internal senior leaders.
  • Lead live instructor-led trainings for managers,
  • Lead live instructor-led trainings for the greater employee population (soft skills focus).
  • Consult with managers and department leaders as we increase accountability for learning programs on individual teams including individual development planning.
  • Create and manage learning programs (from end to end), including all stages of program/curriculum design and delivery.
  • 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.
  • 4+ 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—both independently and collaboratively.
  • Previous LMS experience helpful, but not required.
  • Proficient with MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint.

An Insider's view of Rapid7

What does your typical day look like?

For the majority of the day it’s a mix of weekly check-ins with various teams, project updates, and the occasional brainstorm.

When I’m not in meetings I’ve got headphones in while planning, writing, or designing — at my desk or perched somewhere around the office.

How has your career grown since starting at the company?

Ive been on many teams in my time at Rapid7 and they have certainly “grown” from a size perspective, but more importantly, they all evolved with the changing times and needs. Some of the teams I was on were critical for our sales grown in an emerging market and though they no longer exist by name, I can see the tangible impact we made.
