About the role

Key responsibilities & impact
  • Own the talent development strategy
  • Set a clear framework for how Preply invests in people's growth across levels and functions - and make sure it connects to our business priorities and leverages AI.
  • Define our L&D policies and what "learning impact" looks like at Preply - build the metrics, track them, and use the data to continuously improve.
  • Manage our external L&D budget and vendor relationships, ensuring we get real value from what we spend.
  • Make the work visible - clearly communicate the value, outcomes, and strategic relevance of programs to the broader organization
  • Iterate rapidly based on feedback; ship a v1 in days or weeks, not quarters
  • Own and evolve Leadership Unlocked. Design new programmes that help to build on the existing content and define and track clear success metrics using data to improve our programmes
  • Own leadership onboarding - ensuring new leaders arrive with the context, relationships, and clarity they need to move fast.
  • Own onboarding content and success metrics in close partnership with People Operations, who own the process side.
  • Own Preply's AI enablement learning programmes end to end: strategy, design, rollout, and iteration.
  • Programme-manage the rollout across the company, working across functions to drive adoption and track real behaviour change.
  • Keep pace with how AI is evolving and update programmes accordingly so we stay ahead.
  • Work closely with People Partners to develop a clear point of view on what makes managers effective at Preply and translate that into practical, effective programmes. Bring structure to how Preply develops its managers - we have a foundation, and this person connects the dots, identifies the gaps, and builds on top of it with a clear point of view.
  • Own the manager toolkit: resources that are usable day to day, not just good on paper.
  • Track whether it's working. Manager effectiveness should show up in team health, retention, and performance data - not just post-programme surveys.

Requirements

What you’ll need
  • 8+ years of experience in L&D or talent development, ideally in a high-growth tech or scale-up environment.
  • A proven track record designing and running programmes end to end - from identifying the need to measuring the outcome.
  • Real experience building leadership development programmes for senior audiences, not just facilitation or coordination.
  • Strong grasp of what good onboarding looks like at scale and the ability to design for it.
  • Data-oriented: you define success before you build, and you measure it after - not as an afterthought.
  • Strong stakeholder skills - you're comfortable challenging senior leaders, translating ambiguous needs into sharp design, and holding your ground on what will actually work.
  • Experience with AI literacy or enablement programmes, or a strong appetite to build in this space.
  • Based in Barcelona, with flexibility to travel to other Preply hubs periodically.
