Role Summary
We’re looking for a strategic and practical Team Lead, Learning Design to help us build a world-class, remote-first learning function at Deel.

You’ll need to thrive in fast-moving, sometimes scrappy environments where the pace is high and ambiguity is part of the challenge. You’ll bring strong consultancy instincts, working closely with internal stakeholders (including the people team, internal communications, and directly with business leaders) to translate their needs into creative, effective solutions.
And you’ll play a key role in levelling up our learning design infrastructure – laying the foundations for a true Design Centre of Excellence (CoE) within the People team – and supporting our overall people experience and engagement goals.

Build systems, templates, and standards to support the development of a scalable, quality-focused design CoE.
Manage weekly design sprint planning, and accountability for quality delivery of agreed outputs for each sprint. You’ll know which blockers to escalate, and which to manage first-hand.

Work closely with facilitators, SMEs, and other internal partners to ensure learning solutions are tightly tailored to business needs, land well and make the right impact.
Bring people along with you – communicating frequently, clearly and confidently in a remote-first, high-demand, fast-paced environment.
