Learning and Development Manager

Summary

PLVision builds software for open networking – the infrastructure that moves data between switches, chips, and networks, without locking customers to a single vendor. Continuous development is how we stay good at that. We are hiring a person to make learning deliberate, rather than a collection of courses people sometimes finish.

This is a builder role. The focus is on designing the learning system: onboarding, technical upskilling, leadership development, and the mechanisms that show whether it is working. AI is part of the job as well. It helps a team of one move faster, while also creating opportunities to guide colleagues on its effective use and where human judgment remains essential.

In partnership with HR and department heads, you will define the roadmap and take ownership of delivery. There is no dedicated L&D team to manage. Instead, managers across the organization serve as key partners, supported by a defined budget and a company that already values craftsmanship. What’s needed now is someone who can turn that commitment into a clear and practical learning journey for employees.

Responsibilities Responsibilities

  • Strategy: Build and run an L&D plan tied to business and skills needs – not a catalog of training for its own sake

  • Learning needs: Work with engineering, delivery, and corporate leads to identify where skills are thin, where onboarding is slow, and where managers are asking for help

  • Programs: Design and launch practical paths for onboarding, technical upskilling, leadership, and interpersonal skills. Mix internal experts, on-the-job learning, and external providers. Buy what we should buy; build what we should build

  • Adoption: Make learning actively used, not just assigned. That means managers protecting time, people knowing what “good” looks like, and closing the loop when a program is ignored

  • Vendors and budget: Own the L&D budget: Choose platforms and trainers (for example, Coursera, Udemy, or specialist coaches) based on value, not logos. Retire what does not earn its place

  • Measurement: Agree on a small set of measures with stakeholders: participation, whether skills show up in the work, and a few business-linked indicators. Report on budget and time honestly. We do not expect a financial ROI line on every course

  • AI in learning: Use AI tools to draft, adapt, and organize learning materials, and to spot patterns in skills and participation, verifying the output yourself. Help the company adopt AI in day-to-day work: provide short, practical guidance for engineers and corporate teams, aligned with our security and data rules. Do not treat AI as a course catalog or a substitute for managers teaching their craft

  • Knowledge: Organize what already exists – playbooks, onboarding notes, and internal talks – so people can find and reuse them as we grow

Requirements Requirements

  • 4+ years in learning and development (or talent development with real program ownership), including evidence of building a function from a thin start, preferably in tech or another fast-changing environment

  • Able to run this as a "team of one": plan, facilitate, write, buy, and follow up without a coordinator supporting you

  • Comfortable enough with data to report clearly (spreadsheets and straightforward dashboards are fine), showing that learning changed how people work, not just that they completed a module

  • Able to work with senior stakeholders, including department heads and, when needed, C-level leadership, with the confidence to say no when a request is not the priority

  • Working knowledge of current L&D practices (for example, short-form learning, peer learning, and blended paths) without needing to chase every trend

  • Practical use of AI in your own L&D work (drafting content, research, analysis, or personalization) with strong judgment on when a tool helps versus when it shouldn't be trusted

  • English at a B2 or above (written and spoken) for content creation and working with a multi-country team

Would be a plus Would be a plus

  • Experience in an engineering or product company

  • Fluency in Polish or Ukrainian

  • LMS or learning-operations experience

  • CIPD (typically Level 5 Organizational L&D or Chartered) or ATD CPTD – useful, not required

  • Instructional design or coaching background

  • Experience supporting distributed teams

  • Background in designing or facilitating AI literacy, prompt practice, or responsible-use guidance, especially for engineering or other technical teams
