About our role
We have an exciting opportunity for an experienced Learning & Development Lead on a 6-month max-term contract to design Nova's technical competency framework.

In addition, you will also continue the implementation of the L&D operating model, enabling the business to develop quality training.
This is a hands‐on role for someone who can quickly build trust with stakeholders and turn complex technical capability requirements into something clear, practical and usable. The framework will provide a foundation for how technical capability is developed across the organisation and support learning, career development and future workforce planning.

* Providing clear recommendations for how the framework should be implemented across the employee lifecycle.
* Embedding the L&D governance framework for technical training to support content quality, consistency and a strong learner experience.
* Partnering with leaders to identify capability gaps and prioritise targeted learning solutions aligned to business strategy and workforce plans.
* Supporting enterprise‐wide delivery standards, evaluation and continuous improvement through training data, feedback and structured review cycles.
What we would like from you
* Proven experience developing technical competency frameworks.
* Strong consulting and facilitation skills where you can quickly understand stakeholder needs, translate them into fit‐for‐purpose outcomes, and influence with credibility.
* Demonstrated ability to set up practical governance for learning content and programs, balancing quality, consistency and pace.
* Comfortable working in a project‐based role at pace, pragmatic, organised and outcomes‐focused, with a bias to action.
* Experience with LMS administration/optimisation and using data and feedback to drive continuous improvement.
