Client demand in First-Time Manager continues to develop, and we are adding capable Training Programme Manager profiles for work tied to Manila and regional corporate teams.

Role Overview

An upcoming client brief requires a capable training programme manager who can lead First-Time Manager learning engagements for people managers, supervisors, and team leads across Asia. Success in the role depends on practical facilitation, business relevance, and the ability to help clients build stronger people managers and more effective team leadership.

The role is intended for trainers who can move comfortably between subject expertise, stakeholder discussion, and practical learner application. Sessions should remain relevant to real workplace use rather than abstract theory.

Delivery is expected to take place in a Hybrid format, with the engagement currently framed as Multi-Session Programme support.

What You Will Support

• Keep the learning intervention aligned with business priorities, not just topic coverage, so the work delivers visible value to the client.
• Use practical case studies, scenarios, tools, or workflows to make First-Time Manager content easier to apply after the session.
• Facilitate discussion, questions, and applied exercises in a way that keeps learning commercially relevant and outcome-focused.
• Deliver structured First-Time Manager training sessions for client teams linked to Manila and wider Asia.
• Maintain strong session control, learner engagement, and professional delivery standards across preparation and live facilitation.
• Coordinate effectively with client stakeholders and internal contacts on objectives, timelines, and expected learner outcomes.

What We Are Looking For

Relevant practitioner-level experience in First-Time Manager; strong facilitation and stakeholder communication; credible management experience, facilitation maturity, and strong behavioural coaching capability; able to structure sessions that balance concept, discussion, and application.

Preferred candidates will bring exposure to people management, manager capability, team leadership, or change leadership, along with experience working with managers, professional learners, or client-facing business teams.

• Proven subject-matter credibility in First-Time Manager with evidence of practical business or corporate application.
• Availability for project-based work linked to Manila, Philippines, and wider Asia where relevant.
• Good judgement around pacing, audience engagement, and the balance between technical depth and usability.
