This brief is aimed at an experienced Capability Building Specialist with real depth in Learning & Development and the ability to support client-facing delivery linked to Shanghai.

Brief Overview

We are building our pool of trusted specialist trainers for Learning & Development assignments across Asia. The role would suit a practitioner who can tailor content to client context, learner level, and business objectives while helping clients develop people capability, talent practices, and manager effectiveness.

The work is likely to involve practical corporate learning, facilitation, and knowledge transfer rather than purely theoretical instruction. We are prioritising trainers who can keep sessions structured, commercially relevant, and aligned with the client brief.

Core Responsibilities

• Refine materials where needed so the programme remains current, usable, and appropriate for the target audience.
• Adapt delivery to the client brief, participant seniority, and the sector context without losing clarity or pace.
• 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 Learning & Development content easier to apply after the session.
• Facilitate discussion, questions, and applied exercises in a way that keeps learning commercially relevant and outcome-focused.

Candidate Background

• Proven subject-matter credibility in Learning & Development with evidence of practical business or corporate application.
• Availability for project-based work linked to Shanghai, China, and wider Asia where relevant.
• Good judgement around pacing, audience engagement, and the balance between technical depth and usability.
• Comfort operating in Remote / Virtual settings and handling the logistical realities of live corporate delivery.
• A professional background that supports credibility with enterprise, multinational, or client-facing training audiences.

Hands-on credibility in Learning & Development; experience facilitating learning for business teams; strong consulting judgment, facilitation skill, and the ability to connect people topics to business outcomes; able to adapt delivery style, examples, and exercises to different participant groups.

A good fit for independent trainers, consultants, or internal capability specialists whose background includes HR, talent management, leadership development, learning and development, or organisation development in corporate or enterprise environments.

Expression of Interest

The expected delivery mode for this brief is Remote / Virtual, and the role should be approached as a One-Off Assignment requirement.

Professionals with relevant Learning & Development capability are invited to share their background, availability, and examples of previous delivery in comparable corporate settings.
