OSD Learning Partner - Wellington, Permanent Full Time

Te Haeata/The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to shape how OSD Learning and Development partners with the business, influences capability priorities, and helps leaders address performance challenges across a large and complex operational environment. Working in partnership with leaders, the OSD Learning Partner will understand operational priorities, diagnose capability and performance needs, and identify fit-for-purpose solutions that support improved business outcomes.

Rather than responding only to training requests, the OSD Learning Partner will take a consultative approach — asking the right questions, testing assumptions, using evidence and insights, and working with leaders to determine whether learning, performance support, change management, or another solution is required.

The role acts as the key connection point between OSD business groups and specialist OSD Learning and Development team. It brings business insight into L&D; planning and ensures learning and capability initiatives are targeted, prioritised, measurable, and aligned to OSD's strategic and operational goals.

The role also leads outward communication for OSD Learning and Development, helping to promote the team's services, priorities, initiatives, and impact across OSD. This includes developing clear, engaging communication that builds awareness, supports uptake, and helps leaders and kaimahi understand how OSD L&D; can support their capability and performance needs.

You will help shape how OSD L&D; communicates with the business, ensuring our work is visible, relevant, and connected to operational priorities.





OSD Learning Partner is a member of the OSD Learning and Development leadership team.
