You'll have an excellent track record in achieving organisational objectives through learning and development and come from a background in FMCG. Working knowledge of the Life Styles Inventory (LSI) Tool would be highly regarded.
As this role is multifaceted, it would be beneficial to have L&D experience working across a variety of business areas and levels (manufacturing, distribution and office staff).
