Learning and Development (L&D) Partner

Two simple questions:

• Do you know how to support new managers to become confident and capable leaders?
• Can you build and deliver a leadership learning and development programme which engages the audience?

If you have answered ‘yes’ to both of these questions, read on my friend!

Rebellion is a leading developer and publisher of games, and is also one of Europe’s biggest independent studios operating across books, comics, TV and film. Our Sniper Elite series is renowned for its authentic stealth and sniping gameplay with more than 35 million players worldwide. The Zombie Army franchise is a spine-chilling zombie shooter, and the soon-to-be released Evil Genius 2 is a satirical spy-fi lair builder where YOU are the criminal mastermind!

And those are just the projects you know about – there are loads more!

We are looking for someone like you to become our all-new L&D Partner and join our passionate and talented People team, where we are building on the years of success that Rebellion has enjoyed.

• Coach and support the execution of our diversity and inclusion strategy across Rebellion and within the leadership team.
• Own the overall development programme and think how internal learning can be best leveraged to reach personal and team development goals.

We are actively recruiting for a diverse team and continue to develop a culture of growth and inclusion. Rebellion encourages innovation in all areas and we look forward to hearing how you can help us to be better. We would like to invite all demographics of culture, gender, ethnicity, neuro-diversity and beyond because we believe a representative team makes better games and provides a better working life.
