About the Role

~1 min read

We're hiring a Capability Architect to embed inside client organizations and run a complete capability-development cycle: define the skill gap, build a targeted solution, support practice in the flow of work, and measure the result with a number a CFO would sign off on. You won't hand off a deck and walk away. You'll own the outcome.

This is a solo-practitioner role to start. You'll run your first engagement independently, then help train the practitioners who join after you.

Responsibilities

~1 min read

→
Embed with a client team and diagnose real performance problems, not just training requests
→
Run capability-gap analyses and translate business problems into measurable proficiency targets
→
Own the full cycle: baseline, build, practice, measure, adapt
→
Design learning interventions (programs, job aids, workflow tools), using AI tools to move faster
→
Work alongside the client's existing L&D team as a partner, and leave it stronger than you found it
→
Build credibility with director-level business stakeholders, not just L&D contacts

→
At least one full cycle of taking a performance problem from analysis to a measured outcome, without a large team behind you

→
Comfort being judged by a number, not a survey score
→
Credibility with director-level (or above) business stakeholders
→
Strong needs-analysis instincts: the ability to turn a vague complaint into a measurable target
→
Working knowledge of, or the ability to quickly build fluency in, one industry vertical (for example: pharmaceuticals and life sciences, banking and financial services, energy, manufacturing, or technology)
→
Comfort using AI tools to accelerate your work, and the judgment to know when to override them
→
Bachelor's degree in a related field, or equivalent practical experience

If you've spent your career proving your work moved a number, and you'd rather build something than maintain it, we want to hear from you.
