We’d love to talk to you if you:

• You’ve spent time in Consultancy or Tech and understand the unique speed and challenges of these industries.
• You’re an LMS power user who views learning technology as an enabler, not a hurdle.
• You have experience of project management and running large learning programmes.
• Can sit down with a busy senior leader and turn an "I want training" request into something impactful.
• Experience building processes in practice and iterating on them as you go.
• Got some subject matter expertise to share from coaching to leadership to management.

We offer flexible working, including hybrid and remote options. Our office hubs are located in Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester, London and Bulgaria, with occasional travel to client sites or CreateFuture offices when needed.

We trust you to manage your time balancing collaboration with client time and focused work. What matters is the impact you have, not how busy you look.
