• Provide guidance and coordination to ensure consistent interpretation and application of capability standards across stakeholders.

• Facilitate working sessions, role-mapping workshops, and learning pathway design discussions with stakeholders at all levels.

• Coordinate the development of learning pathway components in partnership with the Enterprise Learning team.

• Support the development of capability success measures and reporting to track proficiency, adoption, and integration into people processes.

• Prepare reports and insights that clearly communicate progress, risks, and recommendations to drive continuous improvement.

WHAT YOU WILL HAVE:
