Job Description

The opportunity:

Advancing minimally invasive care requires more than great technology — it requires people who grow with the company, lead with intention, and bring their best to every challenge. The Director, Enterprise Learning will shape how we build capability from the inside out: ensuring every employee, manager, and director has the knowledge, skills, and mindset to perform and grow.

We're looking for someone who sees learning as a business discipline, not a support function. Someone who starts with strategy — understanding where Intuitive is headed and what capabilities will get us there — and works backward to design learning that actually moves the needle. A builder who combines learning design expertise with sharp business judgment, and who knows how to measure whether any of it is working.

This role covers role agnostic enterprise learning below the VP level: individual contributor development, manager learning, director learning, and employee onboarding. It's a broad remit that requires both vision and execution — and a leader who can do both.

What you'll lead:

You'll report directly to the VP, Global Talent and own the strategy, design, and delivery of enterprise-wide learning programs that are connected to business priorities, deliver measurable impact, and built to last. This isn't about building a curriculum library — it's about building capability that shows up in business results.

What this looks like:

Anchor learning to business strategy. Partner closely with HR Business Partners, business leaders, and the broader Talent team to understand where the company is going and what capabilities will be required to get there. Translate that into a multi-year enterprise learning strategy with clear priorities, measurable outcomes, and a coherent point of view on what we build, buy, or curate.

Design learning that works. Lead the design and delivery of learning experiences across the full employee population — from onboarding through director-level development. Apply modern instructional design principles across a range of modalities: in-person, digital, cohort-based, on-demand, and AI-enabled. Prioritize approaches that fit how people actually learn at work.

Own manager and director development. Build and continuously evolve learning programs for managers and directors that are practical, relevant, and grounded in what Intuitive needs from its people leaders. Work closely with HR Business Partners to ensure programs address real capability gaps, not just generic leadership topics.

Deliver a best-in-class onboarding experience. Design and steward an onboarding experience that accelerates time-to-productivity, connects new employees to Intuitive's mission and culture, and sets a strong foundation for long-term engagement and performance.

Make learning measurable. Define clear success metrics for every major program and build the infrastructure to track them. Move beyond attendance and satisfaction scores — connect learning outcomes to performance, retention, and business impact. Use data to make honest calls about what's working and what isn't.

Bring modern learning approaches to life. Stay close to how the learning landscape is evolving — AI-enabled personalization, digital learning platforms, cohort learning, nudge-based reinforcement — and bring the right innovations into Intuitive in ways that are practical and scalable, not just novel.

Build and lead a high-performing team. Lead a team of learning professionals with clarity, high standards, and genuine investment in their development. Create an environment where craft matters, outcomes are tracked, and continuous improvement is the norm.

Partner across HR and the business. Work closely with Talent Management, HR Business Partners, People Analytics, and I&D to ensure enterprise learning is integrated into the broader talent strategy — and that programs reflect and reinforce an inclusive, high-performance culture.
