[Hiring] Senior Program Manager, Learning & Development @StackAdapt

Role Description

As a Senior Program Manager, Learning & Development, you will own and evolve two of the most business-critical programs at StackAdapt:

• Global Onboarding
• Global Compliance

These programs directly impact employee readiness, speed-to-productivity, and our ability to operate effectively and responsibly at scale. This is a high-ownership role at the intersection of employee experience, business performance, and operational rigor. You will set the strategy, drive execution, and continuously improve both programs to meet the needs of a fast-growing, global organization.

This role is ideal for someone who is equally comfortable executing high-quality programs today and evolving them for tomorrow. You’re energized by operating across the full spectrum — from logistics and delivery to design, facilitation, and strategy — and you’re motivated by building, testing, and improving as you go.

At StackAdapt, we value range, ownership, and low ego. This role is designed to grow in scope and complexity over time, including deeper ownership of learning design and facilitation of higher-impact, higher-stakes experiences.

Qualifications

• Proven experience managing complex, cross-functional programs with high visibility and business impact
• Demonstrated ability to operate across both execution and strategy in a single role
• Strong program management fundamentals: roadmap planning, prioritization, stakeholder alignment, and execution
• Excellent business judgment — able to define problems clearly and drive effective, scalable solutions
• Strong ownership mindset — comfortable taking initiative and driving work forward without perfect direction
• Experience influencing stakeholders without direct authority and building alignment across teams
• Strong facilitation and communication skills, with the ability to engage and guide groups effectively
• Growth mindset with a willingness to step outside core expertise and build new skills (e.g., facilitation, design)
• Low ego, high accountability — open to feedback, focused on outcomes, and willing to roll up your sleeves
• Experience in Learning & Development, People, or a related function (preferred)
• Familiarity with learning tools and platforms (e.g., LMS, Articulate) is an asset
• Curiosity and interest in leveraging AI and new tools to improve workflows and outcomes

Requirements

• Own the end-to-end strategy and roadmap for Global Onboarding and Global Compliance programs
• Align program priorities to business goals, workforce growth, and evolving organizational needs
• Define success metrics and ensure programs drive measurable impact on employee readiness and performance
• Lead the delivery and scaling of both programs across regions, ensuring a high-quality, consistent experience
• Evaluate priorities, timelines, and resources to optimize execution and delivery speed
• Identify and address gaps, risks, and inefficiencies in program operations
• Facilitate onboarding and learning experiences that are engaging, structured, and set a high bar for the employee experience
• Create psychologically safe, high-participation environments that drive learning, clarity, and connection
• Continuously raise the quality of the learner experience through iteration and feedback
• Drive alignment across People, Legal/Compliance, and cross-functional stakeholders on program goals, expectations, and success measures
• Establish and track program metrics tied to employee experience, adoption, and business outcomes
• Conduct ongoing program reviews to refine strategy, priorities, and execution
• Simplify and streamline processes to reduce friction and improve scalability
• Own LMS operations (enrollment, tracking, troubleshooting)
• Ensure new hires have timely access to required tools and systems
