The Global Manufacturing and Quality Learning and Development (GMQLD) organization is dedicated to delivering learning solutions and strategies that empower Lilly's Manufacturing and Quality organizations to achieve our mission: making medicine with safety first and quality always. The Platform L\&D Leader is the recognized internal expert in learning and capability development for their platform — driving excellence through a team of L\&D professionals and serving as the critical connector between platform execution and the global Center of Excellence. This role operates at the intersection of global strategy and platform\-specific need — ensuring that learning priorities, governance frameworks, and compliance standards are consistently and effectively delivered across every site the platform serves. The Platform L\&D Leader balances global direction with the on\-the\-ground realities of their platform and sites, ensuring audit and inspection readiness, workforce development, and capability\-building are executed with precision at the local level.
Responsibilities:
Leadership \& High\-Performance Team Development
- Build and lead a high\-performing global team by setting a clear standard of excellence, holding accountability to outcomes with directness and care, and addressing performance gaps — and talent gaps — without hesitation.
- Bring high emotional intelligence to team leadership — reading individual motivators, team dynamics, and organizational pressure accurately to coach effectively, sustain cohesion through change, and create an environment where strong performers thrive.
- Translate strategic priorities into clear team direction and execution rhythm — removing blockers, maintaining momentum, and closing the gap between what leadership asks for and what the team delivers.
- Develop team members across craft, stakeholder influence, and leadership capacity — coaching individuals to frame problems well, bring solutions, and operate with increasing independence and confidence.
- Operate as a skilled problem\-solver and credible cross\-functional partner — navigating complex, matrixed relationships across platforms, sites, and senior leadership with substance, influence, and a clear line of sight to business outcomes.
- Serve as the primary L\&D leader for the platform, aligning with global L\&D strategy, policies, and procedures while meeting local needs.
- Partner with the global CoE, LAs, and LEPs to implement future\-facing learning solutions.

- Ensure audit and inspection readiness, proactively addressing training gaps and regulatory expectations.
- Act as a strategic partner across CoE, functional leadership, Site L\&D Leads, Quality, Operations, HR, and Tech@Lilly — driving alignment across a matrixed global organization through influence rather than authority.

- 8\+ years in L\&D, Talent Development, Instructional Design, or Manufacturing Training within regulated pharma/biotech.
- Deep knowledge of GxP/GMP, regulatory requirements, and compliance training across global manufacturing networks.
