About the position

?? Senior Talent & Learning Specialist - Join a Mission-Driven Organisation | Hybrid (Centurion, Pretoria)
Total CTC Package Offered | 3 days onsite + 2 remote

Are you a strategic thinker, builder, and talent development innovator looking to make a real impact? One of South Africa's most vital public sector entities-tasked with combatting money laundering and safeguarding the integrity of our financial system - is seeking a Senior Talent and Learning Specialist to help shape the future of its workforce.

This organisation may not be the biggest-but their mission is powerful, and the work is meaningful.

We're looking for a self-starter who thrives in agile environments. If you've got a consulting mindset or come from the consulting world, even better.

What You'll Do:

• Design and implement impactful learning and talent frameworks to elevate workforce capability.
• Lead skills diagnostics, build learning strategies, and align development with business priorities.
• Shape performance management, onboarding, succession planning, and other people-centric solutions.
• Bring data into decisions-root cause analysis, organisational diagnostics, ROI metrics.
• Collaborate closely with leadership and HR to drive a people-first, future-fit culture.

What You'll Need:

• A relevant HR or related degree (NQF 7+).
• 6+ years of L&D and talent development experience-bonus if paired with other HR capabilities.
• Strong presentation, facilitation, analytical, and coaching skills.
• Familiarity with the full L&D value chain (e.g. ADDIE, WSP/ATR, competency frameworks).
• Solid grasp of SAQA, skills development legislation, and performance enablement principles.

Ask Yourself - Is This You?
? Are you passionate about driving organisational capability, not just delivering training?
? Do you design talent solutions that are both strategic and practical?
? Can you partner confidently with execs, HR, and business stakeholders?
? Are you comfortable working in a dynamic, building-phase organisation?
? Have you worked in, or think like, a consultant-solutions-oriented and fast on your feet?

If you answered YES, we'd love to hear from you.
