As our Global Learning & Capability Building Director, you will shape how people at Coty learn, grow, and build the capabilities needed to succeed in a fast-changing business. You will set the direction for learning globally, strengthen leadership and critical skills, and ensure learning remains practical, relevant, and future-ready as the organization continues to evolve.

Your main focus:

• Set the global direction for learning and capability building, ensuring it is clearly linked to business priorities.
• Define learning frameworks and pathways that bring consistency while allowing flexibility across regions and functions.
• Shape the global learning agenda by working closely with leaders, HR, and key stakeholders to identify capability gaps and priorities.
• Design, curate, and oversee leadership and critical skills programs, working in close alignment with business-led initiatives such as AI upskilling.
• Introduce new learning approaches and technologies (including AI-enabled learning, microlearning, and social learning) to increase reach, relevance, and impact.
• Own the learning platform setup and delivery for global initiatives, ensuring smooth operations, clear reporting, and continuous improvement in partnership with HRIS.
• Act as a thought partner and advisor on learning design, partner selection, program integration, and the long-term sustainability of learning solutions.
• Track learning impact and adoption, connect outcomes to broader talent indicators, and use data and AI to refine and improve over time.

YOU ARE A COTY FIT

You thrive in fast‑moving, evolving environments—adapting quickly as priorities shift and making sound decisions even with incomplete information.

• Have experience leading learning and capability building across global and local contexts.
• Proven track record of identifying real capability needs and translating them into practical learning solutions.
• Comfortable using data (and AI where relevant) to prioritise work, measure impact, and influence senior stakeholders.
• Able to bring structure to ambiguity and balance strategic direction with hands-on delivery.
