The opportunity

The Supervising Associate plays a pivotal role in the strategic planning, deployment, and delivery of Tech Consulting and firmwide learning programs. This role also supports cross-service-line initiatives and contributes to broader learning strategies across the organization.

By managing a diverse array of learning operations functions—including vendor management, budgeting, and stakeholder experience management—the Supervising Associate ensures seamless integration and execution of learning programs. This role requires a dynamic lead who can balance autonomy with collaboration, driving the firm’s learning initiatives forward and ensuring they are executed with precision and excellence.

In this role, the Supervising Associate collaborates closely with the Learning Manager (LM) and Learning Leader (LL) to conduct needs assessments to identify learning requirements, lead the design and execution of learning events, and develop comprehensive deployment plans. These plans forecast the number and location of classes, webcasts, and eLearnings, identify target learners, outline communication needs, and prepare and assign instructors. The ideal candidate will possess robust project management skills and extensive experience in overseeing learning operations, enabling them to work independently while adopting a consultative approach to meet business needs effectively with the right team members.

• Organize and participate in post-session debriefs with facilitators (and other stakeholders) with a focus on continuous improvement
• Deliver learning updates at key meetings (e.g., competency and sub-service-line town halls)
• Monitor annual sub-service-line and competency L&D budget, accurately accruing expenses and forecasting spend.
• Reporting out to L&D and business leadership on budget uptake, forecasting spend and informing key decisions.
