About the job

This position is needed to build and lead the live learning experiences that shape how Twilions grow, lead, and work together. You will design and facilitate Twilio's development programs, design and lead leadership team offsites, and serve as an internal coach to leaders and emerging talent around the globe.

Reporting to the Senior Director of Talent Development, you will spend most of your time in the room, virtual or in person, with Twilions: designing programs, facilitating sessions, guiding leadership teams through high-stakes offsites, and coaching leaders through pivotal growth moments. The ideal candidate is an expert facilitator and credentialed coach who designs with rigor, reads a room in real time, and turns every session into measurable behavior change.

Responsibilities

In this role, you’ll:

• Design and build facilitated development programs end to end, from needs assessment and learning objectives through facilitator guides, participant materials, and experiential activities, for leaders, managers, and individual contributors globally.
• Facilitate Twilio's development programs in person, virtually, and in hybrid formats, delivering engaging, inclusive sessions that build skills and shift behavior across a global, remote-first workforce.
• Design and facilitate leadership team offsites and team effectiveness sessions, partnering with senior leaders to define outcomes, build agendas, guide strategic conversations, and drive clear commitments and follow-through.
• Serve as an internal coach to leaders and high-potential talent, delivering one-on-one and team coaching engagements and embedding coaching into development programs to reinforce learning.
• Build internal facilitation capability by developing and certifying a bench of facilitators, and set the design and delivery standards for Talent Development programs.
• Partner with HRBPs and business leaders to diagnose capability gaps and determine whether training, coaching, or a facilitated team intervention is the right solution.
• Measure the impact of programs, offsites, and coaching through participant feedback, behavior change, and business outcomes, and use the data to continuously iterate.
