Our people at JLL are shaping the future of real estate for a better world by combining world class services, advisory and technology for our clients. We are committed to hiring the best, most talented people and empowering them to thrive, grow meaningful careers and to find a place where they belong. Whether you’ve got deep experience in commercial real estate, skilled trades or technology, or you’re looking to apply your relevant experience to a new industry, join our team as we help shape a brighter way forward.
Job Description:
Shape the future of work at JLL by building the capabilities our workforce needs to thrive in an AI-transformed environment. We are seeking a strategic and motivated Learning and Development Manager to lead upskilling and reskilling initiatives for our Corporate Functions (HR, Legal, Finance, Marketing, Research, Business Services) and JLL Technologies teams. You will be responsible for designing and delivering future-focused learning programs that enable our business teams to adapt, grow, and excel as artificial intelligence reshapes how we work. Your role will be vital in ensuring our people have the skills, mindsets, and capabilities required to drive innovation and maintain JLL's competitive advantage in an evolving commercial real estate landscape.
Why JLL:
At JLL, you'll help shape how work gets done, for our people, our clients, and the industry we lead. AI is changing careers faster than ever, and we're building a skills-first path through that change, not just reacting to it. Our Learning & Development team sits at the center of that shift: we're the team JLL is counting on to help thousands of employees adapt, grow, and thrive over the next few years. If you've already made AI-enabled tools part of how you design and deliver learning, you'll fit right in here, we see AI as an amplifier for what you bring, not a replacement for it. This is a chance to do career-defining L&D work, build skills that stay relevant as the future of work keeps changing, and help JLL's people move forward with confidence through intentional and strategic upskilling and reskilling initiatives.
You'll bring agility and resilience, comfort moving with change rather than waiting for it to settle. You're AI- and digital-literate, and you've already put AI-enabled tools to work in how you design and deliver learning. You think critically and analytically, and you know how to turn that thinking into a case others can act on. You collaborate naturally, influence without needing formal authority, consult rather than dictate, and you know how to drive change through people, not just process.
