A lot of leadership development roles are built around delivering on a training plan. This one is built around changing how leadership actually shows up in the business.
At Metro Credit Union, we're looking for a Leadership Development Manager who wants to build, experiment, influence, and make a visible difference. You'll partner directly with the VP of Learning & Talent to strengthen manager effectiveness, improve engagement, elevate talent conversations, and create practical solutions that help leaders get better at the moments that matter.
If you get excited by building boldly, using data to find the real problem, experimenting with new tools, and helping leaders become more effective, this was role was made for you!
What You'll Do
Lead Manager & Leadership Capability
- Strengthen expectations for effective people leadership across the organization
- Design practical leadership and manager development experiences tied to measurable outcomes

- Experimenting with AI-enabled learning, coaching, agents, simulations, or practice environments that helped people build skills faster and more effectively

What Great Candidates Can Demonstrate
Candidates should be ready to discuss initiatives they personally led, including.
- The business problem they were solving
- Their specific role and contribution.
- How success was measured and what changed because of their work
The strongest candidates won't simply describe programs they facilitated. They'll explain what changed because of their work and how they know it made a difference.

Compensation Disclosure
- $105,000 - $135,000
