Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Fortive is a global industrial technology innovator focused on making the world safer and more productive. The Learning & Delivery Specialist will create practical learning content and curriculum that helps Fortive Operating Companies build necessary capabilities, ensuring that learning experiences drive adoption and behavior change.
Responsibilities
- Partner with Talent Planning, People Insights, Talent Enablement Partners, OpCo HRVPs, and FLT stakeholders to turn business strategy and talent signals into clear capability needs and learning outcomes that OpCos can use immediately
- In partnership with Talent Planning understand OpCo needs to inform most common, highest-impact learning and capability gaps to inform centralized content development
- Frame learning demand in an 80/20 way: define the reusable core (so OpCos can move faster) and the “last mile” customization needed for local relevance and adoption
- Design and develop curricula and content that OpCos can deploy with minimal friction—clear, practical, and built for real leader/employee use in the flow of work
- Establish and maintain a shared set of learning content that covers priority capabilities, including: (TBD) GEM leadership capabilities, FBS Fundamentals, people leadership, change management, onboarding, and other priority capabilities as defined by the roadmap
- Build content with a reuse-first mindset: start with off-the-shelf learning when it fits, then add Fortive or OpCo examples only when they improve usefulness, uptake, and outcomes
- Support delivery of Fortive-wide learning moments and curriculum (ECO, GMDP, FBSLO, ALE, FLS, etc.)
- Own the design and development of change management curriculum and capability-building content, in partnership with the FBS Office, for localized delivery through TE Partners
- Operate with a bias for quick pilots: test with one or more OpCos, measure usefulness and adoption, iterate fast, and scale what works
- Run tight VOC loops with Talent Enablement Partners, learners, and OpCo HR/people leaders to improve content clarity, usability, and real-world application
- Define lightweight effectiveness measures (participation, completion, on-the-job use, leader feedback, and business-aligned outcomes where possible) and use results to refine the roadmap
- Maintain a leading practice library across OpCos (what’s working, assets, approaches, facilitators) so OpCos can reuse proven tools instead of starting from scratch
- Facilitate simple benchmarking across OpCos and with external sources to keep content current, practical, and effective
- Build and manage an internal and external expertise pool (SMEs, facilitators, vendors, platforms, and content sources) to accelerate development speed and quality—including researching and selecting best-fit options as needs evolve
- Listen, test, and incorporate input—while keeping the bar high for quality and making sure content is easy for OpCos to reuse and deploy
- Use inputs from TE Partner needs analysis, Talent Planning, People Insights, and FLT priorities to clarify what people need to do differently and who it’s for—so OpCos know exactly why it matters
- Confirm “what good looks like” and how learners will use the content in real work
- Scan existing Fortive content, OpCo-leading practices, and off-the-shelf content to identify the fastest path to an effective solution
- Build the shared core once (80%) and design modular add-ons for OpCo customization when required
- Customize for Fortive only when it increases relevance, adoption, and outcomes (e.g., language, examples, leader expectations, GEM/FBS integration)
- Run small pilots with OpCos to test learning design, content usability, and facilitation guidance before broad rollout
- Collect VOC, usage signals, and facilitator feedback on content development; use feedback to quickly refine and improve effectiveness of content (prototype loops)
- Package for scale so OpCos can deploy consistently: facilitator guides, leader toolkits, participant materials, and clear deployment guidance, including what is delivered centrally versus through TE Partners or OpCo HR. For Partnership Programs, define the handoff clearly: what the center delivers versus what the TE Partner supports
- Continuously refresh the shared curriculum and leading practice library based on new OpCo innovations, external benchmarks, and evolving Fortive priorities
- Connect the right internal/external experts to the right capability needs—reducing reinvention and speeding deployment
Skills
- Bachelor's degree required, ideally in Human Resources, Learning & Development, Education, Organizational Development, Industrial/Organizational Psychology, Business, or a related field
- Typically 6–8+ years of experience across learning design, curriculum development, leadership development, talent development, instructional design, or related capability-building roles
- Strong learning design and curriculum development capability (needs analysis → learning objectives → content/curriculum build → pilot → iteration → scale)
- High bias for experimentation and iteration; comfortable testing content quickly, incorporating VOC, and improving continuously
- Resourceful builder mindset: able to curate, adapt, and integrate off-the-shelf learning efficiently (vs. creating everything from scratch)
- Fluency with modern learning delivery approaches and tools (blended learning, cohorts, leader toolkits, micro-learning, virtual/in-person facilitation guidance, AI) to scale adoption across OpCos
- Ability to build and manage an internal & external expertise network (SMEs, facilitators, vendors, content providers) and to apply benchmarks/leading practices appropriately
- Comfort partnering across a decentralized, multi-OpCo model—balancing local context with shared content, consistency, and reuse
- Familiarity with change management frameworks and the ability to design change capability content that integrates with FBS and operating cadence
- Learning technology orientation: able to shape content strategy that fits LMS capabilities and supports simple access, search, and reuse
- Master's degree preferred
Benefits
- This position is also eligible for bonus as part of the total compensation package.
