We are looking for a Director of Leadership Enablement to be the chief architect of our enterprise leadership system. This isn't a role for maintaining the status quo; it is a mission to professionalize leadership as a strategic system that drives the One ATB standard, ensuring excellence across the business. You will lead a high-performing team on a pivotal journey, moving our organization from foundational awareness to hardwired high-performance, high care practices. This role is about ensuring that every ATB leader masters the essential skills, behaviours, and practices needed to lead people, drive business performance, and shape ATB’s future. If you are passionate about powering possibilities through people and living systems, and you thrive in a team that values authenticity and growth, then this is your next leadership challenge. ## Accountabilities As the Director, you won't just manage programs - you will define the capability of our leadership across the enterprise to shape our future.

You will prioritize community-based learning to embed support and development directly within a leader's daily workflow. * Measure Leadership as a Business Practice: Design and implement cutting-edge measurement frameworks that quantify the business impact of leadership development. Your work will directly correlate leadership proficiency with organizational efficiency and measurable financial performance. ## Knowledge, Skills and Experience We are looking for a senior leader ready to make a significant impact from day one. You are exemplary at leading people and will bring a distinct blend of deep technical knowledge, strategic business sense, and executive-level influence. * A Proven Leadership Architect: You have a minimum of 7 years of deep experience in corporate learning or Leadership Development, with at least 5 years successfully leading specialized teams in a complex matrix environment. Expertise in Prosci Change Management or CCMP is preferred to effectively drive large-scale organizational change. * The Power of Coaching and Influence: You possess an active Professional Coaching Certification (e.g., ICF - ACC/PCC/MCC), demonstrating your ability to execute deep-dive executive development and performance interventions. Your approach to Influence and Stakeholder Management is exceptional and critical for success in a Matrix Environment. * Strategic and Systems Thinker: You hold a Bachelor’s degree in Organizational Development, Human Resources, or Business (Master’s degree preferred). You are skilled in systems thinking and apply strong business acumen to solve complex problems and drive business goals. * Mastery in Execution and Analysis: You are an expert at defining the path forward through business acumen and strategic problem solving. This is coupled with a focus on disciplined program oversight, including project delivery, planning and steering, and the ability to apply critical thinking to manage complex deliverables. * Dynamic and Collaborative Leadership: Your strength lies in leading through complexity, which includes superior prioritization and managing expectations. You excel at fostering success through specialist teaming and cross-functional teaming, and demonstrate high adaptability and mastery of both verbal and written communication to align diverse partners. * Champion of Culture and Community: You embed our culture into every strategic initiative.
