Learning and Development Business Partner

About Us

Pedders Suspension & Brakes is a proud Australian family-owned business with a long history, a strong future, and a solid association with motorsport.

With global presence and being renowned for our quality product range, we are the market leaders in the undercar space, and when you join us, you join a strong national network and a team of high performers.

The Opportunity

We currently have an exciting opportunity for a Learning & Development Business Partner to join our People & Culture team, reporting directly to the Chief People Officer.

This is a standalone, end-to-end L&D role with the opportunity to truly partner with the business, understand what our people need to be successful, and recommend engaging, practical and impactful learning solutions. You’ll have the autonomy to shape and deliver our learning approach, working closely with leaders and subject matter experts to build capability and confidence across the business.

A key focus will be creating digital and eLearning content that supports our teams, stores and customers with new products, processes and ways of working. You’ll also be responsible for the end-to-end learning lifecycle, including needs analysis, solution design, content development, LMS administration, learning coordination, reporting, evaluation and facilitation where appropriate.

This role would suit someone who is creative, curious, commercially minded and hands-on, and who enjoys bringing learning to life. You’ll turn complex information into simple, useful and engaging learning experiences — from short eLearning modules, guides and videos through to workshops and blended learning solutions.

Most importantly, this is an opportunity to be a trusted learning partner to the business. Rather than simply responding to requests, you’ll have the opportunity to challenge, influence and recommend the right learning solution to meet business needs and create meaningful impact.

Key Responsibilities

• Partner with the business: Work closely with leaders and subject matter experts to understand learning needs, skill gaps and opportunities to support team capability.

• Turn knowledge into learning: Translate technical, product and process information into clear, engaging content for different audiences, including teams, stores and customers where required.
• Coordinate and deliver learning programs: Support learning programs, workshops and learning events across online, face-to-face and blended formats, including facilitation where appropriate.
• Support mandatory and compliance learning: Coordinate required training and make the learning process simple, accessible and engaging for learners.
• Improve the learning experience: Use learner feedback, completion data and reporting to improve learning content, participation and overall learner experience.
• Manage LMS activity: Administer learning through our LMS, including course setup, enrolments, learner records, reporting and compliance tracking.
