About Phi Management Group

For over 20 years, Phi Management Group has partnered with organisations across industries and geographies on leadership assessment, development and transformation, working with more than 220 clients across 26 industries.

The Role

This is a senior, client-facing, part-time assignment. The initial contract is for six months, with the possibility of renewal. It combines learning design expertise, strategic thinking and programme leadership. You will be Phi's main point of contact for the client and will own the strategic direction, design quality and overall coherence of the programme.

You will:

• Lead the project team, ensuring coordination, accountability and timely delivery
• Represent Phi in strategic client meetings and key programme decisions
• Build and maintain a strong working relationship with the client's senior stakeholders
• Engage directly with universities, business schools, faculty and learning partners
• Review and challenge programme outlines, content, methodology and learning activities
• Work with subject-matter experts to strengthen materials and ensure consistency across modules
• Validate final programme outputs before client approval

Who We're Looking For

10+ years in executive education, leadership development, instructional design or L&D consultancy, with:

• Deep expertise in instructional design and adult learning methodologies
• A track record designing or overseeing senior-level L&D programmes
• Proven experience working directly with clients at senior level
• Strong judgement, discretion and professionalism, even under pressure
• Excellent English communication skills
• Relevant certifications in learning design, leadership development or facilitation (advantageous)

This is not a project management or training delivery role. It sits at the intersection of client strategy, learning design and programme leadership.

Selection Process

• CV submission & shortlisting (only shortlisted candidates will be contacted)
• Initial interview with a Phi Management Group UK Partner
• Competency-based interview
• Practical case: review a learning programme and present your recommendations
• Final discussion with Phi senior leadership on scope, ways of working and availability

How to Apply

Submit your CV with a short note on your relevant experience and availability. Given the immediate start date, availability at short notice will be an important factor.

We look forward to hearing from experienced professionals interested in this assignment.
