Learning and Development Markets Liaison (EMEIA FSO)

Job description

Join the EMEIA FSO Learning & Organizational Development team and take a key role in enabling the delivery of learning and leadership programs effectively to our people across all of our markets.

 

The opportunity

 

EMEIA FSO is a virtual network of professionals, who provide professional services to clients in the Financial Services industry, distributed across 19 markets in Europe. The construct is designed to enable us to rapidly deploy highly skilled engagement teams to address our client’s problems.

 

Our people are “hosted” in local offices in the 19 markets and we refer to these locations as “Host”. The Host markets provide services to EMEIA FSO such as core business services (Finance, Operations and Premises) and recharge EMEIA FSO for these services. Our model is complex and requires robust governance to be in place to ensure that the services provided to EMEIA FSO meet our requirements and the recharges are commensurate for the services provided.
