Position Summary

Hybrid | Full-Time

Reports to: VP, Learning & Talent Development

We are seeking a Workforce Enablement & Learning Systems Manager. A builder, someone who brings together learning technology, AI enablement, automation, and strong operational discipline to create smarter, faster, and more scalable ways of working. This individual will play a critical role in shaping how the organization builds workforce readiness and enables continuous learning at scale, without increasing risk.

In this role, you will design and optimize the systems that power modern learning and operational enablement. You will challenge outdated processes, identify inefficiencies, and introduce innovative solutions that reduce friction, eliminate redundancy, and streamline manual work. You naturally think in systems rather than silos and approach problems with both creativity and sound judgment.

As Metro Credit Union continues to modernize across learning, AI adoption, and workforce enablement, this role will be instrumental in ensuring those efforts scale intelligently and sustainably. Success in this position requires a mindset grounded in experimentation, continuous improvement, and a willingness to Build Boldly, testing new ideas while maintaining strong operational rigor. This is not a role that simply maintains systems; it’s one that helps reinvent how an organization learns, adapts, and stays operationally ready in a rapidly evolving environment. Most jobs ask you to maintain the playbook. This one asks you to help reinvent it. If building smarter systems, modernizing workforce enablement, and creating real business impact excites you, we’d love to meet you.

We Are Seeking An Individual Who Is

• Naturally inclined to identify opportunities to automate and streamline work
• Able to balance innovation with sound judgment

• Motivated by ownership, accountability, and solving meaningful problems
• Drawn to working at the intersection of technology, people, operations, and learning
• Curious and excited about AI and emerging technology trends
