About the role
CFA Institute is hiring a Director, Learning Content to help shape how investment professionals learn, apply and demonstrate real-world skills. This is a Director-level individual contributor role within the Learning Content function, working across our global education portfolio and helping develop learning that reflects how investment work is actually done. The role offers the opportunity to work across areas such as the CFA Program, certificates, private markets and sustainability-related content. Sustainability exposure is valuable, but this is not a sustainability-only role. The emphasis is on investment credibility, content judgement, stakeholder collaboration and the ability to translate complex professional practice into rigorous, learner-centric content at scale.
What you'll bring
- Credible experience in investment management, financial services, finance education or a closely related field, with the ability to develop and apply deep subject matter expertise.
- Experience developing, contributing to or reviewing professional, university-level, client-facing or internal learning/training/content materials in finance or related disciplines.
- A clear and authentic motivation to work in learning content and education, with interest in how adults learn and how complex investment practice can be translated into effective learning experiences.
- A track record of producing accurate, high-quality and market-relevant content, with comfort working through review cycles, feedback and iterative improvement.
- Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to build trust and collaborate effectively with internal teams, external contributors and senior industry professionals.
- Proven ability to operate independently in a global, cross-functional environment, balancing multiple priorities and delivering to agreed timelines.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with confidence explaining complex concepts clearly to diverse audiences.
- Candidates without the charter will also be considered where they bring equivalent industry credibility and learning content experience.
- Other relevant professional qualifications are also valued.
- CFA charterholder strongly preferred.
- Exposure to sustainability, private markets, AI, data tools or other emerging areas relevant to investment education.
- Experience with learning design, assessment, curriculum development or professional credentialing environments.
