Learning & Development Manager in Sydney

Nuix creates innovative software that empowers organisations to simply and quickly find the truth from any data in a digital world. We are a passionate and talented team, delighting our customers with software that transforms data into actionable intelligence across the globe.

We're on a mission to be a Force For Good, through our People, Products and Purpose at Nuix. Our impact extends outside of our 9-5, and our place in society isn't always defined by corporate metrics. We're determined to make a positive difference in the world, whether through our solutions which help the top companies, governments and agencies find the truth and combat illegal activities, or through our people who care about contributing and giving back both within, and outside, of Nuix.

The Learning & Development Manager will be a key driver in our AI enablement journey, designing and implementing innovative learning solutions that help our people adapt, grow and thrive in a rapidly evolving tech environment. This role will champion our TRUTH values while building capabilities that accelerate our transformation and customer success.
