Job Description
Roles & Responsibilities
You ll own Learning & Development end-to-end as an individual contributor. No team reporting to you (for now). This is a builder role.
Here s what success looks like:
- You create structure where there is ambiguity.
- You turn performance conversations into meaningful development plans.
- You identify high-potential (HiPo) talent early and build plans to accelerate them.
- You design career paths that people can actually see themselves growing into.
- You introduce competency frameworks that leaders actually use, not just store in folders.
- You elevate communication, leadership, and collaboration skills across teams.
- You implement and manage Learning Management Systems effectively, not just technically, but strategically.
- You work closely with leadership and challenge them when needed.
Day-to-day, you ll:
- Design and execute the company-wide L&D strategy
- Lead performance management cycles
- Build and manage HiPo frameworks
- Develop remote talent programs across multiple countries
- Deliver (or facilitate) soft skills training
- Partner with leadership to align development initiatives with business goals
We care about outcomes. Not about how many workshops you ran, but whether behavior actually changed because of them.
Desired Candidate Profile
You ve built your career in Learning & Development or Talent Management, and you ve done it in environments that move fast.
You likely have 6-7+ years of experience, possibly already operating at a Talent Manager or L&D Lead level.
But more importantly:
- You ve worked in startups or high-pressure environments where ambiguity is normal.
- You ve developed remote teams before.
- You understand performance management deeply, not just administratively.
- You ve worked with HiPo frameworks and can distinguish between high performers and high potentials.
- You re comfortable building from scratch. A blank page doesn t scare you.
- You understand competency frameworks and career pathing beyond theory.
- You re familiar with instructional design principles.
- You ve worked with Learning Management Systems.
- Experience with psychometric tools (like Hogan) is a strong plus.
On the personality side:
- You don t wait to be told what s broken, you see it and fix it.
- You re structured, but not rigid.
- You can handle strong personalities and push back respectfully.
- You communicate clearly in English (spoken and written) and Arabic.
- You care about detail, but not at the expense of speed.
- You re ambitious and want your work to visibly impact the company.

Lucidya
Lucidya is an AI-native platform for customer experience (CX) intelligence that manages entire customer lifecycles autonomously, from initial engagement through retention and growth. Unlike platforms that only surface insights and leave the action to you, Lucidya completes the loop with proprietary NLU capabilities developed entirely in-house and trained on millions of multilingual conversations, equipping marketing, support, CX, and research teams to deliver personalized experiences that drive measurable improvements in customer satisfaction, retention, and lifetime value. Why This Role Matters Lucidya is at a stage where talent density matters more than ever. We ve hired strong people. Now we need to develop them intentionally. We operate in a high-growth, high-pressure startup environment. Things move quickly. Priorities shift. Leaders are stretched. Without structure, development becomes reactive instead of strategic. This role exists to bring clarity and structure to how we grow our people. You won t be joining a fully built L&D machine. You ll be building it.
