Director Learning & Development

This is a unique opportunity to help build the future of learning at Hasbro, creating a development ecosystem that strengthens leadership, accelerates business-critical capabilities, and delivers learning experiences that are distinctly Hasbro.   

The Director of Learning & Career Development will lead the design, development, and delivery of learning experiences that help our people grow and our business succeed. From onboarding and manager excellence to leadership development, workforce capability building, and differentiated talent programs, this leader will shape the learning experiences that support employees throughout their careers at Hasbro. 

This is a highly visible role that requires strategic thinking, sound judgment, and hands-on execution. The ideal candidate is a builder who can create a roadmap, earn alignment, develop a team, roll up their sleeves, and bring programs to life.
