Description

Learning And Development Manager

Position Summary

We are looking for a Learning & Development Manager who is equal parts builder and people person. Someone who can walk into a growing, fast-moving company, get to know how things work, and then create the training infrastructure that helps our teams perform at their best.

Our philosophy is simple: our managers train their own teams. Your job is to make sure they have everything they need to do that well. That means great content, clear systems, and an LMS that becomes a resource people genuinely rely on. It also means showing up, building relationships, and being the kind of resource that people are excited to call.

This is not a sit-behind-a-screen role. You will be a visible, energetic presence in our culture, and when the moment calls for it, you need to be comfortable stepping in front of a group and leading. The right person brings both the skill to build programs and the confidence to own a room.

This role sits within our Team Member Experience team, which is our version of HR. TMX exists because we genuinely believe that when our team members feel supported, developed, and valued, everything else follows. This L&D Manager should share that belief deeply. The work you do here is not just about training programs and completion rates. It is about making Walters a place where people grow, feel invested in, and want to stay.

This role operates with a high degree of autonomy. You will be trusted to assess the landscape, set your own priorities, and drive your work forward without being managed step by step. You will have support, collaboration, and a team that is invested in your success, but you will not have someone telling you what to do each week. If you do your best work when you have room to own it, you will thrive here.

Core Responsibilities

Build and Improve Training Content
Empower Our Managers
Own the LMS
Show Up and Lead When It Counts
Measure and Improve

Qualifications

5+ years of experience in learning and development, instructional design, or a closely related function.
A track record of building L&D programs in a complex, multi-department, or decentralized organization.
Strong content creation skills across formats: written guides, short video, e-learning, and facilitated sessions.
Hands-on LMS experience. Familiarity with Paycom is a strong plus.
The ability to sit down with a manager, ask the right questions, and turn what you learn into training that actually works.
Confidence in front of a group. You enjoy facilitating, you read rooms well, and you bring energy without being exhausting.
A high degree of self-direction. You manage your own workload, set your own priorities, and come to your manager with ideas and solutions rather than waiting to be told what to do next.
Excellent relationship-building skills. People should find you approachable, easy to work with, and genuinely useful.
A bachelor's degree in HR, Education, Instructional Design, Organizational Development, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.

Compensation And Schedule:

Salary Range between $75,000 - $80,000, commensurate with experience
This is a hybrid position that balances flexibility with face-to-face connection. We are looking for someone who lives within one of our main regions in Texas (DFW, Houston, or Hill Country). Success in this role comes from building strong relationships and gaining a deep understanding of our business, which means spending time with our teams through conversations, meetings, and targeted visits when it matters most. Travel is expected periodically for major company events, regional sessions, and the annual Walters Summit.

Benefits:
