At Gifthealth, we're revolutionizing the way people experience healthcare by simplifying the process of managing prescriptions and health services. Our mission is to provide a seamless, personalized, and efficient healthcare experience for all our customers. We're a dynamic, innovative, and customer-centric company dedicated to making a positive impact on people's lives.

The Leadership Development Manager builds the programs that turn Gifthealth's people into its biggest advantage. Sitting within the Enterprise Learning & Development function and reporting to the Senior Director of Enterprise Learning & Development, this role owns the strategy and day-to-day execution behind leadership development and employee growth across the company, designing experiences that sharpen skills, deepen accountability, and connect every team member's development to Gifthealth's broader outcomes.

This person designs, delivers, and measures programs that develop leaders at every level and help individual contributors grow into their next role, partnering closely with the Senior Director of Enterprise Learning & Development, department heads, and managers to diagnose skill gaps, build learning paths, and embed development into how Gifthealth operates day to day rather than as a once-a-year event.

• Build succession and readiness plans in partnership with department leaders to prepare high-potential employees for their next role.

• Experience with an LMS or learning platform and familiarity with instructional design principles.
