The Director, Learning and Organizational Development owns Azurity Pharmaceuticals' Capability & Development Framework, designing and delivering the programs that build organizational capability across the colleague lifecycle. The Director is accountable for four of the framework's five pillars — management system fluency, Azurity-specific business training, employee self-development, and business acumen & critical thinking; compliance training is owned separately. Partnering with the Senior Leadership Team, subject-matter experts, and Colleague Experience Business Partners, the Director aligns learning strategy to business priorities and embeds a culture of continuous learning and enterprise thinking, blending instructional-design rigor with strategic vision to keep programs scalable, measurable, and impactful.
