We’re BDO. An accountancy and business advisory firm, providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organisations need to navigate today’s changing world.

We work with the companies that are Britain’s economic engine – ambitious, entrepreneurially-spirited and high‑growth businesses that fuel the economy – and directly advise the owners and management teams leading them.

We’ll broaden your horizons

Learning and Development (L&D) is a key enabler of our strategy as an Audit Stream and critical to our success. It supports our ability to attract, develop and retain talented people who take pride in their work and successfully deliver for our business. Effective L&D underpins quality and productivity by supporting our people to develop the necessary knowledge and skills to perform their work, helping them reach their personal and professional potential.

This is your chance to shape the future of learning in this important area for the business.

About the Role

As our US Curriculum Lead, you’ll manage the entire learning process for our US offering. You’ll be pivotal in transitioning the curriculum into Audit Stream L&D (it currently sits in the business). You’ll work close with our US practitioners, ensuring our learning meets the needs of the business, remains high-quality and is commercially viable. You’ll be responsible for overseeing our QC 1000 response and liaise directly with global and US colleagues, influencing learning strategy for the future. You’ll report directly to the Audit Stream L&D Leadership Team.

Key responsibilities:

  • Build strategic relationships with SMEs, Global L&D, and the US firm.
  • Support the evaluation of learning impact and effectiveness (lead by our Monitoring, Reporting & Compliance team)
  • Bring fresh ideas to support effective learning solutions.
  • Support the QC 1000 process, optimising our systems, processes and controls in relation to the US curriculum.

What We’re Looking For

  • Experienced Manager with an audit background and recent US experience
  • Experience of authoring learning content and/or facilitation would be an advantage but is not essential
  • Strong relationship and collaboration skills
  • Ability to work independently or as part of a team
  • Experience with change programmes is beneficial
  • Interest in developing self and others through high-quality learning
  • Excellent analytical, interpersonal, and communication skills
  • Strong data-analytics and problem-solving skills
  • Understanding of business strategy and a focus on delivering effectively

This role offers the flexibility to be based anywhere in the UK, with some travel required. If you’re a talented, high-performing individual ready to lead change and support our L&D strategy, we want to hear from you. Apply now and help us redefine service quality in our US sector.

It’s a supportive and forward-looking environment built for people who want meaningful work, flexibility, and long-term growth.
