Quick Overview
Job Description
Who we are
Helsing is a defence AI company. Our mission is to protect our democracies. We aim to achieve technological leadership, so that open societies can continue to make sovereign decisions and control their ethical standards.
As democracies, we believe we have a special responsibility to be thoughtful about the development and deployment of powerful technologies like AI. We take this responsibility seriously.
We are an ambitious and committed team of engineers, AI specialists and customer-facing programme managers. We are looking for mission-driven people to join our European teams – and apply their skills to solve the most complex and impactful problems. We embrace an open and transparent culture that welcomes healthy debates on the use of technology in defence, its benefits, and its ethical implications.
The role
Reporting to Helsing's People Operations Learning Lead, you will own the day-to-day design and delivery of our onboarding, leadership, and learning programmes, turning strategy into effective experiences on the ground as we scale rapidly.
Where the Learning Lead sets the strategy and underlying infrastructure, you will drive execution and continuous iteration: hosting and facilitating in-person onboarding in Munich, keeping our learning resources sharp and current, and ensuring our programmes run smoothly for the many stakeholders across the business who depend on them.
You will be one of the first people new joiners meet during their first days at Helsing, and a key part of the team ensuring the systems behind that experience — content, scheduling, resources, feedback — operate seamlessly. Alongside onboarding, you will build content and facilitation materials that support our broader leadership and learning initiatives, with a direct impact on how quickly and effectively new hires and future leaders are set up to succeed.

-
Support self-serve learning, building and supporting adoption of self-serve resources and tracking engagement and feedback on content quality
