Learning & Development Specialist

About HQ

HeadQuarters is a global start-up that supports US cannabis companies. We focus on finance, accounting, sales operations, recruitment, marketing, and logistics.

With teams in Mexico, Serbia, US, Colombia and the Philippines. We have grown from 55 to over 130 people in two years, and we build the structure as we go.

About the role

This is a Learning and Development role with a people-partnering side, reporting directly to the HR Manager.

You will own how people at HQ learn and grow, working closely with the HR team and with team leads. AI is a big part of where we are heading as a company, and you will help us get there, both inside HR and in what we teach the rest of the teams.

You will be building development for a professional team spread across Mexico, Serbia, and the US.

What you will own:

Learning and Development

• Design and run training programs for individual contributors and managers
• Deliver the sessions yourself, live and remote, to groups of 5 to 30 people
• Build learning paths tied to our leveling framework
• Turn what our top performers already do into content the rest of the company can use

Onboarding

• Own the onboarding experience end to end, from offer to day 90
• Run onboarding sessions for new joiners across countries
• Keep improving it based on what new people actually tell us

People partnering

• Run our 30, 60, 90, and 180-day check-ins.
• Partner with team leads on development plans
• Support the performance review cycle twice a year

How we expect you to work

• Automate the parts of this that should not be done by hand
• Build the reporting that tells us whether any of it is working

Must have

• At least 3 years in Learning and Development or training, building and delivering programs, not only coordinating them
• Comfortable speaking in front of a group. A large part of this job is standing up and running a room
• Professional English C1/C2 Level

Nice to have

• Experience working with LMS platforms
• Experience partnering with teams
• Experience in a company that grew fast and built its people function along the way
• Exposure to performance review cycles, leveling, or compensation structures
• You already use AI tools to make your own work faster

Benefits:

Work fully remotely in a flexible and collaborative environment

Collaborate with U.S. cannabis team leaders, helping build solutions that improve how their teams operate and scale

Grow your career through hands-on ownership, exposure to emerging AI technologies, and continuous learning

Our Values
We are guided by curiosity, collaboration, and persistence. We seek to understand deeply, work collectively to solve complex challenges, and remain resilient in pursuit of meaningful, long-term impact. These principles shape how we operate as a team and how we support the success of our clients.
