About Zavmo

Zavmo, your lifelong learning companion, is an AI-powered learning platform transforming professional development globally.

We're not selling courses.

We're partnering with global enterprises to transform their learning ecosystems, helping them maximise apprenticeship levy funding, achieve regulatory compliance, and deliver measurable workforce development outcomes.

The Role

We need a seasoned L&D professional who has lived and breathed enterprise learning at global scale.

Someone who understands the complex world of corporate training, LMS platforms, competency frameworks, and the commercial realities of selling learning solutions to international organisations.

You'll be the bridge between our AI technology and enterprise clients - translating business needs into learning strategies, designing programmes that align with regulatory frameworks (OFQUAL, NOS, apprenticeship standards), and ensuring our platform delivers genuine business value for clients across multiple countries.
