Learning & Development Business Partner

Learning & Development Business Partner Saxbys | Philadelphia, PA (Hybrid) | $70,000/year + annual bonus + benefits

Make Life Better — for the students who lead our cafes.

Saxbys isn't just a coffee company. We're an experiential learning platform disguised as a cafe — where college students run the show as Student CEOs, and every cup poured is part of their leadership development. We're looking for a Learning & Development Business Partner to help build the training that makes that possible.

Job Summary: The Learning & Development Business Partner supports Saxbys’ Operations team by building and maintaining the training that prepares student team members to succeed in the cafe. This role works under the direction of the Director of L&D and in close partnership with Operations Implementation to assess training needs across cafe roles, close content gaps and keep training and compliance content current. The role also manages the day-to-day grading, enrollment, and reporting for Saxbys' Experiential Learning Platform (ELP), and supports HQ learning initiatives as capacity allows.

What You Will Own

• Cafe Training & Compliance Content: Partner closely with subject matter experts to identify content gaps and update existing cafe training materials and compliance content (Fair Workweek, DOH, food safety) to produce multimodal, engaging online learning experiences. 
• ELP Learning Experience Ownership: Manage, update, and maintain all content within the Saxbys Experiential Learning Platform – including the Experiential Learning Microcredentials (Badge Courses), Student VP onboarding courses, and the Student CEO Badge Course – to reflect new expectations and processes, and design interactive, multimodal, high-quality learning experiences for student leaders.
• Assessment, Enrollment & Reporting: Grade student submissions, process enrollments, and run recurring reports for department leads. Analyze learning experience survey results and identify opportunities to enhance content and delivery.
• HQ Learning Support: Support additional HQ learning initiatives as time and capacity allow, including role-specific onboarding training, systems rollouts, and professional development / managerial training across synchronous and asynchronous formats.

Who You Will Support

• Operations Implementation: Serve as the embedded L&D business partner to the Operations team, translating operational priorities into cafe training content and compliance updates.
• Director of Cafe Operations: Partner closely to identify content gaps, validate accuracy, and keep cafe training aligned with current operating procedures.
• Student CEOs and Student VPs: Maintain and evolve the Experiential Learning Platform content, assessments, and submission environments that support their leadership development.
• Director of Learning & Development: Execute against the broader enterprise learning strategy, escalating content or resourcing needs and contributing data and insights from cafe-level and ELP programming.
• HQ Departments: Provide additional L&D support - as time and capacity allow - for onboarding, systems rollouts, and professional development initiatives.
