Senior People Performance Manager

Are you ready to take a high-growth agency's learning culture to the global stage? As our Senior People Performance Manager, you won't just maintain standard training modules - you will architect the overall performance and enablement strategy that makes Impression the best place for digital talent to transform their career.

Splitting your impact between technical training (across Performance, Tech, and Commercial) and core behavioural development, you'll own our LMS and build the skills pathways that define the future of digital roles. You'll partner directly with Heads of Department to turn their technical ambitions into reality, transforming how our teams scale.

We are building something bigger than an internal L&D function; we are building a world leading training program. A major part of your journey will be leading the ultimate commercialisation of the Impression Academy - giving you the rare opportunity to scale our training ecosystem into a product we deliver directly to our clients.

Experience working within digital marketing or within an agency is a requirement of this role. You may not have any training experience yet, but if you have a background in digital and love helping others to learn, this is the role for you.

We're looking for an ambitious Senior People Performance Manager to join the team and help us continue to deliver award winning results for our clients.

Impression were recently ranked fourth in UK's Best Workplaces for Wellbeing (medium sized companies), and we continuously strive to ensure the best possible work life balance for our team.

As a successful candidate, you will be given a clear progression path. We want rising talent to grow with us and there is ample opportunity for you to progress to the next level.

We are also very proud to have been listed on the "Flexa 100" Most Flexible Companies to work for and to be officially recognised as a Great Place to Work . We offer many benefits including the 4.5 day working week, flexible hybrid working options and enhanced leave to name but a few.
