Red D are recruiting a Learning & Development Manager to lead training and development in a luxury hospitality setting in Co. Mayo.

If you’re passionate about bringing out the best in people, creating learning experiences that stick, and supporting teams to grow and thrive — this could be your next role. You’ll have the chance to shape training programmes that not only enhance skills but also inspire confidence and career growth across all departments.

About the Role:

As Learning & Development Manager, you’ll design and deliver training that really makes a difference — from welcoming new starters to supporting future leaders. Working closely with heads of department, you’ll ensure that every member of the team has the tools, knowledge, and confidence to deliver exceptional guest experiences. Whether it’s hands-on workshops or digital learning, you’ll tailor your approach to meet the needs of the business and the people in it.

What You’ll Be Doing:

• Creating and delivering training programmes across all departments — including onboarding, customer service, compliance, and leadership development
• Developing engaging workshops and digital training materials, including e-learning modules
• Checking in on how training is landing — using feedback, testing, and on-the-job performance to keep improving
• Keeping clear records of who’s completed what, ensuring everyone stays on track with their learning
• Spotting high-potential team members and supporting their development with tailored training plans
• Building leadership training for supervisors and managers to strengthen the future leadership team
• Making sure compliance, health & safety, and regulatory training is always up to date
• Working hand-in-hand with HR and department heads to align training with the hotel’s goals and service standards
• Staying curious — keeping up with new hospitality trends and training tools to bring fresh ideas to the table

What We’re Looking For:

• Proven experience in Learning & Development, Training, or Talent Management within hospitality
• A strong understanding of how adults learn, training design, and e-learning platforms
• Someone who’s as comfortable leading a room as they are behind a screen — with great communication and coaching skills
• The ability to engage and motivate people at all levels, from new hires to senior leaders
• A good grasp of hospitality standards, guest expectations, and operational practices
• Organised, with the ability to manage multiple projects and priorities
• Confident using Microsoft Office, Learning Management Systems (LMS), and digital training tools

What’s in it for you?

• Subsidised staff accommodation (subject to availability)
• Ongoing investment in your own training and development
• Access to an Employee Assistance Programme for wellbeing support
• Staff discounts
• Bike to Work scheme

If you’re ready to take the lead on training, nurture talent, and help shape the future of a luxury hospitality team, we’d love to hear from you. Apply today and let’s start the conversation.
