WHO WE ARE
We are PEAK6, a leading investment firm, using technology to find a better way of doing things.

Position Summary
The Learning & Development Program Coordinator owns the design, delivery, and continuous improvement of PEAK6's enterprise-wide learning ecosystem across PEAK6 and its subsidiary companies. The main focus of this role will be standing up a firm-wide management training program, and rather than building all of it in-house, this role sources, vets, and manages a network of external vendors and firms (facilitators, training providers, content vendors, and coaching and assessment firms) that help execute our learning programs, and then runs the day-to-day operation that keeps those programs on track: scheduling, communications, follow-up, tracking and reporting. This role may also jump into some initiatives like high potential programs and firm-wide manager 360’s. The ideal candidate is an organized, relationship-driven program coordinator who can find the right partners, hold them accountable, and keep multiple programs moving – all while partnering closely with HR Business Partners, people leaders, and stakeholders across the PEAK6 family of companies.
Key Responsibilities
1. Program Coordination & Execution
Coordinate the end-to-end delivery of manager learning programs (e.g., leadership development, onboarding, skills training, compliance training) that address needs identified in partnership with HR and business leaders.
Own the program calendar: schedule sessions, cohorts, facilitators, and participants; send invitations, reminders, and pre- and post-work; and manage rooms, virtual platforms, and logistics across locations.
Follow up consistently with partners, participants, and managers to keep programs on schedule, resolve open items, and make sure nothing falls through the cracks.
Develop and maintain a company-wide learning calendar and curriculum roadmap spanning PEAK6 and its subsidiary companies.
Track participation, collect participant feedback, and report on completion rates and program effectiveness; work with partners to improve content based on results.
2. Partner & Vendor Sourcing, Vetting, and Management
Identify, research, and vet external training firms, facilitators, coaches, assessment providers, and content providers that fit PEAK6's needs and culture.
Run the selection process: gather proposals, compare options, check references, and make recommendations to HR leadership.
Manage multiple partner relationships at once, including onboarding, scope and deliverable alignment, contract and budget oversight, invoicing coordination, and ongoing performance reviews.
Serve as the main point of contact between partners and internal stakeholders, making sure partners are briefed, prepared, and aligned with each program's goals.
Maintain a vetted partner roster with notes on capabilities, pricing, past performance, and availability.
