    Director of Learning and Development - Foster City, CA

    I'm looking for a Director of Learning and Development for a well known culturally unique Pharma company in Foster City, CA in beautiful Bay Area. They offer a great relo package!   Everyone has been blown away by them so far.  This position has global reach and is more strategic than curriculum design focused.  Ideally they would love someone with E Learning experience but what's really important is the strategic focus rather than just curriculum design.  100% of my work is through referral so if you know anyone I would love it if you could pass this email along.

    I'm happy to discuss the client details anytime.  Just let me know a good number/time to reach you.
