Azurity Pharmaceuticals is proud to be an inclusive workplace and an Equal Opportunity Employer. Azurity's success is attributable to our incredibly talented, dedicated team that focuses on benefiting the lives of patients by bringing the best science and commitment to quality into everything that we do. We seek highly motivated individuals with the dedication, integrity, and creative spirit needed to thrive in our organization.

The Director, Learning and Organizational Development owns Azurity Pharmaceuticals' Capability & Development Framework, designing and delivering the programs that build organizational capability across the colleague lifecycle. The Director is accountable for four of the framework's five pillars — management system fluency, Azurity-specific business training, employee self-development, and business acumen & critical thinking; compliance training is owned separately. Partnering with the Senior Leadership Team, subject-matter experts, and Colleague Experience Business Partners, the Director aligns learning strategy to business priorities and embeds a culture of continuous learning and enterprise thinking, blending instructional-design rigor with strategic vision to keep programs scalable, measurable, and impactful.
