This is not a traditional content production role. You will manage end-to-end learning design projects, collaborate with business leaders, and partner with subject matter experts to diagnose needs, design evidence-based solutions, and facilitate engaging learning experiences across regions.
Your Core Responsibilities:
- Lead the design and adaptation of learning programs for diverse audiences, applying best practices in adult learning and personalization strategies
- Use feedback and program evaluation methods to systematically refine experiences
- Conduct needs analysis and discovery sessions to identify performance gaps, learning opportunities, and recommend AI-driven learning analytics solutions
- Develop a range of learning assets & experiences-including eLearning modules, practice labs, immersive workshops, multi-day experiential learning programs, job aids, one-pagers, assessments, and facilitator guides- from concept to deployment, ensuring accessibility and inclusivity
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams and subject matter experts to ensure content accuracy, relevance, and instructional quality
- Manage project timelines, deliverables, and stakeholder communications for multiple concurrent projects, demonstrating adaptability and influence
- Ensure all learning content adheres to organizational learning philosophy, technical specifications, and brand guidelines, with a focus on global audiences
- Stay current with emerging learning technologies, tools, and trends, and recommend innovative approaches
Your Skills and Experience
- Minimum 5 years of experience learning or instructional design with proven ability to conduct thorough needs assessments to inform solution design; experience supporting diverse or global audiences is an asset
- Bachelor's Degree in Instructional Design, Human Performance Improvement, Learning Technology, or a related field is required; equivalent professional experience will also be considered
- Advanced proficiency with digital authoring tools (e.g., Articulate Storyline, Rise, or equivalent), AI video creation tools (e.g. Synthesia), and learning management systems (e.g. Docebo)
- Proven ability to align learning solutions with business outcomes, especially in performance-driven environments
- Strong communication, organization, and project management skills to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders, with demonstrated adaptability and stakeholder influence
- Demonstrated curiosity and initiative in exploring emerging learning technologies, tools, and design trends (e.g. microlearning, gamification, adaptive learning).
- Portfolio of work demonstrating measurable impact and innovation in learning design
- Facilitation experience - Proven ability to facilitate engaging sessions for groups of 10-50 people across different formats (e.g. in-person workshops, virtual sessions, hybrid experiences)
- Learning science foundation - Working knowledge of adult learning principles (e.g. andragogy, social learning theory, cognitive load theory) and ability to apply them to program design
- Evaluation mindset - Experience using feedback, surveys, and learning analytics to assess program effectiveness and drive iterative improvement
- Ability to thrive in a dynamic, high-output, and occasionally ambiguous environment
You Are
- A learner-centered designer. You start with understanding your audience - their prior knowledge, their needs, their anxieties - and design backwards from the outcomes they need to achieve.
- Evidence-informed. You make design decisions based on learning science research and data, not just intuition or convention, and can articulate the "why" behind your approaches.
- Low ego and execution-focused. You value impact over visibility, take pride in enabling others' success, and deliver high-quality work consistently.
- You understand that effective development experiences aren't just information transfer; they're about building confidence, connection, and capability through evidence-based design
- You can articulate why spaced practice matters, design for cognitive load, and translate complex organizational knowledge into engaging learning experiences.
