  • Develop and maintain curricula for onboarding and continuing education that support immediate implementation needs and long-term workforce readiness.
  • Partner with UX, program management, product, and technical teams to ensure training reflects actual user workflows and evolving product capabilities.
  • Help define measures of training effectiveness, adoption, proficiency, and readiness.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
  • 7+ years of progressive experience as an adult learning specialist in instructional design, curriculum development, workforce enablement, organizational learning, or a related discipline.
  • Demonstrated experience designing and delivering in-classroom/instructor-led, virtual instructor-led, self-paced, and blended learning programs.
  • Strong knowledge of adult learning principles, instructional design methodologies, performance support, and training evaluation.
  • Demonstrated job aid development experience, including scenario-based learning, Quick Start guides, curricula, and facilitator materials.
  • Ability to translate complex software processes and technical concepts into clear, practical learning experiences.
  • Exceptional facilitation, communication, writing, and stakeholder-management skills.
  • Experience working with subject matter experts and multidisciplinary product or technology teams.
  • Bachelor's degree in Instructional Design, Education, Organizational Development, Learning Sciences, Communications, or a related discipline, or equivalent professional experience.

PREFERRED
Experience supporting federal government, public-sector, defense, homeland security, enterprise software implementation, change management, or technology adoption programs.
