About the Opportunity:
Weâre looking for a Learning Experience Designer to craft a premium, high-impact course for business executivesâone that both educates and entertains. Unlike typical instructional design roles, this position calls for a creative producer and strategic thinker who can shape the vision, strategy, and narrative of a course from concept through execution.
Youâll collaborate closely with instructors, subject matter experts, and internal teams to design a transformative learning journey, and youâll be responsible for writing much of the final course contentâso strong editorial, storytelling, and copywriting skills are essential.
This role is ideal for someone who thrives in ambiguity, thinks like a systems designer, and brings a writerâs precision to educational storytelling.
This is a temporary full time role - 40 hours per week. 4-6 month engagement.
What You Will Do:
- Lead the end-to-end design of the course, from initial strategy to final content delivery
- Guide the course narrative in partnership with the Executive Producer & Supervising Producer
- Own scripting, copywriting, and the creation of educational assets (e.g., learning modules, assessments, reflection prompts, supplemental materials)
- Act as a strategic partner to instructors and the Executive Producer âcollaborating across research, insights, video production, product, and design to shape cohesive learning experiences
- Conduct desk and user research to inform course goals, learner personas, and curriculum structure
- Translate a complex, high-level topic into clear, engaging, and outcome-driven learning journey
- Iterate on the course using learner data, feedback, and performance metrics
- Manage the feedback and revision process across internal and external stakeholders
- Collaborate with visual designers and product teams to ensure learning content is visually compelling, cohesive, and engaging
About You:
- 5+ years of experience in content development, learning experience design, or instructional storytelling, ideally within media, publishing, edtech, or agency environments
- Exceptional writing skillsâyouâre a strong editorial thinker with experience producing high-quality content for external audiences
- Proven ability to design engaging learning experiences across diverse media formats (video, written content, assessments, interactive assets, etc.)
- Comfortable navigating ambiguity and working independently to shape structure and direction with limited inputs
- Strong grasp of learner-centered design principles and the ability to think systematically about how people learn
- Experience collaborating with external stakeholders, clients, or high-profile subject matter experts
Please include your portfolio and relevant writing or content samples.
