What You Will Be Accountable For

Design and develop learning solutions across multiple modalities, including eLearning, ILT, VILT, microlearning, job aids, videos, and performance-support materials.

Apply ADDIE, Instructional Systems Design (ISD), and adult-learning principles to create engaging, learner-centered solutions aligned with organizational goals.
Develop interactive digital learning content using Articulate 360, including Rise, and related learning-development technologies.
Publish, maintain, organize, and manage learning content within an LMS environment, with Cornerstone experience highly preferred.
Partner with stakeholders and subject matter experts (SMEs) to gather requirements, validate content, manage reviews, and ensure learning solutions accurately address business needs.
Independently manage multiple learning projects and workstreams, including project plans, milestones, deliverables, stakeholder expectations, timelines, and competing priorities.
Facilitate instructor-led learning sessions and train-the-trainer programs, providing facilitators with the materials and guidance necessary for successful delivery.
Establish, track, and analyze learning metrics, learner feedback, and other performance indicators to evaluate program effectiveness and identify opportunities for continuous improvement.
Utilize tools such as Qualtrics or similar platforms to collect and analyze learner and stakeholder feedback.
Review and audit existing learning content to identify opportunities to improve quality, relevance, learner engagement, accessibility, and alignment with instructional design standards.
Develop clear and concise communications, presentations, and supporting materials to maintain stakeholder alignment and communicate program progress, recommendations, and outcomes.
Rapidly develop, iterate, and pivot learning solutions in response to changing business priorities, stakeholder feedback, and operational requirements.
Collaborate across departments and functional areas to support large-scale and cross-functional learning initiatives within a complex enterprise environment.
