  • Lead or support train-the-trainer sessions, facilitation efforts, and instructor enablement activities as needed
  • Develop clear stakeholder communications, status updates, implementation plans, and learning deployment materials
  • Establish learning measurement strategies and track effectiveness using metrics, learner feedback, and evaluation tools such as Qualtrics or similar platforms
  • Analyze learning outcomes and continuously optimize programs based on data insights and stakeholder feedback
  • Audit and improve existing learning assets to ensure relevance, instructional quality, consistency, and alignment with organizational standards
  • Rapidly iterate and adapt learning solutions in response to changing business priorities, stakeholder input, and operational needs
  • Utilize project management tools and structured workflows to keep initiatives organized and on track (Jira experience preferred)

What Qualifications You Need

  • 3 years of professional experience in instructional design, learning development, or corporate learning strategy
  • Demonstrated experience designing across multiple instructional modalities rather than solely developing eLearning content
