Your Role
Our commercial team is expanding, our product suite is maturing, and the way we enable our people to sell and succeed is becoming a genuine competitive advantage. This is where you come in.
We're looking for a Commercial Content Specialist (Instructional Designer) who wants the opportunity to shape how an entire commercial organisation learns - owning the content, the catalog, and the cadence that keeps our team aligned around things like product positioning, best practices, and brand message. If you're someone who gets energy from building things that matter, who loves turning complexity into clarity, and who wants to see the direct impact of their work in how a team performs - this is the role for you.
You'll sit within the Sales organisation at Swap and report directly to the Commercial Enablement Manager, but this role will be cross-functional by design. You'll be responsible for bringing our enablement content to life - taking design documents and subject matter inputs from across the business and building them into polished, structured learning experiences in our LMS to level up the applicable knowledge within the commercial team.

- LMS management: course creation, course reviews, user administration, certification, support with queries.
Qualifications
- Instructional design experience - proven experience designing outcome-first learning experiences and following instructional design best practices. Familiar with ADDIE method or similar.
- Content authoring - comfortable building course content, whether in an LMS itself or tools like Articulate, Rise, or equivalent.
- Presentation design - building clean, effective slide decks for live sessions (PowerPoint, Google Slides).
- Project & calendar management - coordinating a live learning calendar across multiple stakeholders and topics.
- Writing & editing - translating subject matter expert input into clear, learner-friendly content. Comfortable using AI but knows how to revise its output thoroughly to maintain accuracy, quality standards, and human touch.
Who you are
- Curious & competitive - proactive and self-driven learning to maintain high standard of excellence within your work.
