  • Collaborate with SMEs and stakeholders to gather accurate information, validate content, incorporate feedback, and maintain version control and governance of training assets and knowledge resources
  • Evaluate training efficacy using assessments, feedback, learner analytics, performance metrics (e.g., quality scores, handle time, first-contact resolution, claims accuracy), iterate based on data and business results
  • Support change management by creating rollout communications, reinforcement materials, leader toolkits, and just-in-time resources for process/system updates, new products, or regulatory changes

What You'll Bring
  • Bachelor’s Degree in Instructional Design, Education, Curriculum Development, Adult Learning, Communications, Human Resources, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
  • 5 years of experience designing and developing training content/curriculum, preferably for insurance claims/policies, call centers or similar customer facing teams

  • Hands-on experience with eLearning authoring tools (e.g., Articulate Storyline/Rise 360, Adobe Captivate), multimedia/video tools, Microsoft Office/Google Workspace, and Learning Management Systems (LMS)
  • Experience in insurance claims handling, customer service operations, call centers, or related regulated industries preferred
  • Familiarity with process mapping, knowledge management platforms (e.g., Confluence, SharePoint), and integrating training directly with operational tools/workflows
  • Background creating content tied to business KPIs (quality, efficiency, customer experience, compliance, time-to-proficiency) and supporting change management or system rollouts
