Responsibilities Content Design & Development
Lead the end‑to‑end design of learning programs: onboarding, product knowledge, role‑specific skills, and manager development
Build engaging eLearning modules, job aids, facilitator guides, assessments, and blended learning experiences

Apply adult learning principles and instructional design frameworks (ADDIE, SAM, or equivalent) to every piece of work
Build digital learning content using tools such as Articulate Storyline, Rise, Camtasia, or similar platforms
Incorporate real‑world role scenarios and practice opportunities to reinforce learning transfer
Learning Infrastructure
Establish and own our authoring tool workflow and content standards
Partner with our LMS admin to ensure content is well‑structured, easily navigable, and maintained
Build templates and reusable assets that allow the team to produce content faster over time
Collaboration & Stakeholder Management
Partner with HR Business Partners and business leaders to conduct learning needs analysis
Translate business problems into learning solutions and push back clearly when training isn‘t the right answer
Present design proposals and work‑in‑progress to stakeholders and incorporate feedback effectively
Measurement & Improvement

Use learner feedback, completion data, and business outcomes to iterate and improve content
Contribute to building a measurement framework for the wider L&D function

Qualifications
5+ years of instructional design experience, ideally in a SaaS, tech, or professional services environment

Strong grasp of adult learning theory and practical experience applying different design methodologies
Experience conducting learning needs analysis and translating findings into a content plan
Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and work independently without extensive structural support

A portfolio of work that demonstrates range: eLearning, facilitator‑led content, job aids, and ideally some blended programs
Experience in HR software, HCM, or a similarly complex B2B product environment
Familiarity with LMS administration (not a requirement, but useful in our current setup)
Experience building content for both internal audiences and external customers/clients
Some exposure to learning analytics or evaluation frameworks (Kirkpatrick or similar)
