• Manage engagement on course forums and support learner participation.

Evaluation & Continuous Improvement

• Collect and organize session feedback and evaluation survey data.
• Assist with analyzing data and preparing simple summary reports.
• Contribute to improving delivery processes, templates, and learning tools in collaboration with the team.

Standardization & Process

• Follow standard operating procedures (SOPs) for program delivery and documentation.
• Support the maintenance of the Strategisense library of learning tools, templates, and materials.

What We’re Looking For

You are someone who thrives in a detail-oriented, collaborative, and high-integrity environment and enjoys supporting learning experiences for adults in mission-driven sectors.

Minimum Requirements

• 3 to 5 years of experience in Learning & Development or a related field.
• Experience in a consulting or professional services environment.
• Experience preparing session materials, documents, or digital learning tools.
• Proficiency in PowerPoint and Word; strong formatting and template use skills.
• Familiarity with LMS platforms such as Mighty Networks, Thinkific, or similar.
• Exposure to digital whiteboards (Mural, Miro), survey tools (SurveyMonkey), graphic tools (Canva), or project management software (Asana).
• Background or coursework in adult learning, instructional design, HR, or education.
• Experience supporting team-based leadership programs or coaching environments.
• Strong written communication skills, especially in drafting learner emails or instructions.
• Ability to follow SOPs and work independently while managing multiple priorities.

What We Offer

• Flexibility to work remotely and on your own schedule (within core hours).
