Job description

Join Us as a Learning and Development Specialist!

Are you ready to make a meaningful impact in an innovative, global technology environment? At ORBCOMM, we’re seeking a creative and results-driven Learning and Development Specialist who thrives in a fast-paced, collaborative setting. If you're passionate about enabling others to grow, excel, and succeed—this is your opportunity to turn that passion into action.

Why You’ll Love Working Here :

We’re looking for a passionate learning and development professional with the heart of a teacher and a drive to help others succeed. As a Learning and Development Specialist at ORBCOMM, you’ll create impactful training that empowers global customers and employees to adopt our industry-leading IoT and M2M solutions across sectors like transportation, maritime, and heavy equipment.

You’ll turn complex concepts—like fleet telematics and smart container tracking—into clear, engaging learning experiences using dynamic content, powerful visuals, and professional video. Reporting to the Senior Director of L&D, your work will drive product adoption, customer success, and measurable business outcomes worldwide.

With a flexible hybrid work schedule, you can enjoy the best of both worlds—engaging in-person collaboration at our Ottawa office in Ontario, Canada, while also benefiting from the autonomy and comfort of remote work.

What You’ll Do :

• Conduct learning needs assessments to identify and prioritize employee and customer training initiatives aligned with ORBCOMM’s business objectives.
• Design, develop, and deliver engaging training programs using a variety of modalities—including interactive e-learning, video, live facilitation, and micro-learning.
• Build visually compelling PowerPoint presentations, create training videos with tools like Camtasia or Adobe Premiere, and develop simulations, games, and role-plays for dynamic instruction.
• Facilitate live training sessions (virtual and in-person) for diverse audiences across regions like the Americas, EMEA, and APAC.
• Lead the administration and content development of ORBCOMM University, our Learning Management System (LMS), enhancing usability through HTML / CSS and UX design best practices.
• Customize training programs for specific customer use cases and internal teams, such as product rollouts, sales enablement, or onboarding.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Sales, Marketing, and Engineering teams to ensure training materials are accurate, timely, and aligned with our evolving technology stack.
• Implement methods to evaluate training effectiveness using measurable KPIs (e.g., adoption rates, engagement, ROI).
• Maintain and promote a public-course training schedule for ORBCOMM’s technology platforms, ensuring accessibility for customers and partners across 130+ countries.

Who You Are :

You are a tech-savvy learning professional with an instructional designer’s mind and a teacher’s heart. You know how to translate technical content into real-world learning that sticks.

Qualifications :

• Bachelor’s degree in Instructional Design, Adult Learning, Educational Technology, HR, Business, or related field.
• 3–5 years of experience designing and delivering training in a global technology or IoT environment.
• Advanced PowerPoint design and strong storytelling capabilities.
• Proficiency with eLearning tools (e.g., Articulate 360, Adobe Captivate) and video editing software (Camtasia, Final Cut Pro, or Premiere Pro).
• Hands-on experience managing an LMS (e.g., Moodle, Docebo, Cornerstone), with basic HTML / CSS skills to enhance user experience.
• Strong facilitation skills—both virtual and in-person—with the ability to engage technical and non-technical audiences.
• Knowledge of adult learning theory and instructional design best practices.
• Ability to analyze learning data and performance metrics to continuously improve programs.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Comfortable working with international teams and adapting content for global learners.

Nice to Have :

• Fluency in an additional language (e.g., French).
• Experience with IoT, telematics, asset tracking, or supply chain / logistics industries.
• Certification in instructional design or training delivery (e.g., ATD, CPTD, Kirkpatrick certification).
• Familiarity with change management, organizational development, or performance consulting.
