We’re BDO, an accountancy and business advisory firm providing the advice and solutions entrepreneurial organizations need to navigate today’s changing world.

We work with Britain’s economic engine—ambitious, entrepreneurially spirited, high-growth businesses—and directly advise their owners and management teams.

We’ll broaden your horizons

Learning and Development (L&D) is a key enabler of our strategy as an Audit Stream and critical to our success. It supports our ability to attract, develop, and retain talented people who take pride in their work and deliver for our business. Effective L&D underpins quality and productivity by helping our people develop the necessary knowledge and skills to perform their work and reach their personal and professional potential.

Effective L&D requires specialist resources who partner with the Audit Stream to identify training needs and respond appropriately. This involves careful planning, project management, critical thinking, a commercial mindset, and an understanding of regulatory requirements. We also focus on the latest innovations, tools, and technologies to support tailored, relevant, and timely development.

We are excited to offer this opportunity for a talented, high-performing, and ambitious individual to join our Audit Stream L&D team as a Senior Design Consultant. You will support the development of our new curriculum using the latest learning innovations and technology. This role suits those with instructional design experience or a technology background looking to leverage their skills in learning.

• Supporting the design and development of programmatic content using the latest learning design theories, tools, and technology.
• Building and maintaining relationships with content SMEs and other stakeholders.
• Designing, curating, and creating content for the Audit curriculum in collaboration with the authoring team.
• Coaching team members on tools, technology, and instructional design principles.
• Working with Lead Authors and Design Secondees to develop content that leverages the best tools and design thinking.
• Introducing innovative solutions and maintaining engaging digital content using tools like Articulate Storyline, Rise, and Adobe Creative Cloud.

Required skills and experience:

• Background in program development, content design, or related fields.
• Experience in converting face-to-face learning to digital formats.
• Ability to translate learning needs into objectives and outcomes.
• Experience with video production and editing, ideally with Adobe Premiere Pro, After Effects, or similar.
• Experience creating engaging eLearning content with Articulate tools is preferred.
• Proficiency with Adobe Creative Cloud or similar.
