• Utilize authoring and multimedia tools to develop high-quality digital content following brand guidelines.
• Identify innovations in digital learning and provide recommendations for improvements.
• Ensure new initiatives meet stakeholder requirements.
• Occasionally work with external suppliers and internal teams to develop courses and campaigns.

What you’ll bring:

• Experience in instructional design theories for digital learning solutions.
• Proficiency with authoring tools like Articulate Storyline and Rise, and familiarity with SCORM/HTML5 for LMS.
• Graphic design and video editing skills, with experience in Adobe Creative Suite.
• Experience in designing company-wide communications campaigns.
• Strong communication, stakeholder management, and project management skills.
• Some HTML and CMS design exposure.
• Ability to work under pressure, problem-solve, prioritize, and adapt.
• Self-starter attitude with collaborative team working skills.
