• Quality & compliance: Apply Takeda’s instructional standards and adult learning best practices; ensure content quality, accessibility and correct use of corporate branding, policies and any regulatory requirements.

• Delivery support: Support live sessions (facilitation support, train-the-trainer), office hours, and champion programs; prepare facilitators and maintain facilitator materials.

• Tooling & production: Author and maintain content in Bloom and in authoring tools (e.g., Articulate/Storyline, Adobe Captivate or equivalent); prepare basic multimedia (video edits, captions) or coordinate with vendors where required.
