• Execute content plans and instructional designs created by senior team members and subject matter experts, transforming design briefs into polished, on‑brand learning experiences.
• Maintain assigned content within learning management systems and content repositories, ensuring training materials remain accurate, current, and effective.
• Analyze learner feedback and training metrics to continuously improve content clarity, engagement, and overall learning outcomes.
• Manage multiple content development projects simultaneously while communicating timelines, incorporating feedback, and delivering high‑quality work.
• Leverage AI‑powered tools and modern content creation platforms to increase content throughput while maintaining instructional quality and integrity.
• Champion inclusive and accessible learning experiences that support diverse learners across roles, locations, and experience levels.
• Collaborate effectively with cross‑functional stakeholders while contributing to a culture rooted in learning, teaching, transparency, and continuous improvement.
• Travel domestically up to 10% for internal team gatherings and company events.

Qualifications

• 1–3 years of experience in education, training, or learning‑focused roles such as Instructional Designer, Learning Experience Designer, Training Content Developer, or eLearning Developer.
• Understanding of instructional design fundamentals, including learning objectives, content sequencing, practice activities, and assessments.
• Strong writing, editing, and information design skills with the ability to communicate complex concepts in simple, actionable language.
• Familiarity with accessibility standards and inclusive learning design principles.
• Experience using content creation and learning technologies such as Camtasia, Scribe, Pendo, Navattic, and learning management systems, ideally 360Learning.
• Comfort using AI tools such as Glean, ChatGPT, and AI‑enabled learning platforms as collaborative content development partners.
• Ability to quickly learn new technologies and adapt in a fast‑paced, evolving startup environment.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities, stakeholders, and deadlines.
• Willingness to learn about cutting‑edge technologies while cultivating expertise in the investment management domain.
• An aptitude for problem solving.
• Ability to communicate effectively.
• Serious interest in having fun at work.
