• Develop learning products that support initial deployment as well as just-in-time, refresher, remedial, and sustainment training.
• Support quality assurance reviews and ensure final learning products meet contractual, program, instructional, accessibility, and technical requirements.

• Expert-level proficiency with Microsoft 365 tools, Articulate Storyline, Vyond, Snagit and LMS platforms.
• Strong understanding of AI and its productive use in instructional design and development.
• Demonstrated ability to conduct task, audience, role, workflow, and performance analyses and translate findings into effective learning solutions.
• Experience developing multiple learning modalities, including instructor-led training, virtual instructor-led training, eLearning, job aids, simulations, and performance-support materials.
• Strong knowledge of adult-learning theory, instructional systems design, performance-based learning, and learner-centered design principles.
• Experience developing role-based training that connects system functionality to the specific responsibilities and tasks performed by different user groups.
• Experience collaborating effectively with subject matter experts, technical teams, instructors, editors, accessibility specialists, project managers, and other stakeholders.
