• Ensure content is instructionally sound, visually engaging, and accessible for global audiences across technical fields such as advanced manufacturing, supply chains, environmental topics, and health & safety.

Required Skills & Experience

• LMS/LCMS expertise with hands-on experience in planning, acquiring, implementing, and administering learning platforms; ability to quickly learn new systems.
• Learning Project Management experience overseeing eLearning development projects (formal PM certification not required).
• Graphic and Presentation Design skills, including the ability to develop high-quality visuals in Adobe Illustrator or similar tools.
• Strong Instructional Design expertise in eLearning, with proficiency in chunking strategies, interactivity, and adult learning principles.
• Proficiency in authoring tools such as Adobe Captivate, Articulate Storyline 360, or Lectora; ability to recommend and adopt the best-fit tools for new course development.
• Strong communication skills with the ability to work independently, manage multiple priorities, and collaborate effectively across a 12-person communications team.
• Attention to detail and ability to translate complex technical topics into clear, engaging learning experiences.

• Adobe Captivate (with a transition plan to other tools such as Storyline 360 or Lectora).
• Adobe Illustrator and related design software.
• Microsoft Office and other standard collaboration tools.

Work Structure

• Consultant will be part of a 12-person communications team, serving as the eLearning SME and reporting to the team lead.
• Work is independent but highly collaborative, requiring proactive communication and strong prioritization skills.
• Tools and laptop will be provided—consultant does not need to supply their own licenses.

The pay range for this is $55.00 to $60.00 per hour on a W2 basis. Individual pay is determined by a number of factors, including but not limited to skill set, depth of experience, relevant education, certifications and specific work location.
