Learning Experience Designer

As a Learning Experience Designer at Wheels, you’ll use curiosity, creativity, and a consultative approach to turn business and performance needs into engaging digital and live learning for employees and customers. You’ll influence learning strategy, partner with subject matter experts, Product Management, and stakeholders to uncover needs, challenge assumptions, and bring the right solutions to life—with meaningful ownership, broad cross-functional exposure, and room to grow your craft. In this role, you’ll help employees and customers build the knowledge and skills to succeed while shaping how learning needs are diagnosed and solutions are selected.

What You’ll Get To Do

• Bring great ideas to the table. Blend instructional design, visual storytelling, technology, collaboration, and experimentation to create useful, engaging learning.


• Design for everyone and improve beyond launch. Apply accessibility and inclusive or universal design principles, then use feedback, assessment, and data to evaluate and improve learning.


• Explore what’s next and strengthen the learning culture. Apply emerging practices and AI‑enabled tools, share expertise, and learn through collaboration.

You might love this role if you...

• Ask thoughtful questions and turn complex information into simple, intuitive experiences.


• Balance big‑picture thinking with hands‑on creation while managing multiple priorities and leaving room for iteration.


• Learn independently, experiment, build new skills, and collaborate to strengthen others’ ideas.


• Welcome feedback, share your perspective, and use learner data to improve your work.
