What You Will Do

1. Lead end-to-end course design, from strategy to content delivery.
2. Guide course narrative with the Executive Producer & Supervising Producer.
3. Write scripts, copy, and educational assets (learning modules, assessments, reflection prompts, supplemental materials).
4. Collaborate with instructors and internal teams to shape cohesive learning experiences.
5. Conduct research to inform course goals, learner personas, and curriculum structure.
6. Translate complex topics into engaging, outcome-driven learning journeys.
7. Iterate based on learner data, feedback, and metrics.
8. Manage feedback and revisions with stakeholders.
9. Coordinate with visual designers and product teams to ensure engaging content.

About You

1. 5+ years in content development, learning experience design, or instructional storytelling, preferably in media, publishing, edtech, or agencies.
2. Exceptional writing and editorial skills with experience producing high-quality content.
3. Ability to design engaging learning experiences across formats (video, written, assessments, interactive).
4. Comfortable working independently and navigating ambiguity.
5. Strong understanding of learner-centered design principles.
6. Experience working with external stakeholders or high-profile experts.
