• Translate business needs into learning objectives and content by working with business partners and subject matter experts to identify performance gaps and turn inputs into usable learning materials.
• Build performance support and digital learning assets including job aids, quick‑reference tools, guides, templates, participant materials, and LMS-ready content that support skill‑based learning.
• Support skills‑based learning design by assisting in mapping content to business, customer, leadership, and professional skills, capabilities and role expectations.
• Improve and maintain learning materials over time by using feedback, learner data, evaluation results, and deployment insights to keep content accurate, consistent, and aligned to team design standards.

The Minimum Qualifications

• High School Diploma
• 2+ years of experience in instructional design, marketing, communications and or a related facilitator experience.

The Ideal Qualifications

• Experience working with subject matter experts to gather content, clarify requirements, validate materials, or simplify complex information for learners.
• Exposure to skills libraries, skills matrices, capability frameworks, or role‑based learning paths.
• Experience supporting Operations, customer service, financial services, insurance, enterprise learning, or regulated business environments.
• Familiarity with a Learning Management System and how content is deployed, tracked or maintained.
