• Publish, maintain, and manage learning content within an LMS environment (Cornerstone preferred)
• Partner closely with internal stakeholders, business leaders, and subject matter experts to gather requirements, refine content, validate accuracy, and ensure alignment with business priorities
• Independently manage multiple concurrent learning initiatives, balancing deadlines, dependencies, stakeholder expectations, and competing priorities
• Lead or support train-the-trainer sessions, facilitation efforts, and instructor enablement activities as needed
• Develop clear stakeholder communications, status updates, implementation plans, and learning deployment materials
• Establish learning measurement strategies and track effectiveness using metrics, learner feedback, and evaluation tools such as Qualtrics or similar platforms
• Analyze learning outcomes and continuously optimize programs based on data insights and stakeholder feedback
• Audit and improve existing learning assets to ensure relevance, instructional quality, consistency, and alignment with organizational standards
• Rapidly iterate and adapt learning solutions in response to changing business priorities, stakeholder input, and operational needs
• Utilize project management tools and structured workflows to keep initiatives organized and on track (Jira experience preferred)

What Qualifications You Need

• 3+ years of professional experience in instructional design, learning development, or corporate learning strategy
• Demonstrated experience designing across multiple instructional modalities rather than solely developing eLearning content
• Strong command of ADDIE, ISD frameworks, adult learning principles, and learner-centered design methodologies
