About The Position

We are seeking a highly creative and detail-oriented Advanced Training/Certification Lead to oversee the development and implementation of visual design strategies for advanced training courses, certification programs, and eLearning modules. This role blends visual design leadership with instructional collaboration, ensuring that all training content is engaging, accessible, and aligned with organizational standards and federal requirements. Come break things (in a good way). Then build them smarter. We're the tech company everyone calls when things get weird. We don’t wear capes (they’re a safety hazard), but we do solve high-stakes problems with code, caffeine, and a healthy disregard for “how it’s always been done.”

• Bachelors Degree or equivalent experience
• 8+ years of relevant experience in training delivery, instruction, or education.

• Proficiency in classroom management and training coordination.
• Familiarity with Learning Management Systems (LMS) for organizing and delivering course content.
• Ability to evaluate training effectiveness through feedback and training analysis.
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills for engaging with both internal and external stakeholders.

Nice To Haves

• Proven ability to resolve complex training challenges using analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Experience mentoring or training junior-level staff or support employees.
• Strong presentation and facilitation skills, with the ability to adapt style to diverse audiences.

• Oversee the production of infographics, storyboards, motion graphics, and simulations that enhance learner engagement.
• Provide creative direction, technical guidance, and quality assurance for a team of graphic designers.
