About The Position

This role sits within the HR L&D team and serves as a shared service across all three pillars (Employee Experience, Career Development, Enterprise Enablement). As a design-first learning professional, this position primarily creates high-quality, scalable learning content—eLearning modules, job aids, learning journeys, and multimedia experiences—that develop Blue Origin employees at all levels.

The role leverages AI-enabled tools to increase content creation throughput and quality.

• Strong visual design skills and familiarity with graphic design software

• Experience designing content for Learning Management Systems
• Comfort facilitating workshops and learning sessions
