Uncover learning and performance needs, translate them into measurable objectives, and design learning journeys that build knowledge and skills over time.
Create meaningful practice through scenarios, simulations, assessments, and other interactive experiences rather than relying on passive content.
Strong visual and UX design judgment and understand how typography, hierarchy, layout, and visual storytelling can make learning clearer and easier to navigate.
Experience with rapid authoring tools such as Articulate 360, Captivate, Lectora, or similar platforms, along with design tools such as Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, Canva, or equivalent.

Use learner feedback and data to evaluate effectiveness, iterate on your work, and connect learning experiences to meaningful outcomes.
Communicate complex ideas clearly and collaborate effectively with subject-matter experts, leaders, and cross-functional partners.
Comfortable navigating ambiguity, balancing multiple priorities, and taking ownership from an early idea through a polished learning experience.
A degree in instructional design, learning sciences, education, human-computer interaction, or a related discipline, or equivalent practical experience.
