- Experience with LMS administration, xAPI/SCORM, or learning analytics platforms.
- Familiarity with large language model tools (e.g., Claude, ChatGPT) for content generation, summarization, or workflow automation.
- Strong technical aptitude, with the ability to learn new software, systems, and platforms quickly and independently.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with strong attention to detail.

- Partner with SMEs, Lead IDs, and Training Managers across the GDM and FDS portfolios to scope, storyboard, and build training that meets business and compliance needs.
- Evaluate, pilot, and implement AI-powered instructional design tools and workflows to increase development speed and content quality.
- Build modular, future-proof content architectures — including content reuse and single-sourcing — that scale across products and can be updated quickly as tools, products, and requirements change.
- Act as a technical resource for the team, staying current on emerging instructional technology and AI/ML tools, and recommending adoption where it delivers measurable value.
