• Exceptional communication skills with the ability to build strong relationships with technical teams and translate complex topics for a general audience.
• Candidates must provide a digital portfolio demonstrating interactive e-learning samples, video production/editing work, and visual design capabilities.

• Ensure all digital assets are fully optimized for accessibility (ADA/WCAG compliance), responsive across devices, and seamlessly integrated into our LMS/LXP environments (using SCORM, xAPI, and modern metadata/taxonomy standards).
• Partner closely with subject matter experts (SMEs), IT, and business leaders to diagnose performance gaps and translate technical workflows into intuitive, learner-centric training.
• Monitor and analyze learning analytics and feedback. Use data to continuously iterate on content, ensuring our programs remain highly effective, engaging, and aligned with business goals.
