• Convert instructor-led materials (presentations, facilitator guides, handouts) into engaging, modular online experiences aligned with adult learning best practices
• Develop and produce customer-facing enablement assets, marketing content, user guides, and performance support materials, ensuring branding and visual standards are met
• Apply accessibility standards (e.g., Section 508, WCAG) to all learning content and support institutional, regulatory, or client requirements for inclusivity
• Manage multiple concurrent projects using agile or iterative project management methodologies; communicate clearly and meet delivery commitments in fast-paced environments
• Provide consultation and best-practices guidance to teams deploying multimedia or digital content across functions (training, ops, marketing, faculty, customer experience)

You get bonus points if you:

• Recommend and integrate emerging technology (AI-based tools, gamification, simulations, AR/VR) to enhance learner engagement and more efficient training development
• Are committed to accessibility (Section 508/WCAG) in all digital deliverables
• Are familiar with video servers/hosting (Vidyard), and project management tools (Jira, Confluence, SharePoint, Smartsheet)
• Perform quality assurance reviews, content updates, and continuous improvement based on usability data and learner feedback
• Test and troubleshoot eLearning modules for SCORM/xAPI compliance and cross-platform/LMS compatibility (Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, custom solutions)

We know you have what it takes if you have:

• Deep understanding of adult learning theory (andragogy, experiential learning, microlearning, blended learning)
• Proficient in the ADDIE, SAM, and Agile Learning Design models
• Strong ability to map learning objectives to outcome-driven instructional strategies and assessments.
• Expert-level proficiency with Articulate 360 suite (Storyline, Rise), Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects), Camtasia, Vyond, Final Cut Pro, and Canva Pro
