What You'll Bring:

• 5+ years of experience in learning experience design, instructional design, or related field
• Proven ability to design across multiple modalities and formats (digital, live, experiential)
• Demonstrated experience using AI tools to create or enhance learning assets (e.g., content generation, video creation, simulations, personalization)
• Strong portfolio showcasing innovative, engaging learning experiences (not just slide-based training)
• Ability to translate complex concepts into clear, compelling, and actionable learning experiences
• Experience designing for sales, leadership development, or performance-based roles (insurance/financial services experience preferred)
• Proficiency with learning technologies such as Articulate Storyline, Rise, Scribe, HeyGen, Premier, and other modern authoring tools and technologies
• Advanced skills in PowerPoint and content design tools; familiarity with multimedia and video tools is a plus
• Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment
• Experience working independently and collaboratively with cross-functional teams

What Sets You Apart
