What is a learning director?

Learning Directors are professionals responsible for designing, implementing, and overseeing educational programs within organizations or institutions. They collaborate with stakeholders to identify learning needs, develop curriculum, and ensure instructional effectiveness. Learning Directors also assess program outcomes, manage budgets, and often supervise teams of educators or trainers. Their goal is to enhance employee skills, promote professional development, and align learning initiatives with organizational objectives.

What skills and qualifications are needed to thrive as a learning director?

To thrive as a Learning Director, you need expertise in instructional design, curriculum development, and adult learning principles, typically supported by an advanced degree in education or a related field. Familiarity with learning management systems (LMS), e-learning authoring tools, and relevant certifications like CPLP or ATD are commonly required. Strong leadership, strategic thinking, and excellent communication skills help drive organizational learning initiatives and foster team collaboration. These competencies ensure effective development and delivery of learning programs that align with organizational goals and promote employee growth.

How does a learning director collaborate with other departments to align training initiatives with organizational goals?

A Learning Director often works closely with department heads, HR, and executive leadership to assess skill gaps and ensure training programs support broader business objectives. This collaboration involves regular meetings, needs assessments, and integrating feedback from various teams to tailor learning solutions. By fostering cross-departmental communication, the Learning Director helps ensure that educational initiatives are relevant, impactful, and drive measurable results for the organization.

About Us

Pure Imagination Studios started in 2012 as a diversified entertainment company built by a team of creators who shared a true passion for storytelling. We thrive on imagination, and everything we do is set to bring a tangible experience to anything our clients, partners and even ourselves, are able to imagine. We believe that pure imagination should be the fuel to our reality.

Pure Imagination Labs designs immersive, interactive experiences that make complex training and simulation intuitive, purposeful, and fun. Our projects blend real-time systems, tactile interfaces, and narrative framing to support education, decision-making, teamwork, and user engagement in high-stakes scenarios. We take the best of game design and apply it to real-world learning environments that demand more than just entertainment. The environments are dynamic, the challenges are varied, and the work is as rewarding as it is technically ambitious.

  • Collaborate with technical teams to align creative goals with implementation realities across hardware, software, and physical environments.
  • Work closely with writers, instructional designers, designers, and media teams to ensure all guest-facing elements reflect the intended vision and contribute to a clear, goal-driven experience.
  • Review scripts, treatments, and environment content for alignment with both creative tone and instructional accuracy, providing feedback grounded in guest comprehension and engagement.
  • Create and maintain experience documentation such as scenario maps, guest flow diagrams, tone guides, and interaction breakdowns that clearly communicate intent to technical and production teams.
  • Participate in reviews and walkthroughs to assess guest comprehension, emotional pacing, and the clarity of decision-making or learning outcomes; provide actionable, insight-driven feedback.
  • Identify opportunities to refine or extend guest-facing content while preserving the intent of the established creative and instructional framework.
  • Support production in balancing creative fidelity and content accuracy during implementation, especially in cross-disciplinary or high-complexity builds.
  • Attend on-site installs and rehearsals to validate creative execution and experiential clarity in simulated or instructional environments.
  • Performs other duties as assigned.

Basic Qualifications

  • Associate’s degree or equivalent from two-year college/technical school required.
  • Bachelor’s degree from a four-year college or university is preferred or equivalent combination of education and experience.
  • Minimum 7 to 10 years of experience designing and/or creatively executing immersive experiences for public or professional audiences, including location-based entertainment, enterprise training, or simulation-based environments.
  • Experience with upholding a defined creative and instructional vision through all stages of development, with sensitivity to stakeholders, SME, and institutional priorities.
  • Solid expertise in evaluating scenario-based content for clarity, emotional pacing, and guest comprehension in training and entertainment settings.
  • Strong collaboration and communication skills; able to align creative, technical, production, and SME teams in service of a unified experience.
  • Proficient in tools such as Miro, Figma, Adobe Creative Suite, or similar for experience design and documentation.

Additional Qualifications

  • Proven ability to convert creative direction and learning goals into structured experience documentation, such as flow diagrams, tone guides, and interaction models, that drive cross-functional implementation.
  • Experience with hybrid digital-physical environments and the production realities of simulation, instructional, or experiential media.
  • Experience contributing to content across multiple modalities—physical environments, screen-based interactions, and interactive simulations.
  • Experience working with linear media workflows (e.g., narrative video, motion graphics, media encoding, or editorial review).
  • Flexibility to travel for live staging, install support, and on-site experience validation.
  • Strong verbal and written communication skills, with the ability to interact effectively with internal teams, external vendors, and other stakeholders.
