Learning Manager Jobs in Forney, TX (NOW HIRING)

The LEAD (Learning Excellence and Development) team, sitting within Returns Operations Excellence (ROE) in Worldwide Returns & ReCommerce (WWRR), is seeking a passionate, detail-oriented, and results-driven Learning Experience Designer (LXD) to own and deliver high-quality virtual learning solutions for our operational workforce across the Relo Network. The LXD carries programmatic ownership of assigned learning programs and training modalities from strategy through delivery, measurement, and ongoing iteration.
This role works independently across multiple client teams and stakeholder groups within WWRR, translating operational realities into engaging, effective, and scalable digital learning experiences. It requires proficiency in Articulate 360, working knowledge of Umbrella as a learning management platform, and the technical fluency to design, build, and manage learning solutions within the Umbrella ecosystem - including in-app training, automated training capabilities, and emerging modalities introduced into the Relo Network.
There are no direct reports in this role. Your impact is achieved through the quality, relevance, and measurable effectiveness of every learning program and solution you own and deliver.
Key job responsibilities
Program Ownership & Management
• Carry end-to-end programmatic ownership of assigned learning programs and training modalities within the Relo Network - from needs analysis through delivery, measurement, and continuous iteration
• Manage program scope, milestones, and stakeholder communication for all owned programs; drive timely decisions and clear blockers proactively
• Own the program roadmap for assigned learning initiatives; sequence work based on business impact and resource constraints
• Provide regular written program status updates to LEAD leadership; write clear standard work for LXD processes and maintain accurate documentation across all owned programs and modalities
• Contribute to OP planning inputs for owned programs as required
Training Modality Design & Platform Development
• Own the design, build, and ongoing management of assigned training modalities within the Relo Network - including in-app training, in-app coaching and refresh experiences, Kindle integrated training, and self-directed learnings
• Design and build Umbrella-compatible training content; identify and implement opportunities to expand Umbrella's training capabilities as new modalities are introduced into the network
• Lead discussions with Program Managers to design and implement automated training solutions; translate complex technical requirements into accessible, effective learning experiences for non-expert audiences
• Manage and implement translation expansion efforts across the network, leveraging available tools and AI to increase language availability at scale
• Partner with technical stakeholders and Program Managers in the analysis, build, pilot, launch, maintenance, and versioning process for new learning products and modalities
• Absorb complex technical and operational information quickly; explain it simply and accurately to non-expert learner audiences
Learning Experience Design & Development
• Conduct complex needs analyses to define business problems, learning objectives, and solution approaches that may not be pre-defined at the outset
• Design and develop virtual, asynchronous learning solutions - including eLearning modules built in Articulate 360, performance support tools, knowledge checks, and job aids - that meet LEAD's publication bar and drive observable behavioral change
• Apply adult learning principles and instructional design best practices throughout the design and development process
• Leverage rapid, agile, and iterative development techniques to create and update content in a fast-paced, frequently changing operational environment
• Lead the QA and review process for all learning solutions you own; recommend improvements to design standards as needed
• Collaborate with operations leaders, subject matter experts, and cross-functional partners to ensure content is accurate, relevant, and operationally grounded
• Build durable, scalable solutions that integrate into WWRR's existing approach to learning and can adapt as the organization evolves
• Leverage AI capabilities to accelerate content development, improve iteration speed, and deliver higher-quality learning solutions; evaluate AI output critically and maintain the publication bar regardless of how content is produced
LMS Administration & Program Health
• Own the configuration and ongoing maintenance of assigned learning programs within Umbrella, including curriculum architecture, dynamic assignment rules, and learner enrollment management
• Perform regular monitoring of active learning assignments to ensure content is accessible, assignments are triggering correctly, and learner records are accurate
• Build and maintain reporting mechanisms that surface learning completion, compliance, and performance data to LEAD and client team leadership
• Diagnose, triage, and resolve LMS issues - including broken assignments, inaccessible content, and enrollment errors - with urgency and minimal escalation
• Maintain clear documentation of platform configurations, curriculum architecture, and known issues to enable continuity
Continuous Improvement & Collaboration
• Regularly review completion data, assessment performance, and learner feedback to identify opportunities to improve content quality and platform effectiveness
• Proactively flag content gaps, platform risks, and emerging learner needs to LEAD leadership before they become operational issues
• Conduct site visits to observe operational workflows firsthand, ensuring learning solutions reflect the real environment of the workforce being trained
• Partner with LEAD to ensure learning solutions are consistent with WWRR-wide standards and best practices
• Contribute to LEAD team initiatives, content standards, and quality assurance processes
• Share best practices with peers and contribute to the continuous improvement of the LEAD team's design and development approach
A day in the life
Your morning might begin with a review of Umbrella program reports - flagging completion trends, identifying gaps in a recently deployed curriculum, and resolving a dynamic assignment that did not trigger correctly for a new cohort. From there, you might shift into design work: building out a new in-app coaching experience in Articulate 360, iterating on a self-directed learning module based on SME feedback, or developing a job aid for a process update that needs to reach the Relo Network quickly. An afternoon might involve a working session with a Program Manager to scope an automated training solution, followed by a translation expansion review to assess which content is ready for multilingual deployment. Throughout the day, you are managing your program roadmap, communicating progress to stakeholders, holding a high bar for everything you build, and proactively surfacing risks before they become operational problems.
