  • Support skill development in instructional design, tools, project management, and stakeholder communication.

Project & Stakeholder Management
  • Partner with business leaders, subject matter experts, and cross-functional teams to scope learning needs and define success criteria.
  • Translate complex business requirements into clear learning strategies and design plans.
  • Manage multiple projects simultaneously, balancing personal design work with team oversight.
  • Communicate progress, risks, and outcomes effectively to stakeholders.

Process, Standards, & Continuous Improvement
  • Establish and maintain instructional design processes, templates, and best practices.
  • Contribute to the evolution of the learning ecosystem, tools, and development workflows.
  • Stay current on learning trends, technologies, and practices; apply relevant innovations where appropriate.

REQUIREMENTS FOR SUCCESS
  • Bachelor's degree in Instructional Design, Education, Learning Sciences, Human Performance, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 5+ years of experience in instructional design or learning experience design roles.
  • 1-3 years of experience leading or mentoring instructional designers or developers (formal or informal people leadership).
  • 1-3 years of experience in retail or related field (or equivalent experience)
  • Demonstrated experience designing and developing end-to-end learning solutions.
  • Proficiency with common instructional design tools and authoring platforms (e.g., LMSs, rapid authoring tools, collaboration tools).
  • Strong project management, organizational, and communication skills.
  • Experience managing a mix of self-produced work and team-delivered projects.
  • Background in performance-based learning, business-aligned training, or large-scale learning programs.
  • Experience working with global or geographically distributed teams and learners.
  • Familiarity with learning measurement and evaluation approaches.
