• Collaborates with senior content developers and technical trainers to align artifacts with program battle rhythm, CDAO release calendars, and cross-enclave deployment plans that support Combatant Commands and Joint Staff directorates.
• Reports monthly counts for updated items, micro-lessons, and resolved content defects, and contributes training impact summaries that highlight adoption, completion, and time-to-proficiency gains for WDP programs.
• Performs other duties as assigned.
• Current Secret security clearance with the ability to obtain and maintain a Top Secret (TS) security clearance with Sensitive Compartmented Information (SCI).
• 3-10 years of experience in technical training content development, instructional design, or a closely related discipline within federal, DoW, or enterprise data and analytics platform environments.
• Demonstrated experience producing role-based technical training materials including documentation, quick-reference guides, tutorial videos, and micro-lesson content for complex data or software platforms, with applied experience maintaining content aligned to product release cycles, Service Desk feedback trends, and structured metadata and accessibility standards.
• Strong problem-solving and decision-making capabilities, with a proven ability to weigh the relative costs and benefits of potential actions and identify the most appropriate solution.
• Highly developed interpersonal and oral/written communication skills, with the ability to effectively and professionally interact with a diverse set of stakeholders (from peers to end-users to executive management).
