We believe in the power of purpose, the strength of collaboration, and the value of continuous learning.  If you’re ready to make a real impact in a dynamic industry, you bring the energy - we’ll provide the platform.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are excited to have a new role for a Learning Systems Analyst at TransAlta.  This position is a full-time permanent role based out of our Downtown Calgary Head Office, with the flexibility of a hybrid work schedule.

Playing a critical part in shaping how learning is delivered across TransAlta, you’ll bring together enterprise‑level LMS expertise (specifically in Success Factors Learning) and modern instructional design to create impactful, scalable learning experiences.

This role sits at the intersection of systems, content, and governance. As the owner of TransAlta’s learning ecosystem, you will oversee LMS configuration, integrations, data quality, and compliance, while also designing engaging digital learning solutions that directly support business priorities and performance outcomes.

You will be instrumental in establishing and sustaining governance frameworks, standardised processes, and content lifecycle management and ensuring learning remains relevant, accessible, and measurable over time.

Working within a broader L&D ecosystem, this role partners closely with subject matter experts, HR, IT, and external vendors. The focus is on strategic system optimisation, governance, and priority learning initiatives, rather than end‑to‑end production of all learning content.

• Influence adoption of standardised learning systems, processes, and governance frameworks

• Package and deploy learning content using SCORM/xAPI/AICC standards with validated tracking and reporting
• Configure and administer LMS components including catalogues, curricula, programmes, and assignments
• Maintain LMS data integrity, system performance, security, and user access
• Manage LMS integrations with HRIS and other enterprise systems to enable seamless learner experiences
• Establish and sustain BAU processes for intake, prioritisation, and content lifecycle management
• Lead release management, QA, and change control for learning systems and content
• Define and report on learning effectiveness metrics, translating insights into continuous improvement and adoption initiatives

ABOUT YOU

• Hands‑on experience with SAP SuccessFactors Learning is essential
• Bachelor’s degree in Educational Technology, HR, Information Systems, Communications, or a related field
• 5–7 years of progressive experience in enterprise LMS administration and digital learning design, preferably in a corporate or regulated environment
• Proven experience deploying and managing SCORM/AICC/xAPI content, compliance reporting, and audit support
• Experience with modern learning tools such as SAP Enable Now, Articulate Storyline and Rise, Camtasia, or Adobe Captivate
• Advanced proficiency in LMS platforms, including system configuration, reporting, content management, and integrations
• Strong technical knowledge of eLearning standards, HRIS data models, SSO, data privacy, and security protocols
• Solid understanding of instructional design methodologies and adult learning principles
• Strong analytical, project management, and problem‑solving skills, with experience using data and dashboards to drive improvement
• Excellent customer service and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence stakeholders and support change and adoption initiatives

Bonus attributes

• Professional certifications in instructional design, eLearning, or LMS administration are considered strong assets
• Experience applying accessibility standards (WCAG 2.1 AA) and inclusive design practices
