Facilitate the L&D Project kickoffs and subsequent milestone meetings with Business Sponsors and appropriately engaging other L&D Resources, Subject Matter Experts, Business Stakeholders, and Senior Leaders. Engagement activities include but are not limited to the following: defining the project and business outcomes; reporting project updates; sharing program design/development progress; and gaining necessary approvals.
Conduct discovery activities to determine the desired performance outcomes, performance gaps based on enterprise needs analyses and strategic prioritization, cascading learning objectives that will enable those outcomes, and measurement strategies for demonstrating the achievement of those outcomes.
Determine the most effective learning approaches, techniques, and technologies to efficiently achieve the learning objectives and desired performance outcomes.
Communicate to business stakeholders the clear connections between program content and the desired performance outcomes in achieving business results to gain sign-off.

Produce design documents that appropriately detail the design process and justification for the program.
Develop all program assets and materials including workshop events, facilitation guides, learner workbooks, job aids, etc.
Establish measurement and monitoring plans to ensure effective implementation of all new programs through targeted curriculum mapping and metrics captures.
Collaborate with internal L&D team to implement learning solutions.
Collaborate with L&D leadership and appropriate stakeholders to produce marketing material (as applicable) for new or enhanced learning and skill development programs to package and promote offerings in highly intuitive, digestible, and compelling ways.

You appreciate direct communication. You're both an active communicator and an eager listener-because let's face it, you can't have one without the other. You're cool with candid feedback and see every setback as an opportunity to grow.
You have a "can do" attitude and can pivot on the fly. Our team creates high-quality work on quick and sometimes dynamically changing timelines. Owning a problem doesn't scare you, but rather empowers you to take 100% responsibility for achieving our mission.
You're never tired of learning and always seek to make you and others around you better.
You want to be part of a winning team that is ranked as an organization that excels at learning and human capital development by Training magazine.
