As featured in The Economist, Wired, and The New York Times, GA offers training in web development, data, design, business, and more, both online and at campuses around the world. Our global professional community boasts 60,000 full- and part-time alumni - and counting. In addition to fostering career growth for individuals, GA helps employers cultivate top tech talent and spur innovation by transforming their teams through strategic learning. More than 21,000 employees at elite companies worldwide have honed their digital fluency with our upskilling and reskilling initiatives. GA has also been recognized as one of Deloitte’s Technology Fast 500, and Fast Company has dubbed us leaders in World-Changing Ideas as well as the #1 Most Innovative Company in Education.\nGA is at the leading edge of creating practical solutions to one of the most pressing challenges of our time - the future of work. As recognized by The World Economic Forum, BCG, the OECD and more, these are big challenges to which only a few companies are offering real solutions. In this role, you'll be speaking every day to corporate leaders who rely on GA to help them apply these solutions to their workforce of the future. \nAs a Lead Learning Experience Designer (LED), you will be responsible for designing, developing, and contextualizing high-quality GA learning programs for enterprise, technical, and professional audiences. This role requires strong learning experience design knowledge, excellent program development and project management skills, and hands-on fluency with AI tools and emerging workplace technologies.\nYou will create practical, outcome-driven learning experiences that help learners build relevant skills and apply them with confidence in real workplace contexts. Because AI is increasingly embedded across GA programs and client needs, you should understand how modern AI tools are actually used in the workplace and be able to translate that fluency into applied activities, labs, simulations, facilitator guides, assessments, and client-specific adaptations. \nWhile this role will contribute significantly to GA’s AI-enabled and emerging technology portfolio, it is not a purely AI curriculum role. The core responsibility is to create scalable, high-quality GA programs that meet learner needs, client goals, market expectations, and GA’s instructional standards.\nYou will project manage and collaborate with subject matter experts, instructors, product managers, learning designers, assessment specialists, vendors, and client-facing teams to create learning experiences that reflect current market needs, emerging capabilities, and practical workplace application.\nTerms and Details:\nThis is a flexible, contractor position on a 2 or 3 month term\nWe would expect someone to provide 30

instructor enablement materials to support live classroom training delivery, including facilitator guides, run-of-show documents, learner workbooks, real-world case studies, tool setup instructions, troubleshooting guidance, and activity facilitation notes.\nProvide guidance to instructors on best practices for applied, interactive learning, including live tool demonstrations, coaching, discussion facilitation, learner support, applied exercises, and technology-supported problem solving.\nWork closely with instructors, learning facilitators, and client teams to tailor learning programs for diverse audiences, including enterprise clients, startups, government organizations, technical teams, business leaders, and cross-functional employee populations.\nEnsure instructors are
