About the Position

A Learning Experience Designer (LXD) independently owns detailed learning design, development, production, and quality for assigned workstreams and appropriately scoped projects. The LXD combines mature learning-design judgment with demonstrated AI-enabled and agentic production capability to produce high-quality work with greater speed, scale, consistency, and reliability. On larger, more complex engagements, the LXD collaborates with a Learning Solutions Consultant and project team to translate diagnosed needs and agreed solution direction into detailed learning designs and production-ready experiences. The Consultant retains overall project and client accountability, while the LXD owns detailed learning-design and production decisions within the agreed solution direction. When no Consultant is assigned, the LXD may directly own appropriately scoped projects, maintenance, and updates.

What You'll Do

1. Collaborate with Learning Solutions Consultants, subject matter experts, stakeholders, and project team members to translate diagnosed needs and agreed solution direction into detailed learning designs and production-ready instructor-led, virtual, e-learning, and blended learning experiences.

2. Exercise independent instructional judgment within the agreed solution direction, making detailed design decisions and surfacing tradeoffs that affect learning architecture, scope, learner experience, quality, or outcomes.

3. Design, develop, and maintain facilitator guides, resource guides, job aids, storyboards, e-learning modules, assessments, practice activities, multimedia assets, and related learning materials using appropriate tools, assets, and specialists.

4. Use AI-enabled and agentic production workflows to accelerate drafting, content transformation, asset development, version comparison, and preliminary quality checking. Apply professional judgment rather than accepting AI output without review.

5. Build and deliver final production files in Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Articulate, Sana or successor learning platforms, and other approved production environments.

6. Verify accuracy, source fidelity, instructional soundness, accessibility, usability, visual quality, technical readiness, and compliance before delivery.

7. Independently own appropriately scoped projects and workstreams when no Consultant is assigned, as well as maintenance, updates, large-scale content revisions, and editable source-file handoff.

8. Contribute reusable production practices, AI workflow patterns, templates, and lessons learned that improve speed, consistency, reliability, and reduction of rework and errors.

9. Contribute to assessment, pilot, and evaluation activities using available learner, stakeholder, quality, and performance evidence.

10. Perform other duties as required or apparent.
