In this role, you will:

  • Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to conduct needs analyses and scope learning initiatives that align with business objectives and timelines.

  • Leverage AI-native tools and emerging technologies to accelerate content development and tailor learning experiences to dynamic business needs.
  • Collect feedback from stakeholders and subject matter experts to iterate and finalize training materials.

Minimum requirements for the role:

  • 5+ years of instructional design experience, preferably supporting global customer support teams (e.g., frontline agents, technical specialists, and support leaders).

  • Exceptional attention to detail and strong organizational skills with a track record of managing multiple initiatives at once.

An ideal candidate also has:
