Elearning development lead

Limestone Learning is looking for one or more experienced Metro Vancouver-based elearning development leads to join our team. This role is a blend of individual contribution and team leadership and will continue to evolve as we grow. Our team members typically work on contract on a per-project basis, though this role should feature work on a steady stream of projects and could be considered for a full-time employment arrangement for the right candidate.

• Proven experience designing creative learning solutions and developing them using Articulate Storyline and Articulate Rise.
• Excellent English communication skills — both written and oral.
• Experience managing an elearning development team.
• Capable of working effectively to a timeline and budget.
• Located in the Metro Vancouver area.
• Note:
  
  work is primarily remote; however, the successful candidate must be able to attend occasional in-person meetings locally.

• Designing and executing deliverables (instructional design plans, outlines, storyboards, voiceover scripts, course builds, etc.) that align with scope and are realistic, thorough and complete.
• Assessing source materials for each project to understand the core intent, identify gaps, and gather questions.
• Working with team members, clients and subject matter experts to close content gaps and establish learning architecture.
• Bringing each project to life through instructionally sound, creative, and immersive design.
• Working with graphic designers to establish appropriate design templates and carrying these through in project builds.
• Following company and client processes and standards.
• Managing work time effectively, tracking hours and meeting deadlines.
• Maintaining a high level of attention to detail: developing materials that are grammatically correct and error-free, listening to and delivering on client’s true needs.
• Troubleshooting technical issues related to development tools and content delivery platforms.
• Participating in project planning and scoping, while working closely with project managers to keep them informed regarding project scope and timeline.
• Providing instructional design leadership on projects; reviewing deliverables of other team members and giving feedback with clarity and tact.
• Receiving feedback from internal and external sources in a professional manner and integrating it into project deliverables.
• Communicating effectively with all project team members.
• Providing exceptional customer service to internal and external stakeholders.

• A minimum of five years of successful experience designing and developing elearning, including developing to meet WCAG 2.1 AA standards.
• Strong knowledge of instructional design methodologies and approaches.
• Proven ability to develop successful courses using elearning authoring tools, such as Articulate Storyline, Articulate Rise, Adobe Captivate, Camtasia and Vyond.

• Familiarity with SCORM technical standards and learning management systems (LMS).
• Proficiency using scheduling, productivity and communication tools, including Gantt charts, spreadsheets, and conferencing systems.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office applications including Word and PowerPoint, particularly as used in the development of instructional content.
• Successful experience creating and working to project budgets and timelines.
• Exceptional troubleshooting and problem-solving abilities.
• Strong English writing and editing skills. French language skills also an asset.
• Previous experience managing and supervising fellow team members.
• Previous experience working directly with clients.
