Learning Design Specialist

The Real Real is seeking a creative, disciplined Learning Design Specialist to support the Manager of Learning Design in transforming the employee experience and infusing a high-impact learning culture across the organization. This role treats learning as a premium product—designing self-paced, instructor-led, digital, and micro-learning solutions that eliminate operational friction and drive business results.

As a digital storyteller, prompt architect, and deeply collaborative team player, you will leverage UI/UX design and Generative AI to bypass traditional development bottlenecks. You understand that the best performance solutions are never engineered in a vacuum; you will partner cross-functionally with retail, tech, and operations teams to co-create inclusive learning journeys. By utilizing AI to handle the manual drafting, you maintain a continuous growth mindset to focus intensely on Instructional Integrity, Visual Luxury, and User Psychology—ensuring every touchpoint drives clear business impact and reflects our core values.

• Lead the end-to-end digital production of self-paced assets using Camtasia, Canva, and Adobe Creative Suite, ensuring every asset reflects a premium, luxury aesthetic that maintains a consistent "TRR Voice".
• Utilize advanced features within Articulate 360 (Storyline and Rise) to build immersive, interactive digital environments where learners actively do and practice rather than just passively watch.
• Master Google Gemini and NotebookLM to design sophisticated prompts and automated AI Personas (Gems) to rapidly generate high-quality scripts and asset prototypes
• Architect learning journeys that feel invisible by integrating modern performance support tools, job aids, and micro-learning directly into daily workflows to solve business friction at the exact moment of need.
• Act as an internal performance consultant and dedicated team player alongside Subject Matter Experts and enterprise leaders, developing positive, cross-functional relationships to rapidly ground learning materials in proprietary technical documentation and transform raw data into actionable tools.
• Deploy functional Minimum Viable Products (MVPs) within hours of identifying an operational problem, successfully managing multiple fast-paced project streams independently against firm deadlines.

Minimum Requirements:

• 1–3 years of experience in Instructional Design, Digital Experience Design, Learning Technology, or AI engineering within a complex enterprise environment
• AI Literacy & Prompt Engineering:
  Demonstrated capability to integrate Generative AI (such as Google Gemini and NotebookLM) into the instructional workflow for creative brainstorming, script enhancement, workflow automation, and rapid prototyping.
• Mastery of ADDIE, Agile, and Performance-Based Design, with the ability to solve business problems through effective instructional architecture.
• Performance-First Mindset: A deep understanding of how to solve tangible business problems through technology and workflow-embedded interventions rather than strictly content delivery.
• Advanced Portfolio: A demonstrated track record of sophisticated interactivity (specifically within Articulate Storyline/Rise) and high-end visual luxury design. Creative Tool Mastery:
  High proficiency in Adobe Creative Suite (Photoshop/Premiere), Camtasia, Canva, and Articulate (Storyline & Rise)

Preferred Requirements:

• Experience in Luxury, E-commerce, or Tech-enabled industries.
• Strong background in UI/UX Design and digital accessibility standards (WCAG).
