The Learning Care Talent Development team is seeking an experienced Sr. Instructional Designer to lead curriculum development for one or more programs. This program level leader must be able to think outside the tactical and task execution and be able to see the whole learning landscape for our partners. As they look across this landscape, can design, develop, delivery and strategize to meet business needs for their programs.

Programs consist of the whole curriculum from New Hire to tenured leader and all updates, new work, and maintenance that they may require. While you will have help, the end results and overall program performance will live with this role. Support can be local, or virtual depending on the role’s location and the needs and the projects.

The ideal candidate will be able to apply advanced adult learning theories into a practical application-based training strategy.
