Sr Learning Designer; Virtual

About The Position

A Senior Learning Experience Designer (SLXD) serves as a senior individual contributor and recognized learning-design expert, independently leading design and production for complex, high-impact, or ambiguous work. The SLXD combines advanced learning-design judgment with demonstrated AI-enabled and agentic production capability. On larger, more complex engagements, the SLXD collaborates with a Learning Solutions Consultant and project team to translate diagnosed needs and agreed solution direction into effective learning experiences.

The Consultant retains overall project and client accountability, while the SLXD leads the learning-design workstream and exercises advanced instructional judgement. When no Consultant is assigned, the SLXD may directly own appropriately scoped complex projects. The role has no direct reports or formal people-management responsibility.

• Lead learning-design work streams for complex, high-impact, or ambiguous initiatives, collaborating with Learning Solutions Consultants, subject matter experts, stakeholders, and project team members to translate diagnosed needs and agreed solution direction into effective learning experiences.
• Exercise advanced instructional judgement and make complex learning-design decisions. Advise the project team on design, feasibility, quality, delivery, and learner-experience tradeoffs, escalating decisions that materially affect the integrated solution or client commitments.

• Resolve difficult production, workflow, prioritization, and recovery challenges while maintaining source fidelity and readiness.
• Lead complex quality reviews for accuracy, instructional soundness, accessibility, usability, visual quality, technical readiness, and compliance.
• Independently own appropriately scoped complex projects when no Consultant is assigned, as well as complex or large-scale content maintenance and updates.
• Establish, refine, and scale learning-design, production, AI-workflow, template, and quality practices that improve capability, speed, consistency, reliability, and reduction of rework across the team.
• Serve as a sounding board and mentor for Learning Experience Designers through peer consultation, feedback, demonstration, and shared problem solving. This role has no direct supervisory responsibility.
