You will design and develop facilitator-led materials, participant resources, and leader tools that align tightly with business priorities and learning objectives. A key focus of this role is ensuring instructional integrity across all assets—creating a seamless, engaging, and application-focused learning journey.

This role is ideal for someone who combines deep leadership development expertise with strong instructional design capability and thrives in collaborative, fast-paced environments.

• Translate leadership development architectures into high-quality learning assets, including facilitator guides, participant materials, and practical leader tools

• Develop clear, compelling, and structured content tailored to diverse leadership audiences
• Partner closely with Learning Architects, Graphic & Media Designers, and Project Managers to deliver integrated solutions
• Support rapid prototyping and iteration, using feedback to refine and enhance program effectiveness
• Contribute to scalable solutions that can be deployed across enterprise and functional groups

• Deep expertise in leadership development, with the ability to engage meaningfully with content—not just format
• Strong foundation in instructional design principles, with proven experience ensuring end-to-end instructional integrity
• Demonstrated ability to translate learning architectures into high-quality deliverables
• Experience creating facilitator guides, participant materials, and leader-facing tools
• Strong capability in learner experience design, with a focus on engagement and application
• Excellent content development and writing skills, with the ability to simplify complex concepts into practical learning
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively within cross-functional teams

• Experience in a design or capability lead role (vs. purely operational roles)
• Proven track record of designing solutions at scale across enterprise environments
• Familiarity with modern and AI-enabled design tools and workflows

• Thrives in ambiguity and can translate broad ideas into structured, testable solutions
• Balances rigor with creativity, ensuring both quality and engagement
• Walk through a leadership program they have designed end-to-end, including business context and design decisions
