Finance Learning Content Developer Intern Job West Hartford area,Connecticut USA,Education / Teaching

As the Fall 2026 Finance Learning Content Developer Intern, you’ll be integral to our work in helping vulnerable children achieve a brighter future.
You will partner with the Finance Division to design and deliver a series of engaging, agency-wide training sessions that help non-finance colleagues confidently navigate our financial management system, read budget vs. actual reports, submit invoices and expense reports, and understand the annual budget process.
By making finance accessible to every department, you will free up colleagues across Save the Children to spend more of their time on what matters most — programming that improves children’s lives.
You will work alongside experienced finance leaders, content owners, and the People & Culture team to build a sustainable learning library that lives on long after your internship ends.
Content design and curriculum development (45%) — Translate complex finance topics (financial management system navigation, budget vs. actual reporting, requisitions and invoice submission, expense reports, the annual budget process, donor-restricted vs. unrestricted funding, project coding, and fiscal year-end close) into 60‑minute training sessions designed for non‑finance audiences using adult‑learning principles.
Training materials production (20%) — Build visually engaging slide decks, screen‑recorded walkthroughs, and printable one‑page job aids using agency‑approved templates and the training software specified by People & Culture; ensure all content meets accessibility standards (Section 508, closed‑captioning ready) so it can be used by every colleague across the agency.
Subject matter expert coaching and rehearsal (10%) — Prepare each business process owner to deliver their session confidently; run rehearsals, develop FAQ scripts based on anticipated questions, and provide constructive feedback on delivery, pacing, and clarity so finance colleagues who are not natural trainers can present effectively.
Cornerstone learning portal partnership (10%) — Partner with People & Culture to develop process to post recorded sessions to Cornerstone, set up learning paths, and tag content for discoverability; track view counts, completion rates, and learner feedback in Cornerstone analytics on a recurring cadence.
Measurement and continuous improvement (5%) — Build a simple dashboard tracking attendance, view counts, knowledge‑check pass rates, and qualitative feedback themes; provide monthly summary reports to Finance Division leadership and surface improvement opportunities for future content.
Documentation and knowledge transfer (5%) — Maintain a content library of source materials, templates, scripts, and recordings; produce a handover document so the Finance Division can sustain and refresh the training program after the fellowship ends.
