The Role

We are looking for a Learning Experience Designer to join our Talent Development team as we build our learning ecosystem from the ground up. 

This is a hands-on role for someone who loves turning ideas into fully realized learning experiences. Our team is small, fast-moving, and in active build mode; developing programs, courseware, and experiences that support employee growth across the company. 

The ideal candidate is a builder and do-er: someone who can take a rough concept, collaborate with subject matter experts to gather content, design the right learning approach, and develop a polished learning experience. This may include self-paced digital learning, blended programs, cohort-based experiences, or live virtual training. 

This role will also have opportunities to facilitate learning experiences, collaborate directly with learners, and help shape how learning evolves across the organization.

Responsibilities

• Create engaging, modern learning content across formats: e-learning modules, job aids, instructor-led materials, video, and blended programs 
• Autonomously lead the end-to-end design process from curriculum planning through development. Apply instructional design principles (ADDIE, SAM, or similar) to translate complex topics into clear, compelling learning journeys 
• Develop engaging, media-rich courseware using tools such as Articulate Rise, Storyline, Google Slides and Sana Live and Sana Create 
• Leverage AI tools to accelerate content development, personalize learning pathways, and experiment with emerging modalities 
• Collaborate closely and effectively with subject matter experts across the business to identify learning needs, design targeted solutions, and develop and test solutions
• Collaborate closely with a small, high-impact team and contribute as needed, including shared responsibilities across training facilitation,LMS management and administration,TD communication drafting and launch support and learner support and troubleshooting
• Establish baseline metrics and build dashboards to report on learning outcomes and program ROI 
• Use data to continuously iterate on content quality, learner experience, and business alignment
• Conduct needs assessments and gap analyses to proactively identify development priorities 
• Champion a culture of evidence-based learning across the organization

Desired Skills & Experience 

• 5+ years of instructional design experience, ideally within a SaaS, tech, or high-growth environment 
• Demonstrated experience building L&D programs or functions from an early stage; you know what it means to be a founder of a team 
• Hands-on experience with Sana LMS or a comparable tool 
• Owning designing and building end-to-end learning experiences, from concept to delivery 
• Experience designing self-paced digital learning and virtual instructor-led training
• Experience with curriculum design, storyboarding, and learning content development
• Strong writing and communication skills, with the ability to translate complex topics into clear learning experiences 
• Experience partnering with subject matter experts to develop learning content
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, evolving environment where priorities may shift 
• Strong command of AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Synthesia, Articulate AI) to accelerate and elevate learning design 
• Proficiency in e-learning authoring tools such as Articulate Storyline, Rise, or equivalent 
• Data-driven: You define success in measurable terms and are comfortable building reporting from scratch 
• Builder mentality: You're energized by ambiguity, not paralyzed by it 
• Collaborative and consultative: You earn trust with stakeholders by understanding their needs before designing solutions
• Curious and current: You stay ahead of trends in learning technology and AI-enabled development
• Detail-oriented with a bias for quality, but pragmatic enough to ship and iterate
• A collaborative mindset and willingness to jump in wherever the team needs support

Bonus Points

• Experience working with Sana LMS and Sana Create 
• Experience facilitating virtual training sessions 
• Experience designing cohort-based and blended learning programs 
• Experience building Google Slides-based training decks 
• Previous experience in a Learning and Development or Talent Development function
