About the role
In this role, you will design and develop learning experiences that directly support the growth and success of a global data center workforce. You will work backwards from the needs of learners, from Day 1 onboarding through career development, to deliver thoughtful, effective, and engaging training solutions.
Responsibilities
- Partner with Instructional Designers, subject matter experts (SMEs), and Program Managers to translate learning designs into polished, production-ready media assets across multiple formats.
- Design and produce high-quality multimedia content including motion graphics, explainer videos, interactive e-learning modules, infographics, illustrations, and animated simulations.

- Apply strong visual design principles (typography, color theory, layout, accessibility) to create engaging learning experiences for a diverse, global audience.
- Develop interactive web-based learning experiences using authoring tools (e.g. Articulate Storyline/Rise, Adobe Captivate) and front-end technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript) where needed.
- Collaborate with the training team, advocate community, and validators to ensure media assets are technically accurate and aligned with learning objectives.
- Use learner analytics, feedback, and A/B testing to refine media approaches and continuously raise production quality.
- Manage a personal production queue of multiple concurrent projects, tracking progress against sprint commitments and delivering assets on time and within scope.
- Apply AI-assisted creative tools and workflows (e.g. generative imagery, automated captioning, AI video editing) to accelerate production timelines and enhance output quality.
