Responsibilities

  • Carry end-to-end programmatic ownership of assigned learning programs and training modalities within the Relo Network — from needs analysis through delivery, measurement, and continuous iteration
  • Manage program scope, milestones, and stakeholder communication for all owned programs; drive timely decisions and clear blockers proactively
  • Own the program roadmap for assigned learning initiatives; sequence work based on business impact and resource constraints
  • Provide regular written program status updates to LEAD leadership; write clear standard work for LXD processes and maintain accurate documentation across all owned programs and modalities
  • Contribute to OP planning inputs for owned programs as required
  • Design and build virtual, asynchronous learning solutions — including eLearning modules built in Articulate 360, performance support tools, knowledge checks, and job aids — that meet LEAD's publication bar and drive observable behavioral change
  • Apply adult learning principles and instructional design best practices throughout the design and development process
  • Lead discussions with Program Managers to design and implement automated training solutions; translate complex technical requirements into accessible, effective learning experiences for non-expert audiences
  • Manage and implement translation expansion efforts across the network, leveraging available tools and AI to increase language availability at scale

  • Build durable, scalable solutions that integrate into WWRR's existing approach to learning and can adapt as the organization evolves
  • Leverage AI capabilities to accelerate content development, improve iteration speed, and deliver higher-quality learning solutions; evaluate AI output critically and maintain the publication bar regardless of how content is produced
  • Own the configuration and ongoing maintenance of assigned learning programs within Umbrella, including curriculum architecture, dynamic assignment rules, and learner enrollment management
  • Build and maintain reporting mechanisms that surface learning completion, compliance, and performance data to LEAD and client team leadership
  • Diagnose, triage, and resolve LMS issues — including broken assignments, inaccessible content, and enrollment errors — with urgency and minimal escalation
  • Maintain clear documentation of platform configurations, curriculum architecture, and known issues to enable continuity
  • Review completion data, assessment performance, and learner feedback to identify opportunities to improve content quality and platform effectiveness
  • Proactively flag content gaps, platform risks, and emerging learner needs to LEAD leadership before they become operational issues
  • Partner with LEAD to ensure learning solutions are consistent with WWRR-wide standards and best practices
  • Contribute to LEAD team initiatives, content standards, and quality assurance processes
  • Share best practices with peers and contribute to the continuous improvement of the LEAD team's design and development approach

  • Proficiency in Articulate 360, including experience building virtual, asynchronous learning content that meets a defined quality bar
  • Working knowledge of Umbrella as a learning management system, including in-app training capabilities and automated training workflows
  • Experience administering a learning management system (LMS), including curriculum configuration, dynamic assignments, learner enrollment, and reporting
  • Proven ability to conduct needs analyses, define learning objectives, and develop end-to-end learning solutions independently
  • Ability to absorb complex technical information quickly and translate it into clear, accessible learning experiences for non-expert audiences
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to lead discussions with Program Managers and technical stakeholders to design learning solutions
  • Ability to translate complex operational processes into clear, engaging digital learning experiences for frontline associate and leader audiences
  • Experience diagnosing and resolving LMS or content issues independently
  • Experience supporting learning and development for a frontline operations, logistics, or field-based workforce

  • Experience partnering with Program Managers or technical teams (e.g., SDEs, engineers) to design and deliver integrated or automated learning solutions
  • Experience managing translation or multilingual content expansion efforts, including the use of AI-assisted translation tools
  • Demonstrated ability to build and maintain LMS reporting mechanisms that communicate learning performance data to non-technical stakeholders
