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

- 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

- Design and build Umbrella-compatible training content; identify and implement opportunities to expand Umbrella's training capabilities as new modalities are introduced into the network
- 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
- Partner with technical stakeholders and Program Managers in the analysis, build, pilot, launch, maintenance, and versioning process for new learning products and modalities
- Absorb complex technical and operational information quickly; explain it simply and accurately to non-expert learner audiences
- Conduct complex needs analyses to define business problems, learning objectives, and solution approaches that may not be pre-defined at the outset
- Design and develop 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
- Leverage rapid, agile, and iterative development techniques to create and update content in a fast-paced, frequently changing operational environment
- Lead the QA and review process for all learning solutions you own; recommend improvements to design standards as needed
- Collaborate with operations leaders, subject matter experts, and cross-functional partners to ensure content is accurate, relevant, and operationally grounded
- 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
- Perform regular monitoring of active learning assignments to ensure content is accessible, assignments are triggering correctly, and learner records are accurate
- 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
- Regularly 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
- Conduct site visits to observe operational workflows firsthand, ensuring learning solutions reflect the real environment of the workforce being trained
- 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
