- You will scope out learner requirements, create enablement plans based on needs and roles, and make consultative recommendations in terms of format, mode, and timing.
- You will create Bill of Material (BOM) lists from the scope documents, which represent the physical deliverables that will be drafted and produced in support of the requirements.
- You will incorporate a variety of learning delivery methods including classroom, virtual instructor-led training, eLearning or on-demand, and blended learning content.
- You will use program management skills and tools to independently manage multiple small to medium scale projects from initiation through delivery.
- Leverage rapid, agile development techniques and processes to work with the content Design and Development team to create content for a rapidly changing environment.
- You will strive to continually innovate the learning experience, always engineering enablement output based on feedback and changes in hiring practices and/or market conditions.
