Leveraging learning technology to enhance accessibility, engagement, and data-driven insights
Measuring impact through KPIs and analytics that demonstrate ROI and drive continuous improvement
Partnering across the organization to identify skill gaps and deliver consistent, scalable training experiences globally
Create learning experiences, materials, and curricula in collaboration with external consultants to ensure solutions are effective, engaging, and aligned with the needs of various lines of service
Who You Are:
A self-starter who is comfortable navigating ambiguity, loves building programs from scratch and can bring clarity and structure to existing frameworks
Experienced in skill-based, compliance and professional L&D with a background in life sciences, healthcare, or technical education
Skilled in curriculum design and adult learning principles
Comfortable both strategizing and executing—you can design training architecture in the morning and deliver a workshop that afternoon
A natural collaborator who influences across departments and levels
Passionate about empowering others to learn, grow, and innovate
What You Bring:
Bachelor's degree in Instructional Design, Educational Technology, or related field
2–5 years developing eLearning and digital training content (healthcare, life sciences, or clinical research preferred)
Strong project management and stakeholder engagement skills
Knowledge of adult learning theory, instructional design models, and accessibility standards
Excellent attention to detail with strong design and editing skills
GCP/GLP expertise highly advantageous
Ability to travel 10%+ domestically and internationally
