- Design role-based learning architectures, curricula, pathways, and qualification plans that connect job competencies, prerequisite knowledge, on-the-job practice, assessments, and reinforcement to measurable business outcomes.
- Lead end-to-end instructional design for complex technical and professional learning using adult-learning principles; create design documents, storyboards, facilitator guides, learner materials, assessments, and digital learning experiences.
- Convert complex manufacturing concepts and procedures into accurate, accessible learning experiences in partnership with technical experts while maintaining alignment with quality, safety, and document-control requirements.
- Establish measurement plans and success criteria for assigned initiatives. Analyze LMS and workforce data sets to identify participation, completion, proficiency, time-to-competency, recertification, and adoption trends; communicate findings through clear reports or dashboards.
- Maintain data quality for assigned LMS programs, including learning objects, curricula, audiences, assignments, completion rules, equivalencies, and assessment data; investigate discrepancies and coordinate corrections.
- Lead small projects and pilots from discovery through launch and evaluation, managing scope, milestones, risks, stakeholder decisions, and continuous-improvement actions.

- Working knowledge of adult-learning theory, instructional-design models, facilitation practices, accessibility principles, and blended learning approaches.
- Experience administering learning programs and working with LMS data, including assignments, completions, assessments, curricula, audience rules, data validation, and recurring or ad hoc reporting.
- Ability to work with structured data sets using advanced spreadsheet functions and data-cleaning, reconciliation, analysis, and visualization techniques; ability to translate findings into decisions for nontechnical stakeholders.
- Proficiency with common instructional-authoring, collaboration, presentation, and project-management tools.
- Strong consulting, project management, written communication, facilitation, and stakeholder-management skills; able to influence without formal authority and work effectively with technical and operational partners.
