This role exists to fundamentally rethink how learning is built using AI to generate content enforce quality standards close learning gaps against role profiles and compress design timelines from months to days.
You will take ownership of foundational work already underway a modular content ecosystem AI-enabled workflows and capability-based learning standards and accelerate it from prototype to production-ready AI-native operations. This role is one of two enabling functions that span all three LDD organizational pillars (Learning Design & Journey Architecture Content Operations & Quality and Learning Innovation) you own the AI-powered infrastructure and systems that make them work as one integrated engine.
Your work directly enables GOLDs unified architecture building the infrastructure and content engine layers that cross-functional teams depend on to deliver learning at scale. This is a transformation leadership role: you will challenge the status quo model what AI-first work looks like and pull LDD and GOLD into the future of learning design.
