About the role

In an AI-native environment the product shifts fast new workflows emerge weekly and customers and internal teams surface needs in real time. Someone has to meet those needs at the speed they arise. Thats this role.

As a lead learning experience designer youll own a fast-paced high-volume learning design track focused on short targeted just-in-time courses typically 1545 minutes each built in sprints of three weeks or less shipping roughly 15 courses per year. Youll build focused one-off courses that plug specific gaps: a new workflow a role-specific skill a tool that just shipped an AI topic that cant wait for the next curriculum cycle.

These courses are standalone purpose-built and often shorter-lived responding to the moment. Youll work both proactively (scanning for emerging needs) and reactively (fielding requests from across the company and from customers). The pace is fast the iteration cycles are tight and the environment is dynamic. If youre energized by change comfortable shipping at speed and able to balance strategic proactivity with rapid reactive response this is your role.

In addition youll deliver live and virtual trainings on these topics as needed bringing the same speed and adaptability from your on-demand work into the live environment whether in person or on a webinar platform.

The primary medium for this role is video-based learning. Youll be the voice and face of your own instruction recording voiceover or appearing on camera to teach software and AI topics combined with screencaptures screen recordings and graphics. This is not a role where youll hand off to a video team or rely on AI-generated voice. You are the teacher and your voice is part of the craft.

This role complements our end-to-end learning experience designers who own robust polished curricula built over longer timelines. Youre not integrated within those larger curriculum builds; youre filling the space they cant reach. Your courses are shorter faster and more targeted designed to serve a specific need and plug a gap where the larger curriculum moves too slowly. Think of it as the agile track of the LXD team: smaller scope faster cadence and a bias toward shipping. You wont be building three- to four-hour flagship programs. Youll be building tight high-impact courses that get someone up to speed on a specific thing quickly and then moving on to the next one.

What youll do

• Design and build focused standalone courses typically 1545 minutes in sprints of three weeks or less shipping roughly 15 courses per year across topics that are specific and targeted: particular workflows role-based skills individual tools and timely AI topics that demand a fast response

• Own the full design lifecycle for each course at speed needs analysis design build QA and publish without the extended timelines of end-to-end curriculum work making smart scope decisions about whats essential what can be cut and how to deliver maximum learning value in a compact format

• Deliver live and virtual training on the topics you build with excellence adapting on the fly to audience questions skill levels and industry-specific workflows particularly across WRITERs verticals

• Repurpose content across delivery modes (on-demand to live live to on-demand micro to full) maximizing reach without rebuilding from scratch

• Scan proactively for emerging learning needs by monitoring product changes customer signals and internal feedback and get ahead of them before theyre formally requested while also fielding and triaging incoming requests from across the company and from customers responding quickly with targeted courses that address real surfaced needs

• Balance proactive and reactive work making judgment calls about whats worth building what can wait and what should be deferred or declined and ship at a cadence that keeps pace with the product and the business prioritizing speed and relevance over exhaustive perfection

• Partner with product product marketing customer-facing teams and SMEs to gather what you need quickly and keep courses moving coordinate with end-to-end learning experience designers to avoid duplication and ensure your rapid-response courses complement rather than compete with larger curriculum flag topics that outgrow the rapid-response format and share insights from the fast track to inform the teams longer-term roadmap

• Deep experience creating video-based instructional content where you serve as the voiceover or on-camera talent for your own teaching. You do not rely on AI-generated voice for your training content.

What you need

• 5 years of experience in instructional design learning experience design or a related field with demonstrated experience designing and shipping courses at a fast pace

• Proven ability to design effective learning in compact formats you know how to scope tight cut ruthlessly and deliver high-impact learning in 1545 minutes rather than three to four hours

• Comfort with rapid development cycles and short sprints; youve worked in fast-paced environments and you thrive there rather than burning out embracing the pace of an AI-native environment where the topics youre building for may shift mid-sprint and adapting without losing momentum

• Strong prioritization and triage skills you can juggle proactive and reactive work make tradeoffs and say no when something doesnt warrant a course

• Excellent live facilitation skills youre confident and effective delivering in person and virtually able to read a room (physical or virtual) adapt on the fly and keep learners engaged and youre as comfortable in front of an audience as you are behind a slide deck

• Excellent stakeholder management you can gather what you need from SMEs and partners quickly keep things moving and communicate clearly about expectations with proficiency in standard LXD tools including authoring tools (e.g. Parta) LMS platforms (e.g. Skilljar) slide/presentation tools video production tools and basic design tools

• A portfolio that demonstrates your craft At least 2 video-based course excerpts where you serve as the voiceover or on-camera talent for your own teaching combining your own voice with screencaptures screen recordings and graphics to teach software or AI topics. Static text- and graphics-based samples alone dont demonstrate what this role requires. This is a chance to show us the full breadth of what you can do video graphics interactive elements slide design in-product walkthroughs or any combination but video-based teaching with your own voice should be central.
