Job Description

Job Description

We are seeking a Learning Experience Developer who builds learning that changes what people do at work. This role is not about turning content into slides or clicking through templates. It is about designing digital learning experiences that help people practice real decisions, focus on what matters most, and apply learning on the job.

You will partner closely with Instructional Designers and stakeholders to bring learning strategies to life using Articulate and NovoEd. You will make thoughtful design choices based on how people learn, not just how tools work. The goal is simple. Build learning that is clear, engaging, and effective so learners can perform better in their roles.

About the Role

We’re looking for a forward-thinking creative partner to help make our learning experiences modern, engaging, and effective. This contractor will design graphics, animations, and interactive Storyline modules that make complex concepts simple, clear, and visually compelling. This is a fully remote role with the opportunity to directly shape high-impact learning experiences.

Job Summary

As a Learning Experience Developer, you will build digital learning experiences that shape how people think, practice, and perform at work. You will use Articulate and NovoEd to translate strong learning designs into clear, focused experiences that respect learners’ time and support real job performance.

This role is for someone who cares about craft. You will make intentional decisions about layout, interaction, and media based on how people learn, not trends or templates. Your work will directly influence what learners notice, understand, and remember.

Responsibilities

o Partner with Instructional Designers and stakeholders to co-create digital learning solutions that support real job tasks and performance.

o Translate learning strategies into active learning experiences using Articulate and NovoEd, with a focus on practice, decision-making, and application.

o Design interactions that require learners to think, choose, and reflect rather than passively consume information.

o Apply evidence-based learning and multimedia principles to guide attention, reduce cognitive load, and support understanding and retention.

o Make intentional design decisions about layout, visuals, media, and interaction based on how people learn, not templates or trends.

o Build learning experiences that prioritize clarity, relevance, and ease of use for the learner.

o Review content critically and ask thoughtful questions to improve learning effectiveness and alignment to performance goals.

o Prototype, test, and iterate learning experiences based on feedback and observed learner needs.

o Maintain high quality standards across development, including accuracy, functionality, and learner experience.

Qualifications

Education and Experience Education: Bachelor's Degree (accredited) in Adult Learning, Human Performance, Instructional Design, Learning Experience Design, Educational Technology, Computer Science, UX Design, Digital Media, or a related field required. Experience: Seven (7) years of prior work experience

Other Knowledge, Skills or Abilities Required:

· Strong, diverse portfolio of interactive, scenario-based, or practice-focused learning experiences built using a variety of tools and techniques.

· Experience working with authoring tools in Articulate, NovoEd, and Axonify.

· Experience working with AI tools, web development (e.g., HTML/CSS, JavaScript), or no-code/low-code platforms (e.g., Webflow, Glide, Zapier) to enhance learning design and delivery.

· Focused on maximizing impact with minimal effort to balance creativity with practical constraints to deliver both innovative and compliance-driven solutions as required.

· Tackle ambiguous or shifting priorities with a “put me in coach” attitude, taking ownership of projects and delivering results.

· Collaborative, nimble, and able to contribute to a scrappy, intentional team culture that values experimentation and learning from every project.

· Understanding of how people learn and how design choices affect attention, memory, and transfer.

· Strong attention to detail and pride in producing high-quality work.

Team Interactions :

  • Work closely with the Learning Experience (LX) team and the Learning Leadership team to understand project goals, content requirements, and design expectations.
  • Collaborate with instructional designers to ensure visuals, animations, and Storyline interactions support performance outcomes.
  • Partner with subject matter experts (SMEs) to clarify content, gather assets, and ensure accuracy.
  • Communicate with project managers to track timelines, milestones, and deliverables.
  • Provide updates and incorporate feedback from key business partners to ensure designs and modules meet expectations.
