About the role

An E-learning provider helps organizations and individuals build the capability to adopt new technology.

Our digital learning sits alongside instructor-led training and hands-on labs, either as standalone

courses or as part of blended programs.

We are looking for a multi-skilled digital learning designer and developer to join the team on a long-

term contract. You will take a module from first conversation to finished build: scoping with subject

matter experts, designing the learning, writing the content and building it, mainly in Articulate

Storyline and Rise.

You will work with our own subject matter experts and, often, directly with customers and their

experts. You will be AI first, using Claude and other AI tools every day to speed up production while

keeping quality high.

What you will do

• Design the learning. Analyze needs, set learning objectives and choose the right approach and

instructional framework for each audience and outcome.

• Work with experts and customers. Run scoping and review sessions with our subject matter

experts and with customers and their experts, turning technical knowledge into clear, structured

learning.

• Write the content. Produce storyboards, scripts, scenarios, interactions and assessments that

are accurate, engaging and easy to follow.

• Build the modules. Develop interactive digital learning, mainly in Articulate Storyline and Rise,

and publish it to SCORM or xAPI for delivery through an LMS.

• Fit it into blended programs. Design digital modules that work alongside instructor-led training

and labs, as pre-work, reinforcement or follow-up.

• Work AI first. Use Claude and other AI tools to accelerate research, design, scripting, assessment

writing, media and review, checking every output for accuracy and quality.

• Improve how we work. Build reusable templates, prompts and AI workflows that make the

whole team faster.

• Own quality. Manage reviews and revisions, test builds across devices, and meet accessibility

standards (WCAG 2.1 AA).
