ABOUT MOLT
MOLT is a fast-growing startup transforming how organisations learn.
We design and deliver bespoke, engaging e-learning for the world's largest organisations - with a small, focused team. Our roots are in management consulting, and that shapes everything: how we think, how we deliver, and the standards we hold ourselves to. We combine learning design expertise with AI-powered production and a relentless focus on quality.
THE ROLE
This is a senior, client-facing role at the heart of how MOLT delivers.
As our Learning Design Lead, you turn client capability challenges into structured, effective learning programmes and lead them through to delivery. You'll work directly with senior stakeholders, design engaging learning experiences using MOLT's AI-powered workflow, and lead the production team through to final delivery.
You own client relationships independently, maintain our quality bar across every output, and drive commercial growth by spotting where we can do more work.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
Learning Design
* Lead curriculum design projects from brief through to structured, outcome-led delivery
* Create curriculums, modules, and lesson plans using MOLT’s AI-powered workflow
* Validate and refine AI-generated content to ensure quality, accuracy, and alignment with client goals
* Design learning that drives real capability and behaviour change
Client Engagement
* Own client relationships throughout the full project lifecycle
* Run discovery sessions and workshops to understand goals, audience, and business context
* Manage stakeholder alignment and sign-off across each delivery stage
* Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across multiple accounts
Production Leadership
* Lead internal production teams from project kickoff through to final delivery
* Provide direction, accountability, and support to junior team members
* Review outputs, maintain quality standards, and resolve issues early
* Ensure final deliverables remain true to the original design intent
Commercial & Growth
* Grow existing client accounts by identifying further opportunities to add value
* Support proposals, pitch decks, and client presentations, represent MOLT credibly in commercial conversations
* Contribute to the growth of a fast-moving business in an exciting market
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
We care more about how you think and operate than where you’ve done it. We’ve seen these skills developed across consulting, professional services, L&D, and other complex environments. If the qualities below describe you, we’d like to hear from you - regardless of sector.
Essential

* Eye for detail: You care about quality, structure, and getting things right
* Commercial instinct: You understand how a business like MOLT makes money. This isn't a sales role, but being commercially switched on is part of it. You should spot growth opportunities, understand value, and be comfortable in commercial conversations
* Leadership: You’ve led teams, improved processes, and managed competing stakeholder needs in complex environments
* Facilitation & communication: You run strong discovery conversations and communicate clearly and credibly with senior stakeholders
* AI & tools: You’re confident using AI tools such as Claude and OpenAI, and are strong across Microsoft Office, especially PowerPoint

* Experience in learning design or training across in-person, blended, or digital formats
* Experience managing or mentoring junior team members
