Key responsibilities include:
* Leading the planning, development, and delivery of interactive e-learning content.
* Applying learning design principles to ensure content is inclusive, engaging, and pedagogically sound.
* Managing a team of content producers, designers, and freelance writers — ensuring output is top-quality and on-brand.
* Liaising directly with clients and partners to gather requirements, provide updates, and incorporate feedback.
* Ensuring all content aligns with learning objectives and user needs.
* Working closely with design and tech teams to develop media-rich content using tools like Genially and Articulate.
* Managing project timelines and production schedules to meet deadlines.
* Collaborating with marketing and analytics teams to optimise content for SEO and learner engagement.
* Staying ahead of trends in education, e-learning, and content delivery to continuously evolve our approach.

A solid understanding of instructional/learning design theory and practice.
Proficiency with tools such as Genially, Articulate, Canva, Thinkific, or similar.
Experience creating accessible, inclusive content.
Familiarity with QA processes and content quality standards.
Strong project management skills — juggling multiple deadlines is second nature to you.
