  • Digital Learning Experience: Define the gold standard for the digital learning experience. Guide teams to optimize for the UX and adult learning within the LMS and design programs that seamlessly bridge systems (LMS→knowledge management platform, etc.)

Who You Are:
  • 5+ years of experience designing and optimizing processes and systems to drive efficiency in the technology, sales, and/or enablement space, with at least 2 years experience of managing a team
