We are one of the most profitable companies in the world, as well as amongst the top five global companies by market capitalization.

- Develop written training materials and content for ILT, VILT, and eLearning
- Develop training materials in English
- Analyze existing course designs and instructional materials and make improvements as necessary
Minimum Requirements
- Master’s degree in Instructional Design or related field required
- 10+ years of experience designing performance-based, technical training for professionals
- Managing L&D projects
- Ability to work closely with subject-matter experts (SMEs), partnering with them through the design process, to elicit knowledge, to manage their deliverables and process, to negotiate and influence without authority
