We are creating a new learning ecosystem that blends proven teaching methods with the power of AI to deliver high-quality, engaging, and scalable learning experiences.

This role balances research-driven pedagogy with practical design decisions, ensuring every course is both academically sound and workplace-ready.

  • Lead the Design Team in defining the pedagogical models, learning outcomes, and overall approach for programs delivered through ILT (Instructor-Led Training), VILT (Virtual Instructor-Led Training), and blended formats.
  • Translate organizational and learner needs into clear requirements for the Development Team (Instructional Designers, Writers, Media Experts, SMEs).
  • Ensure all programs are consistent, research-based, and focused on skill transfer and workplace readiness.

Pedagogical Excellence

  • Apply proven methodologies such as Experiential Learning, Scenario-Based Learning, Adaptive Learning, and Socratic Questioning to shape engaging and effective courses.
  • Create templates, guidelines, and frameworks that enable the Development Team to construct high-quality learning materials efficiently.
  • Champion questioning, reflection, and critical thinking as core design principles.
  • Collaboration with Development Team

  • Partner with the Development Team to turn designs into courses – providing clarity on pedagogy, content flow, learner experience, and outcomes.
  • Work with SMEs and domain experts to ensure accuracy, authenticity, and relevance of learning content.
  • Support the development of instructor resources and learner support materials.
  • Team Leadership & Mentorship

  • Build, guide, and mentor the Design Team to think creatively, apply research, and maintain quality standards.
  • Foster close collaboration between Design and Development teams, ensuring smooth handover and alignment.
  • Impact & Measurement

  • Define success metrics for learning programs (learner engagement, mastery, confidence, application on the job).
  • Use feedback and evidence from learners, instructors, and clients to refine future designs.
  • Qualifications and Experience

  • 10+ years of experience in learning design or related roles, with experience leading teams.
  • Strong knowledge of adult learning principles, instructional strategies, and classroom / vILT / online facilitation methods.
  • Experience in creating scalable learning solutions across multiple industries.
  • Proven ability to lead design decisions and translate them into actionable development requirements.
  • Preferred Skills

  • Familiarity with new learning technologies and openness to using AI in design and delivery.
  • Strong collaboration skills to work with content creators, instructors, SMEs, and business stakeholders.
