* Design and develop engaging, high-impact learning solutions that push the boundaries of innovation and work with relevant internal stakeholders to embed these into new and existing products.
* Utilise emerging technologies such as AI, AR/VR, gamification, and adaptive learning to create immersive experiences. 
* Ensure smart content creation and adaptive learning materials are key to learning solutions, for example AI-personalised learning pathways, interactive simulations and AR/VR-based scenario training.
* Collaborating with a cross-functional team to integrate learning into a dynamic and scalable framework.

We'd love to hear from you if you offer the following: 

* A degree in Instructional Design, Educational Technology, Learning & Development, or a related field (or equivalent experience). 
* Significant levels of experience in digital learning design, preferably in fast-paced, innovative environments. 
* Proven expertise in designing and developing digital learning solutions using industry-standard tools (e.g., Articulate Storyline, Adobe Captivate, Camtasia, etc.). 
* Experience with AI-driven learning, AR/VR, gamification, and adaptive learning technologies. 
* Strong understanding of learning theories, instructional design methodologies, and UX principles. 
* Knowledge of learning management systems (LMS) and learning experience platforms (LXP).
