• System Management: Set up and maintain tracking/completion systems within the LMS to monitor learner progress.
• Project Pipeline: Manage the end-to-end workflow for multiple sessions weekly, ensuring all instructional priorities are preserved in the digital shift.

Candidate Qualifications and Traits:

• Asynchronous Pedagogy: Expert understanding of "chunking" dense 60–90 minute live sessions into digestible micro-learning segments that maintain instructional rigor.
• Multimedia Production: Mastery of video/audio post-production (e.g., Camtasia, Descript) to edit live recordings into polished, graphics-supported instructional videos.
• LMS Architecture: Deep technical knowledge of setting up tracking, completion triggers, and SCORM/xAPI mapping to ensure data-driven oversight.
• Adaptability & Growth Mindset: The ability to adjust to evolving organizational needs, embrace new approaches, and continuously learn.
• Critical Thinking & Results-Oriented: Effectively plans and executes work to achieve impactful outcomes; uses strong judgment to analyze situations and test solutions in collaboration with stakeholders.
• Operational Excellence: Strong attention to detail with an "audit-first" mindset regarding document versioning and compliance terminology.
