THE ROLE

The Learning Experience Designer (LXD) is a full-time, exempt role reporting to the Learning Experience Design Manager.  This position is primarily a hands-on learning design role—crafting high-quality, learner-centered curriculum for online delivery through the Pathstream platform. 

Design & Development

  • Course Design and Scoping: Transform program goals into clear course structures by defining learning objectives, outlining instructional approaches, and creating actionable execution plans.
  • Interactive Curriculum Development:  Design and author high-quality, learner-centered asynchronous curriculum—including lessons, activities, and assessments—that build real-world skills for learners working in industry contexts.

Quality & Execution

  • Content Quality: Iterate on course materials, incorporating feedback from stakeholders and subject matter experts, and ensuring alignment with learning objectives, LXD best practices, and Pathstream’s internal standards.
  • End-to-End Course Ownership: Manage the entire course creation lifecycle from concept to delivery, ensuring timely execution, instructional quality, and alignment with program goals.

Innovation & Strategic Alignment

  • Learning Design Innovation: Leverage learning science and research to shape instructional approaches and enhance the effectiveness of learning experiences.
  • Business and Learner Impact Alignment: Leverage program data, learner feedback, and performance metrics to refine instructional strategies and ensure learning experiences drive measurable outcomes.
  • AI in Learning Design: Thoughtfully leverage established AI tools in your day-to-day work, while actively exploring new ways to use them more effectively in service of better learning experiences.

 

About You:

  • You have meaningful experience designing and developing online learning experiences, and a background that includes direct contact with learners — whether through teaching, coaching, facilitation, or something else entirely.
  • You enjoy diving into industries that are new to you and building a deep understanding of learner contexts and pain points. You’re comfortable working across complex or technical subject areas (currently including topics like fraud, claims, mortgages, and financial literacy) and translating them into engaging learning experiences.
  • You’re a hands-on builder who enjoys the day-to-day work of designing and developing learning experiences, not just setting direction.
  • You're passionate about creating learning experiences that genuinely change outcomes for people who are working hard to advance their careers. You balance that mission with pragmatism, focusing on what will actually help learners succeed in real-world job contexts.
  • You’re collaborative by nature, energized by cross-functional work, but also happy to spend a large portion of your day heads down. 
  • You think about the full learner journey, not just individual lessons — you make design decisions based on evidence about what's actually working, and you care deeply about how an experience feels from the learner's perspective.
  • You possess strong technical skills and a creative drive to explore and use new technologies, coupled with the practical expertise required to implement these innovations. 
  • You are an excellent communicator, especially in writing, and have the ability to express and break down complex topics clearly and easily. You have a strong command of the English language.
  • You’re highly detail-oriented and have excellent organizational skills—whether it’s content organization or organizing your own workflow.
  • You’re interested in working in a fast-growing, fast-paced environment with changing responsibilities.
  • You understand that a job goes beyond a job description and are willing to lend a helping hand wherever it’s needed.
  • You stay informed about new tools and approaches in LXD, and apply them selectively to improve learning experiences and workflows.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
