Mō tēnei tūranga | About the Opportunity

Our Capability Design team helps people do their best work by creating learning experiences that are practical, engaging, and drive real world performance.

We have two exciting opportunities available: Learning Designer and Senior Learning Designer.

As a Learning Designer, you’ll help create practical, engaging blended learning experiences that support real performance outcomes. Working collaboratively with project teams, you’ll contribute to discovery activities, design learner journeys, and develop content aligned to clear learning outcomes across formats such as workshops, guides, eLearning, and video. You’ll use established tools and design standards to ensure quality and consistency, support pilots and testing, and refine solutions based on feedback from stakeholders and users, guided by Senior Learning Designers and the Learning Experience Lead, with a strong focus on user experience.

As a Senior Learning Designer, you’ll lead the end to end design process, from guiding discovery and shaping learning approaches through to development and high quality delivery. With a strong project leadership focus, you’ll coordinate cross functional teams, including learning and digital designers and external partners, and work closely with stakeholders, consultants, and delivery teams to ensure solutions meet business needs. You’ll also mentor team members and promote consistent design practice, bringing a deep understanding of user needs and context to everything you create.

You’ll bring a relevant qualification in learning design, adult education, psychology, communications, or equivalent experience, along with strong communication skills, a collaborative mindset, and a focus on quality and user experience.
