The role requires contact with internal and external partners.

4. Maintain and improve the quality of the learning programs over time: After the launch of the learning programs, you collaborate with the Learning Program Managers, the Production and Deployment teams, to maintain and improve the quality of the learning program's content and the learners' experience. With the results and feedback from learners, you design and drive the implementation of the necessary amendments to the learning programs.

5. Act as a lead instructional designer: as a senior instructional designer, you are expected to:
• coordinate the design of large-scale programs that require several instructional designers,
• support the development of more junior instructional designers when needed,
• track trends in pedagogy and blended learning, and share them within the Global Learning and the L&D network,
• work with the studio Director to implement impacting and innovative pedagogical approaches, improve processes, methodologies, and organization of the design team.
