Assess existing learning assets (internal and external) for assigned topics; expand and mature content into sustainable resources that scale across learner personas.
Support program awareness and adoption through marketing events and internal communications (speaking engagements, blog posts, and other channels).

Conduct learner discovery (user interviews, feedback loops) to understand needs, pain points, and skill gaps.
Design and develop learning products (courses, curriculum, modules, persona-based learning pathways) aligned to adult learning and instructional design best practices.
Translate Power BI and BI concepts into clear, engaging, accessible instructional materials for multiple personas and technical levels.
Partner with SMEs across the enterprise to develop, revise, validate, and maintain training content.
Facilitate virtual trainings regularly (and occasional in-person sessions only if required by the program).
Pilot-test learning products and iterate based on evaluations and learner feedback.
Build trust with learners and create an inclusive environment that supports growth throughout the data literacy journey.

4+ years in data and analytics (e.g., data analytics, statistical programming, data integration, data management, biostatistics, software development, data science) or equivalent education/experience.
1+ year using visual/instructional design tools such as Adobe Creative Suite, Camtasia, Articulate Storyline, Captivate, Vyond (or similar).
Strong facilitation/presentation skills; comfortable leading workshops for large, diverse audiences.
Excellent written communication, organization, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
Proficiency with collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and modern digital workflows.
