Learning & Development Program Builder - Contract Position

About this role

BIS Safety Software is a SaaS company on a mission to change how organizations manage safety, learning, and compliance. We are hiring a Learning & Development Program Builder to create and deliver programs that help take our people to the next level.
About the role:
You will design and deliver the programs that we will use to develop our team, validate them through early trials, and document them thoroughly so the work carries forward after the contract concludes. The priority programs are a team lead/manager development program, department specific training for new hires, BIS product literacy, and advanced AI capability training, with a documented foundation established for the remaining areas.
Success in this role means the training you build actually gets used, and the next owner can run these programs on their own.
This is a maternity leave cover position and is expected to run about 6 to 9 months. This is an in-person role based out of our Sherwood Park, Alberta office

Lead discovery - interview team leads and leadership to identify where the most significant skill gaps exist, and work to understand how BIS operates before designing programs

Build the team-lead/manager development program - equip team-leads/managers with the skills to manage and develop their teams effectively

Establish a repeatable onboarding framework - set team members up for success quickly via development aimed at helping them perform at their best

Develop a BIS product knowledge program - getting new team members up to speed on the nuances of our software

Create AI literacy training - capture the expertise of our internal AI team and translate it into a program that helps other team members unlock what AI can do for them

Deliver L&D programs - run and facilitate the sessions yourself and get early wins that show the approach works

Document each program as it ships - provide a build rationale and delivery guide so the programs can be carried forward after the contract ends Have built programs from the ground up - manager development, skill curricula and onboarding - rather than only delivering content designed by others

Have worked in an L & D or talent development position before – you're familiar with this type of work and have experience and know-how when it comes to what needs to get done

Identify the underlying need - you determine what people genuinely need to learn and develop programs that build real capability

Work fluently with AI on a daily basis - using your own tools and agents and iterating quickly, which is what makes a build on this timeline feasible

Document consistently - you deliver a function that can operate without you rather than one dependent on your presence

Build buy-in through discovery and delivery - you conduct stakeholder interviews effectively and produce training the organization takes seriously

Work with a sense of urgency - you are suited to a hands-on build and working at a quick pace

Iterate and incorporate feedback well - you stay persistent through early drafts and identify the real need beneath what people express An adult learning background

Built role-specific onboarding before, particularly for sales or marketing Full medical, dental, and vision coverage
