GA is at the leading edge of creating practical solutions to one of the most pressing challenges of our time - the future of work. As recognized by The World Economic Forum, BCG, the OECD and more, these are big challenges to which only a few companies are offering real solutions. In this role, you'll be speaking every day to corporate leaders who rely on GA to help them apply these solutions to their workforce of the future.

As a Senior Learning Experience Designer (LED), you will be responsible for designing, developing, and
contextualizing high-quality GA learning programs for enterprise, technical, and professional audiences.
This role requires strong learning experience design knowledge, excellent program development and
project management skills, and hands-on fluency with AI tools and emerging workplace technologies.
You will create practical, outcome-driven learning experiences that help learners build relevant skills and
apply them with confidence in real workplace contexts. Because AI is increasingly embedded across GA
programs and client needs, you should understand how modern AI tools are actually used in the
workplace and be able to translate that fluency into applied activities, labs, simulations, facilitator guides,
assessments, and client-specific adaptations.

While this role will contribute significantly to GA’s AI-enabled and emerging technology portfolio, it is
not a purely AI curriculum role. The core responsibility is to create scalable, high-quality GA programs
that meet learner needs, client goals, market expectations, and GA’s instructional standards.
You will project manage and collaborate with subject matter experts, instructors, product managers,
learning designers, assessment specialists, vendors, and client-facing teams to create learning experiences
that reflect current market needs, emerging capabilities, and practical workplace application.

assessments, facilitator guides, learner workbooks, and practical workplace exercises.

contexts, including the use of AI tools and platforms where relevant.
