Senior Learning Design Specialist

The Global Business Organization Education's (GBOedu) mission is to transform capability development into an engaged advantage by building an adaptive, AI-infused learning ecosystem that delivers direct business value.

By connecting global strategy and local activation, GBOedu ensures our global employees possess the critical skills needed to maximize their impact and thrive in an evolving, AI-first business landscape.

As a Learning Specialist within the Global Business Organization, you are a producer-director at an integrated, agile value chain.

Supporting either our product portfolios or non-business initiatives, you will manage global learning strategies and establish standards for technical and operational fluency. You will navigate technical roadmaps—minimizing the need for subject matter expert discovery cycles—and will be directly responsible for designing curriculum and strategically selecting and leveraging existing modular assets. You will ensure innovation, technical accuracy, and zero drop-off in service as we transition into an automated, modular future.The US base salary range for this full-time position is $117,000-$167,000 + bonus + equity + benefits. Our salary ranges are determined by role, level, and location. Within the range, individual pay is determined by work location and additional factors, including job-related skills, experience, and relevant education or training. Your recruiter can share more about the specific salary range for your preferred location during the hiring process.
