Description

We are looking for a Learning Experience Designer to join our Creative Services Team - This is an exciting time as this role is due to yet another internal promotion

Are you known for your Learning Design skills? Do you 'wow' people with your gift for creating digital learning for the commercial world? Do you love learning as much as we do? If you answered yes to all three, then you might be the exceptional Learning Experience Designer we are looking for.

So, what is a Learning Experience Designer?

There are a few names out there for Learning Experience Designers; Learning Designer, Instructional Designer, Magician all are true, so why do we say 'Experience' design? Well, our Learning Experience Designers (or LEDs for short) take digital learning to the next level.

They work with our clients and internal teams to transform content and a vision into a cohesive, meaningful, and impactful learning
experience.

Our LEDs are key to our business at Sponge. There is no 'typical' day in the life of an LED. When they aren't coming up with innovative ideas and solving problems, they are exercising their great stakeholder management skills. They meet with our clients to discuss their projects, digging deep to truly appreciate their challenges, goals, and needs.

With excellent commercial awareness, they have a knack for seeing the bigger picture and considering what's best for the learner, the client and for Sponge.

They get their hands dirty too, researching, developing, and designing solutions with a clear direction grounded in learning approaches and methodologies that create the best solution possible.

But they can't do this alone.

LEDs work with our talented Visual Designers, Developers, and Innovation Experts to make sure the client's vision becomes a reality.
