• Design and develop comprehensive, end-to-end curricula for mid- to senior-level ESOP administrators (Primary focus) and 401k administration (Secondary)
• Translate complex topics (e.g., compliance, governance, valuation, fiduciary responsibilities, and plan administration) into structured, learner-centered educational experiences
• Align curriculum to clearly defined learning outcomes, professional standards, and real-world application
• Create high-quality instructional materials, including facilitator guides, participant workbooks, assessments, case studies, and scenario-based learning
• Apply adult learning theory and best practices (e.g., experiential learning, problem-based learning, and assessment-driven design)
• Design content for multiple delivery modalities, including instructor-led training, virtual learning, blended programs, and self-paced learning
• Partner closely with subject matter experts (SMEs), ESOP/401k practitioners, and internal stakeholders to ensure technical accuracy and relevance

• Strong grounding in adult learning theory and instructional design methodologies (e.g., ADDIE, backward design, competency-based learning)
• Exceptional ability to synthesize complex content into clear, engaging, and instructionally sound learning materials
• Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple workstreams and deadlines in a contract environment
