We are looking for an experienced learning & development professional to lead our team of learning specialists (writers / instructional designers) as our company continues to grow.

The Manager – Learning Solutions will assess client training needs and oversee the development of innovative e-learning, instructor-led training, mentoring and coaching programs, explainer videos, and related solutions (you can find examples in the “services” section of our website). Experience with multimedia production would be a definite plus.

This is a 100% virtual, part-to-full-time position.

Responsibilities / Outcomes Delivered

• Master Sonata Learning’s approach to instructional design and training facilitation
• Lead projects from initial needs assessment and discovery through final delivery
• Write scripts for e-learning modules and videos, develop instructor-led training decks and guides
• Serve as a coach and editor to our team of Learning Specialists

We have grown steadily over the past seven years and are looking for versatile writers capable of tackling subjects ranging from public health to engineering, diversity & inclusion, business skills, and more. 

As a Learning Specialist, you will write scripts for training videos, e-learning, facilitator and participant guides for instructor-led training, job aids and related content (you can find examples in the “services” section of our website).  While learning industry experience is helpful, it is not necessary; experience in marketing/advertising, technical writing, academic research, or other types of writing should be transferable.  

This is a 100% virtual, term-of-project role with the possibility of growing into a regular part-time or even full-time position.

Responsibilities / Outcomes Delivered

• Review source material provided by clients (e.g., whitepapers, web pages, books, old training slides, etc.) and translate it into well-organized, easy-to-follow training materials.

• Follow Sonata Learning’s guidelines and templates to write outlines, scripts, slide bullet points and other types of copy for client training programs.  
• Collaborate with graphic designers, animators, audio engineers, and provide guidance on how the content of the scripts can be translated to different media.  
• Ensure tasks are completed within the allotted hours, by the established deadline, according to project specifications. 
• Occasionally proofread/edit other writers’ work.
