Learning Specialist
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.

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
