The Challenge

OneTrust is seeking a Principal Learning Experience Designer to architect and scale high‑impact, release‑driven digital education for complex SaaS products. This is a senior‑level individual contributor role for a proven learning architect who thrives in fast‑moving environments and sets the standard for quality, speed, and scalability.

Your Mission

• Architect and deliver rapid, release‑synchronous eLearning for technical SaaS products, using modern authoring tools (primarily Rise)
• Convert ILT/VILT and SME‑led content into high‑quality, self‑directed digital learning that scales globally
• Design and maintain net‑new, release‑maintenance, and delta‑training modules that clearly communicate what changed, why it matters, and how to apply it
• Build microlearning (≤15 minutes)
• Create high‑quality demo and how‑to videos with AI audio, that teach real workflows, use cases, and best practices
• Own and evolve reusable learning templates, patterns, and standards that ensure consistency, accessibility, and speed across the education portfolio
• Partner with product SMEs, trainers, and education leaders to translate complex functionality into clear, outcome‑driven learning
• Apply and enforce accessibility (WCAG) standards and inclusive/neurodiverse design practices
• Leverage AI tools (e.g., Copilot, Rise AI) to accelerate development, generate scenario variants, maintain terminology consistency, and support quality assurance
• Mentor and coach other designers—raising the overall quality bar, influencing design decisions, and providing hands‑on guidance for complex initiatives
• Use learner and delivery feedback to identify “stumble points” and design targeted digital solutions that improve adoption and time‑to‑value

You Are

• 7+ years of experience in instructional design or rapid eLearning experience design, ideally within SaaS, enterprise software, release‑driven environments, or technical platforms

• Strong proficiency with Articulate Rise and working knowledge of Articulate Storyline
