• Managing projects end‑to‑end: timelines, milestones, risks, dependencies, and cross‑functional handoffs
• Leading review cycles and incorporating feedback to ensure quality, consistency, and effectiveness
• Coordinating with production teams and supporting course release through the Learning Management System (LMS)
• Working across regions and time zones while keeping projects on track

• A proactive, solution‑oriented mindset with strong organizational and planning skills
• Ability to collaborate effectively in a global, multicultural environment

• eLearning authoring tools such as Articulate Storyline, Adobe Captivate, Camtasia
• Project management tools (e.g., Smartsheets, Jira, MS Project)
• Collaboration tools (MS Teams, Google Docs, Slack)
• Graphic design or video editing tools (Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro) are a plus
