Description

Strategic Alignment & Integration

• Drive closer integration between RoW and the central LDD team, ensuring RoW programs stay connected to GOLD standards, design processes, and quality frameworks
• Identify opportunities where GOLD offerings can be adopted or adapted for RoW needs (the 70/30 standardization model), and where custom-built programs must remain
• Champion adoption of LDD's evolving content architecture and AI-enabled design frameworks within the RoW portfolio
• Serve as RoW's representative in LDD planning and governance processes

Portfolio Oversight & Design Consultation

• Provide a comprehensive, holistic view of the RoW learning portfolio across all programs (Amazon Leadership, Behind the Smile, T3 Development/Stepping Up to Leadership, Upskilling)
• Partner with RoW Product Managers on learning design evaluation, program architecture, and strategic design recommendations
• Evaluate the design quality and strategic alignment of RoW programs, recommending improvements grounded in evidence and best practice
• Support program evaluation methodology and measurement of learning effectiveness for RoW-specific initiatives

Future-Forward L&D Partnership

• Help RoW stay ahead of where the L&D function is going rather than executing primarily tactical work
• Identify emerging learning design approaches, AI-enabled workflows, and modern content strategies relevant to RoW's needs
• Translate LDD innovation (AI content workflows, modular content architecture, quality automation) into actionable recommendations for RoW adoption
• Provide thought leadership on how RoW's critical talent pipeline programs should evolve

Coordination & Resource Direction

• Coordinate ringfenced development contractors who support RoW content builds
• Translate design consultation into clear development briefs and quality expectations for contractor resources
• Establish and maintain a working rhythm with the RoW program team for intake, design review, and delivery coordination
• A day in the life
• A Day in the LifeA typical week in this role might include:
• Monday: Review the RoW program pipeline with the Product Manager team to identify upcoming design needs. Assess an intake request for a new regional leadership program and determine whether a GOLD-standard offering can be adapted or whether custom design is required.
• Tuesday: Join a design consultation session with a RoW program manager who is evolving the Tier 3 Development pathway. Provide learning architecture recommendations, reference relevant GOLD frameworks, and draft a design brief for contractor development resources.
• Wednesday: Participate in the central LDD governance meeting to stay connected to GOLD-wide design standards and share insights on RoW-specific challenges. Identify a new AI-enabled content workflow being piloted centrally that could accelerate RoW content localization.
• Thursday: Conduct a design quality review of an existing RoW program, evaluating alignment with updated GOLD standards. Prepare a recommendation brief with specific improvement opportunities and a prioritized action plan.
• Friday: Synthesize the week's portfolio activity into a status update for the LDD Design Manager. Draft a proposal for how an upcoming GOLD offering could be customized for the LATAM and APAC regions, outlining what stays standard and what requires regional adaptation.
