Learning Experience Designer

Position Purpose :

At The Home Depot, we help doers get more done. In order to do this, our Learning Design & Development team creates simple, relevant, and effective learning experiences for our orange-blooded associates, and we're looking to add to the team.

The Learning Experience Designer (LXD) provides strategic design thought leadership to learning strategies and programs through a blend of technical, creative, and interpersonal skills. The LXD collaborates with learning strategy teams to drive learning strategies across multiple design teams leveraging user-centered, design thinking methodologies, and helps to measure the effectiveness of the solutions. The LXD operates ahead of the rest of the team like a scout in an exploration team : a scout moves ahead of the main group to survey the landscape, identify obstacles, and find the best path forward. The LXD proactively anticipates challenges, identifies opportunities, and guides the team's approach, ensuring it is as smooth and successful as possible. The LXD mentors and builds the capabilities of the instructional design team and acts as a catalyst for innovation. The ideal LXD will be adept at combining business strategy with design methodologies to execute ideas into simple, relevant, and effective learner experiences.

Interested? Here's what we're looking for :

• You are passionate about learning and have advanced and proven experience applying instructional design and adult learning principles to create learning experiences and programs. Your design approach is grounded in user-centered design and research.
• You have a track record of finding innovative, scalable, and sustainable approaches to solving problems. You think like a business partner as well as a designer. You are forward-thinking and comfortable taking risks. You embrace iterating on solutions at the pace of retail.
• You can flex between being strategic and tactical and are comfortable with ambiguity. You define goals and parameters in an ambiguous state of imagining future needs. Your tolerance for ambiguity is balanced with your ability to organize and deploy practical solutions.
• You are self-driven, collaborative, and resourceful.
• You have proven project management skills. You successfully manage multiple complex projects simultaneously. You contribute to the short and long-term planning of work in partnership with leadership.
• You are relationship and team oriented. Others see you as a curious leader and trusted partner who engages others on the journey. You have experience coaching and mentoring Instructional Designers to develop both individual and team capability.
• You have excellent communication skills. You can influence at multiple levels to articulate design decisions clearly and guide quality decisions.
