become the new definition of online learning. Traditional online learning
fails to deliver impact at scale. Solve for scale, and you’re left with
learning (click-click videos, big Zoom calls…) that bores people. Solve for
impact, and you need high-touch group facilitation that is costly and
inflexible. At Sparkwise, we’re pioneering a new type of online learning to
scale a more humane way to learn and grow for life. We’re building an
intelligent group learning platform that massively scales active, social
learning: our tech guides people to solve problems and practice together in
small groups — without the need for expert facilitation. It’s way more
engaging/impactful than asynchronous content, and way more accessible/flexible
than typical high-impact workshops. Since launching in 2022, we’ve grown
rapidly to >50 customers (examples: global philanthropy, Ivy League publisher,
top consulting firms, charter school network, top 10 LinkedIn influencer — to
name a few). We see 80% completion (vs. <15% of traditional eLearning), and
90%+ learners say Sparkwise is both highly engaging and practical. We’re a
remote company with teammates based in different parts of the Americas. We are
proven operators who worked at McKinsey, Minerva, Google, Teach for America,
and more. We’re funded by leading VCs and angels. 💥 What you'll do### At the
heart of Sparkwise is pioneering a new type of group learning that transforms
learners. We’re seeking an all-around Learning Design Lead who’s excited to
create incredible learning experiences, shape our technology development, and
build up our Learning Design function. You’ll work directly with Vince, the
CEO, and shape one of the most critical functions of the organization. As
we’re a rapidly-growing startup, your role will evolve and expand over time.
With that said, here’s what we expect your day-to-day to look like for the
first year: Build learning experiences on eclectic topics, alongside a junior
learning designer whom you manage — ~70% of your typical week will focus on
architecting new learning modules and creating content assets on a variety of
topic areas. What this tactically involves: identifying core underlying
insights for modules that have to be built or refined, creating a detailed
activity sequence outline, building input assets (slides, worksheets), getting
feedback on beta versions of the assets and refining them, filming/editing
videos, uploading assets to our internal authoring tool, and more. Given the
size of the learning design team, you’ll spend most of your time building
content yourself alongside the junior learning designer (vs. just managing).
Examples of topics we’ve covered: general business skills, clinical delivery
best practices for an autism care startup, culture setting for a childcare
company, sales best practices, and more. Here’s a quick demo video that shows
what our group learning looks like Collaborate with clients — ~10% of your
typical week will involve working with clients. You’ll be the main point of
contact for clients building custom content with us. You’ll engage their
subject matter experts to gather insight and work with their learning
designers to co-create modules. Level up the function + product — ~10% of your
typical week will be spent on continuously improving Learning Design as a
function and giving inputs to our product team as they build our tech
(improving UX/UI, informing the build of AI-powered authoring + group learning
experiences, etc.). Tactically, this will involve synthesizing learner
feedback, refining our Learning Design Playbook, leading team-wide problem
solving sessions, and more. Tackle diverse priorities as they arise — ~10% of
your typical week could involve any number of priorities, such as company-wide
strategy sessions, to business operations support, and team alignment
meetings. View our full job posting for more details Sparkwise focuses on
