• Build and manage relationships with host sites and internal partners (e.g., IT, Office Services, and business-unit office management) to ensure smooth delivery.
• Support inclusive learning environments by coordinating accessibility accommodations and attendee needs (e.g., A/V, microphones, room setup, and dietary restrictions).
• Support on-demand learning development by learning required tools and co-creating content with teammates.
• Draft, maintain, and validate learning assets and offerings to ensure quality, accuracy, and alignment to intended outcomes.
• Maintain learning systems and repositories (e.g., Learning Catalog, CONNECT, and ConservationTraining.org) and curate existing resources.
• Maintain data integrity and produce metrics and reports on offerings and engagement to support decision-making.
• Coordinate purchasing, invoices, and vendor contracting in alignment with organizational policies.
• Serve as a resource for learning operations by resolving internal process and system issues, improving workflows and documentation, and pivoting quickly to meet changing needs.
• Use AI tools responsibly and in a human-centered way (e.g., protect confidential information, mitigate bias, and validate outputs) in alignment with organizational guidance.
