Job Summary

The eLearning Developer builds, produces, and deploys high-quality digital learning that improves safety, compliance, and operational performance. This role partners with subject matter experts (SMEs) and stakeholders, but takes day-to-day direction, priorities, and quality standards from the Instructional eLearning Designer. The eLearning Developer supports visual learning by integrating animations (motion graphics clips, animated diagrams, and in-tool animations) into eLearning experiences.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

• Develop eLearning modules in Articulate 360 (Storyline/Rise) and Adobe Captivate from approved storyboards and design specifications.

• Build interactive learning experiences (scenarios, branching, simulations, and knowledge checks) aligned to defined learning outcomes and assessment criteria.

• Integrate animation assets (e.g., MP4/GIF outputs, animated diagrams, motion-based callouts) to improve clarity, retention, and show-versus-tell learning.

• Create lightweight in-tool animations using Storyline/Rise capabilities (timelines, states, triggers, and motion paths) when appropriate.

• Package, publish, and troubleshoot SCORM 1.2 / SCORM 2004 (2nd/4th) and AICC/AICC Wrapper content for SAP SuccessFactors learning.

• Verify courses are accessible, and that they launch and track correctly in SAP SuccessFactors Learning, working consistently across supported browsers/device.

• Maintain and improve reusable templates, interaction libraries, and development standards (navigation, variables logic, file naming, and publishing profiles).

• Participate in project planning through providing build estimates, risks, and recommended development approaches.

• Manage version control and source files; implement edits and updates based on consolidated feedback coordinated by the Instructional eLearning Designer.

• Support deployment readiness in coordination with the LMS Manager, including launch testing and reporting considerations.

Qualifications

• 2-5 years of eLearning development experience (or equivalent portfolio).

• Proficiency with Articulate 360 (Storyline required; Rise preferred); familiarity with Adobe Captivate is a plus.

• Working knowledge of adult learning principles and basic instructional design concepts (ADDIE/SAM).

• Ability to optimize and troubleshoot multimedia/animation assets for web delivery (compression, aspect ratios, performance).

• Ability to manage multiple priorities and communicate progress, blockers, and rework drivers.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience supporting operations, safety, compliance, or industrial environments (e.g., transportation, logistics, rail, transload, warehouse, or field operations).

• Experience applying accessibility practices in eLearning development.

• Familiarity with SAP Success Factors learning analytics and/or simple JavaScript within Storyline.

• Experience developing performance support tools (job aids, quick reference cards, checklists, and digital guides).

Success Metrics and KPIs

• On-time delivery against project plans led by the Instructional eLearning Designer.

• Low defect and rework rate; high QA pass rates prior to launch.

• Smooth LMS deployment and reliable tracking/completion behavior.

• Positive learner feedback on usability, clarity, and visual effectiveness.

Culture & Values Fit

• Commitment to safety, operational excellence, and continuous improvement.

• Ability to work effectively in operation-driven environments.

• Collaborative, people-focused, and growth-oriented mindset.

• Enthusiastic about learning innovation and creating measurable impact.

Portfolio Requirements

• Provide a portfolio link (or packaged examples) demonstrating eLearning development capability: Include at least 2-3 examples showing Articulate Storyline and/or Rise development (Storyline preferred).

• Show interactive design (e.g., branching scenario, simulation, decision-making activity, software/process walkthrough).

• Provide a brief note per sample describing your role, tools used, and approximate timeline.

• If samples are proprietary, provide sanitized screenshots, a short demo video, or a narrated walkthrough explaining your build decisions.

• Preferred: at least one sample that incorporates animation assets and/or in-tool animations.
