Learning Designer

The Learning Designer - Field Learning is responsible for creating the comprehensive learning design in support of our Field Learning audience teams. They combine a solid understanding of adult learning principles and training dynamics to curate and develop contextualized content to design effective and business-aligned learning experiences. Learning Designers work with a wide range of stakeholders including SMEs, the audience team, and the Content Design & Production team to create and maintain audience learning experience(s) based on learning/performance objectives set by the Audience Team. 

Learning Designers apply tested adult learning theories and translate audience learning objectives to refine, curate, create and/or develop learning assets. They proactively stay current with learning trends and share resources and learning with others on the team. Learning Designers align with Chick-fil-A’s learning and content strategy to shop for or create content, to ensure experiences are developed efficiently and effectively within the broader context of the business strategy and audience learning needs. 

Our Flexible Future model offers a healthy mix of working in person and virtually, strengthening key elements of the Chick-fil-A culture by fostering collaboration and community.
