Global Learning Content Partner

Introduction to role:

Are you ready to design learning that equips thousands of colleagues to deliver life‑changing medicines faster and more reliably? Do you enjoy turning complex operational challenges into simple, scalable learning that changes behaviour at pace?

As a Global Learning Content Partner, you will connect capability needs to evidence-based solutions that improve speed, quality, and compliance across our global network—from early development through manufacturing and supply. You will translate strategy into measurable learning outcomes, building programs that shorten time-to-competence, boost adoption of new ways of working, and help our teams deliver with consistency. Your work will directly support the safe, efficient delivery of medicines to patients worldwide.

You will partner with leaders and experts across functions and geographies, shaping a learning portfolio that keeps our people at the forefront of digital, lean, and sustainable practices. This is a chance to build at scale, influence standards, and make measurable impact where it matters most: on the medicines and the people who depend on them.

Accountabilities:

Build positive relationships with global, regional, and local collaborators. Work together to diagnose capability needs, prioiritise initiatives, and define clear learning objectives and success metrics aligned to business outcomes.

Instructional Design: Apply evidence-based learning science to design blended solutions (e-learning, micro learning, virtual classroom, instructor-led training, performance support, social learning) using models such as ADDIE to drive real behaviour change.

Content Development: Create and curate high-quality content, storyboards, and assets; develop in authoring tools (Articulate 360, Rise, Storyline, Vyond); and collaborate with subject matter experts, designers, and vendors to ensure accuracy and impact.

Program Management: Lead the end-to-end project lifecycle—scoping, timelines, resources, budget, risks, and status reporting—across multiple concurrent initiatives in a complex, global matrix.

Stakeholder Management: Facilitate design workshops and reviews, synthesise and resolve feedback across diverse functions and levels, and ensure alignment to governance standards and brand guidelines.

Data and Impact: Define measurement plans (Kirkpatrick), set critical metrics, and use data to iterate content and demonstrate business impact (e.g., time-to-competence, adoption, quality metrics).

Enablement and Adoption: Partner with communications and change teams to drive awareness, engagement, and adoption; create facilitator guides and toolkits to enable scale and consistency.

Learning Technology: Configure and deploy content within LMS/LXP ecosystems; manage metadata and SCORM/xAPI packaging; ensure accessibility and localisation readiness.

Quality and Compliance: Ensure all content aligns with quality, regulatory, and privacy standards; maintain version control and audit readiness.

Globalisation and Localisation: Adapt solutions for diverse audiences and markets using inclusive design principles and partnership with translation providers.

Essential Skills/Experience:

• Proven track record partnering with global, regional, and local stakeholders to assess capabilities, prioiritise learning initiatives, and define objectives and success metrics.

• Expertise in instructional design to create blended learning (e-learning, micro learning, virtual classroom, ILT, performance support, social learning).

• Hands-on experience creating and curating content, storyboards, and assets using Articulate 360, Rise, Storyline etc., working closely with SMEs, designers, and external vendors.

• Demonstrated ability to lead end-to-end learning programs, including scoping, timeline and resource planning, budgeting, risk management, and reporting across multiple concurrent projects in a global matrix environment.

• Strong facilitation and collaborator management skills to run design workshops, conduct reviews, reconcile feedback, and align to governance and branding standards.

• Experience defining evaluation frameworks (Kirkpatrick), setting important metrics, and using data to iterate and demonstrate business impact (e.g., time-to-competence, adoption, quality metrics).

• Experience driving engagement and uptake through communications and change approaches; ability to build facilitator guides and toolkits for scale.

• Proficiency configuring and deploying content in LMS/LXP ecosystems; handling metadata, SCORM/xAPI packaging; ensuring accessibility and localisation-readiness.

• Deep understanding of quality, regulatory, and privacy requirements for learning content; strong version control in the field and preparedness for audits.

• Experience localising global programs using inclusive design and working with translation partners.

Desirable Skills/Experience:

• Experience in pharmaceuticals, biotech, medical devices, or other highly regulated industries; familiarity with GxP considerations for training.

• Professional certifications in learning and development (e.g., CPLP/CTDP), change management (e.g., PROSCI), or project management.

• Skill in data visualisation and reporting using tools such as Power BI or Tableau to track and communicate learning impact.

• Background in human-centred design, learning experience design, or workshop facilitation to drive co-creation and adoption.

• Experience with learning ecosystems and integrations (e.g., Degreed, Cornerstone, Workday Learning) and learning analytics.

• Multilingual proficiency and experience managing localisation across diverse markets.

• Awareness of emerging technologies (e.g., generative AI, adaptive learning) to enhance content development and learner engagement.

When we put unexpected teams in the same room, we unleash bold thinking with the power to inspire life-changing medicines. In-person working gives us the platform we need to connect, work at pace and challenge perceptions. That's why we work, on average, a minimum of three days per week from the office. But that doesn't mean we're not flexible. We balance the expectation of being in the office while respecting individual flexibility. Join us in our unique and ambitious world.

Why AstraZeneca:

Here, learning fuels the delivery of medicines that change lives. You will shape capability across a global network that turns scientific breakthroughs into real-world supply—collaborating with scientists, engineers, digital specialists, and manufacturing leaders to solve concrete challenges at speed. We bring unexpected teams together, pair disciplined execution with curiosity, and invest in modern tools and skills so people can do their best work. Your programs will help reduce errors, accelerate technology adoption, and build sustainable ways of working—connecting your craft to a purpose that reaches patients, communities, and the planet. We value kindness alongside ambition, and we back bold ideas with the support to learn fast and make them real.
