Learning Solution Specialist

About the role

You'll work in the context of our blended learning strategy and international publishing landscape that Sanoma Learning operates in. In our matrix structure, you will report to Pedagogy Competence Lead for pedagogy alignment, across print, digital, and AI. On a day-to-day basis you will be part of the team that is building our new blended product for secondary education, with a functional reporting line to the Program Manager. You align with our local publishing companies on desired learning outcomes in learning materials and transfer that into actionable insights. You'll partner with UX designers, product owners, and user researchers to embed learning-outcome thinking into how we plan, design, and evaluate products. You won't own UX artifacts or UI execution (UX designers remain accountable for that), but you will be accountable for learning outcomes, learning success criteria, and making learning impact measurable. Your focus is to ensure our digital learning experiences are not only user-centric but educationally intentional, evidence-based, and demonstrably effective in achieving learning outcomes.
