The opportunity
We're looking for a talented and motivated Learning Designer to join our team on a fixed-term basis through to end of December 2026, to assist with increased workload associated with qualification reviews.
In this role, you'll take ownership of designing, developing, and maintaining high-quality digital learning materials that make a real difference for learners and employers.
This is a hands-on role where you'll work across the full learning design lifecycle: from stakeholder engagement and needs analysis through to wireframing, content development, and product launch.

located elsewhere in New Zealand, you're welcome to work fully from home. We're set up to support great work wherever you are.
What you'll be doing
- Designing and developing engaging digital and print learning materials across a range of formats and delivery methods
- Developing for a range of training products including apprenticeship programmes, micro-credentials, and commercial products
- Ensuring what you produce aligns with NZQA qualification and assessment standard requirements
- Wireframing and storyboarding new and existing products
- Adapting and contextualising content to meet customer and learner needs
- Continuously identifying opportunities to improve learning design and embed innovative approaches
What you'll bring
- Some familiarity with the NZQA Framework and vocational or educational product development (we'll support you to grow in this area)
- Some experience with authoring tools such as Articulate Rise, or a willingness to get up to speed quickly
- An interest in digital media — image editing, web-based content, or interactive media
- An ability to understand learner and stakeholder needs and translate them into clear, engaging content
- An enthusiasm for exploring how AI tools can be used to design, develop, and improve learning experiences
- Good attention to detail, strong organisational skills, and a proactive mindset
- A collaborative approach and the ability to manage your own workload effectively
