Your impact 

The VP of Learning Experience Design (LXD) is a critical leadership role responsible for the design, customization, and delivery of high-impact training experiences for Correlation One’s enterprise and governmental clients. In addition to working directly with clients, this person will lead a team of exceptional Learning Designers and Content Developers and work cross-functionally with leaders in Sales, Marketing, Operations, Product, and Career Development teams.

The ideal candidate will be an exceptional strategic leader with the ability to align high-level strategies and KPIs with thoughtful process design and execution. The VP will oversee content customization and learning experience design for client-specific needs, ensuring that training programs are tailored to align with learner skill levels, industry case studies, and client technologies.

In this role, you will join a stellar leadership team and will be expected to operate in a dynamic and fast-paced environment, meeting ambitious deadlines while fostering a high-performance culture. This role is equal parts hands-on work (e.g. crafting proposals and other client collateral) and driving a lean, agile team that responds quickly to client needs. We are looking for a candidate who excels in environments that require focus and drive, and who finds fulfillment in managing complex challenges and delivering results under pressure. Your efforts will directly influence the scalability and success of our programs across multiple verticals, including enterprise upskilling and reskilling and government-sponsored professional education.
