Senior Learning Designer (Durable Skills & Apprentice Manager Experience), US

We are Multiverse, a tech scaleup with a social mission. We're creating a diverse group of future leaders by building an outstanding alternative to college and corporate training.
In June 2022, we announced our $220M Series D raise, making Multiverse a mission-driven unicorn. This funding will help us to accelerate our growth in the US, where we're committed to tackling the toughest challenges facing those who seek jobs - and those who provide them.
In our first year in the US, we launched over 20 apprentice cohorts at some of the best companies in America, including the likes of American Express, Citizens Bank and Visa. Globally, we work with over 500 clients and we've been recognized as one of the fastest-growing businesses in Europe.
Join us on our journey to democratizing access to the best careers and learning opportunities.
The Opportunity
Senior Learning Designers are responsible for setting the vision for and creating the curriculum for our world-class apprenticeship programs in fulfilment of our ambition to build an alternative to university. We are looking for someone who is interested in designing instructional programs, and wants to create a massive impact by unlocking the potential of underrepresented talent through applied learning.
This role focuses on two business critical areas which reach across all of our programs: Durable Skills & Apprentice Manager Experience. Many education organizations focus on the technical skills needed for success in a program, but Multiverse recognizes that it takes more than technical skills to be successful. Durable Skills are the interpersonal, critical thinking, and self management capabilities that supercharge our performance in the workplace. They remain relevant across roles and functions as careers evolve. As a business, we are investing in designing resources to support apprentice development of these skills. We also know that Apprentice Managers are key to ensuring apprentice success and retention, as well as driving client outcomes such as deal expansion. This role will work closely with the Manager Experience team to design manager-focused resources which will enable managers to support and develop their apprentices while growing their own skills as people managers.
This is a unique opportunity to lead high-profile learning design initiatives in a high-growth business, working closely with teams across the business.
