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.

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.
