<li>Establish and maintain curriculum design standards for the training department,<br>including templates, style guides, and quality review checklists that govern content<br>output</li>

<li>Develop, maintain, and score certification exams that validate user proficiency on Syllo's<br>platform</li>
<li>Own learning analytics: configure dashboards, generate reports on completion,<br>assessment performance, and engagement, and surface insights to the training team<br>and client-facing stakeholders</li>
<li>Manage the production pipeline for new training content as Syllo ships product releases,<br>coordinating with the training team subject matter experts to keep content current</li>
<li>Identify opportunities to improve the learner experience through A/B testing, feedback<br>loops, and analysis of engagement and performance data<br><br></li>

<li>Experience developing assessments and certification programs, including item writing,<br>rubric design, and pass/fail calibration</li>

<li>Strong project management and production workflow skills; you can run a content<br>pipeline across multiple contributors and deadlines</li>
<li>Experience designing for legal or compliance audiences is a plus, as is exposure to AI-<br>powered software products</li>
