Virtual Learning and Development Specialist

πŸ“ Anywhere 🏷️ Teaching & Training πŸ’° $80,000 / year
Training that people forget by Friday isn't training β€” it's a calendar item. We're bringing on aΒ Virtual Learning and Development SpecialistΒ to build programs people actually retain and use, working entirely from home anywhere within the continental United States. The work spans the whole arc of a program β€” you'll sketch out what it should teach, put it in front of learners, check afterward whether anything actually landed, and go back and fix what didn't. It suits someone who sees learning design as a real skill set, not a side task tacked onto an HR job.

The Core of the Job

People tune out faster on a screen than in a conference room, which raises the bar for everything you build. Curriculum has to earn attention rather than assume it. Live sessions need to feel like a conversation, not a broadcast. And the learning management system has to work well enough that nobody dreads logging in.

Where Your Focus Goes

  • Designing and building virtual learning programs suited to a workforce with varied roles, backgrounds, and learning styles
  • Selecting the right learning technologies and content formats for each program rather than defaulting to one approach
  • Leading live virtual training sessions and webinars that stay interactive and genuinely useful to the people in the room
  • Pulling together feedback, assessment results, and performance numbers to figure out what's working and what needs a rebuild
  • Sitting down with department heads and subject matter experts to pin down what training is actually needed, then building toward that
  • Keeping the learning management system current and easy enough to navigate that people don't need a manual to use it
  • Building out e-learning modules, video content, and interactive exercises that support the broader curriculum
  • Tracking trends in virtual learning and development and folding relevant new approaches into existing programs
  • Answering learner questions, giving feedback, and pointing people toward extra resources when they need them
  • Managing training projects from the initial idea through final rollout, keeping timelines and budgets on track
If you've been scanning virtual learning and development specialist vacancies near me and finding half of them quietly expect office days anyway, this one holds to remote as written β€” anywhere in the continental U.S. works.

What You'll Need

  • A bachelor's degree in human resources, education, instructional design, or a closely related field
  • A master's degree or a relevant credential, like the CPLP designation offered through the Association for Talent Development, is a plus but not a dealbreaker
  • 3-5 years of experience in learning and development, with a clear focus on virtual training
  • Demonstrated experience designing and delivering online learning solutions from start to finish
  • Comfort with virtual training platforms such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Webex
  • Some exposure to LMS platforms like Moodle or Blackboard would go a long way
  • Writing and speaking skills good enough to turn dense material into something people actually follow
  • Solid organizational and project management ability, with a track record of managing multiple deadlines in a remote setting
  • An analytical, proactive approach to spotting learning gaps before they become bigger problems
  • Experience collaborating with remote teams and cross-functional stakeholders at different levels of the organization

The Team You'd Be Joining

Nothing about this team runs on constant reinvention β€” the goal is dependable, well-run work, not novelty for its own sake. Naukri Mitra was built on the idea that people do their best work when the role actually fits them, and that thinking carried straight into how this position was defined: clear expectations, room to work independently, and people around you when a hand is needed. You'll be working alongside colleagues who take development seriously, both what they're building for others and where they're headed themselves.

Why Consider This Role

  • $80,000 a year, aligned with the experience this role calls for
  • Remote work from anywhere in the continental United States
  • A collaborative team culture centered on continuous learning
  • Ongoing opportunities to grow your own skills alongside the programs you build

The Rhythm of the Work

Nothing about this role runs on constant fire drills. Priorities do shift as the organization's needs change, so flexibility matters, but you won't be rushed into shipping something half-built just to hit an arbitrary date. There's room to actually think a program through before it launches.
