Overview
As our Learning Technology Sr. Specialist, you are the strategic and operational owner of the learning technology ecosystem supporting the Commercial Organization. Youll administer the Business Units LMS endtoend, and youll also own adjacent platforms that plug into or stand alongside the LMSspecifically our AI RolePlaying/Simulation tool, Sales Enablement Platform (e.g., Cornerstone, Mindtickle, or a bespoke solution), our Knowledge Base, and Content Management System.
