ABOUT THE TEAM
We are seeking an experienced Onboarding Contractor to support our global onboarding transformation. This role will focus on mapping the end-to-end onboarding process, designing tailored onboarding journeys for multiple employee populations, and converting existing instructor-led learning into scalable, self-directed e-learning content.
This role will also play a key part in process improvement as we transition from a localized onboarding model-delivered primarily in person-to a regional delivery model that blends in-person and virtual learning. This is a three-month contract role, based at HQ, with the opportunity to make a direct impact on shaping how new employees experience joining our company.

• Ensure onboarding content is accessible, scalable, and aligned with the global onboarding strategy.

Process Improvement & Delivery Model Transition:

• Contribute to the redesign of onboarding by helping transition from a localized, fully in-person model to a regionalized, blended delivery model.
• Recommend process improvements that enhance efficiency, consistency, and scalability across regions.

Collaboration & Delivery:

• Partner with internal onboarding and learning teams to deliver rapid content redesign without disrupting current operations.
• Align content strategy with broader global onboarding objectives and timelines.

QUALIFICATIONS
