Learning Content Developer

Job description

Who Are We?

IBM Z is the World's most powerful business platform. Today 68% of enterprise production workloads, 80% of structured enterprise data, and 55% of all enterprise transactions, including more than 50% of the back-end transactions generated from mobile enterprise applications, run on IBM Z. We are embarking on an exciting journey to transform the developer experience on IBM Z by embracing disruptive technologies spanning all aspects of development and deployment.

To succeed with our transformation we need the best people running all aspects of our business from Product Positioning through to Design, Development and Support. Do you want to be part of this exciting journey and deliver innovation that matters on the platform that runs the world's core businesses?

The Role

We're at an exciting stage of developing online learning resources for digital delivery to complement our existing technical content for our software products. We need people who can craft exceptional learning experiences that enable our technical users and inspire them to do more with our software.

We're looking for an experienced learning content developer - someone who knows how to make our technical content clear, concise, and relevant, and to deliver it in the best format for the learning outcomes. You'll work alongside subject matter experts to scope and define learning objectives, then design and build the learning content. You'll create learning materials yourself as well as supporting the delivery from other contributors. You'll liaise with a wide range of project stakeholders to make sure that the materials are well - aligned with other product and content deliverables. You'll stay on brand, but you'll have the creativity, expertise, and enthusiasm to help take our learning content to the next level. You'll have the support of our existing team of technical content developers, a large network of subject matter experts, and access to users in our clients.

The Location

Located in the Hampshire Countryside and only 10 minutes from historic and bustling Winchester, Hursley boasts a 3000 person strong team of technologists working on a vast range of products and projects from across the IBM portfolio.

Engagement is at the heart of being an IBMer and at Hursley this is particularly apparent with the variety of opportunities to participate in clubs, projects, patenting and community outreach. In fact, the culture of collaboration is why so many feel they belong here and find it such a fulfilling place to work.
