• Collaborate closely with Education Services, curriculum developers, subject matter experts, and cross-functional partners (such as Product, Engineering, Support, and Professional Services) to ensure learning content reflects current product capabilities and business priorities
• Design and refine virtual training experiences, workshops, and lab-based activities that give learners practical, guided opportunities to apply GitLab concepts in realistic technical environments
• Analyze learner, course, and program performance data to surface insights and make recommendations that improve content quality, learner engagement, knowledge retention, and program effectiveness
• Enable and support instructors, facilitators, and internal stakeholders by providing clear documentation, teaching materials, and guidance on how to deliver GitLab education content consistently in virtual environments
• Maintain a consistent instructional approach, visual style, and content standards across digital and virtual learning experiences while managing multiple projects, timelines, and stakeholders in an all-remote, asynchronous environment

What you'll bring

• Background in instructional design, learning experience design, curriculum development, technical training, or related fields such as education, learning and development, or enablement
• Experience using eLearning authoring tools and digital learning platforms (such as Articulate Rise, Storyline, Captivate, Clueso, or Camtasia), including basic configuration, publishing, and analytics
• Experience developing and executing digital learning programs and campaigns across channels like self-paced eLearning, virtual instructor led training, video, interactive labs, and presentations
• Ability to analyze learner and platform metrics to assess performance and optimize courses, learning paths, assessments, and certifications
• Skill in planning and managing learning projects, coordinating with multiple stakeholders and subject matter experts, and meeting deadlines in a structured, organized way
• Proven experience helping to shape and implement learning strategies and initiatives that support product adoption, customer outcomes, and business goals
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to different audiences and learning formats
• Ability to work independently and collaboratively in a distributed team, with openness to learning new tools and applying transferable skills from related technical or educational disciplines
