Course Developer

Most days tend to involve a blend of curriculum design, content creation, and partner coordination with subject matter experts, instructional designers, and technology teams — outlining course structure, drafting content, and partnering with SMEs to refine accuracy. You'll often spend part of the time on the technical fabric of authoring tools and learning platforms.

The harder part is often balancing instructional design rigor against time and budget pressure combined with the difficulty of getting subject experts to invest the time good courses require. You'll typically coordinate across SMEs, designers, and platform teams, where careful work shapes whether learners actually learn.

People who tend to thrive here are instructionally grounded, comfortable with content creation tools, and skilled at coordinating across SMEs and design. The trade-off is the project-based variability of course development and the cumulative work of building curriculum that holds up. If you find satisfaction in building courses that learners actually complete and use, the role can be a strong destination in learning and development.
