Start the check, free

1What this role really is

This isn't just about delivering training; it's about building learning experiences that actually stick and make a difference to how our people work. You'll be the go-to person for designing and rolling out new programmes across your region, making sure they hit the mark every single time. Honestly, you're the bridge between what the business needs and what our people learn.

2What you'd actually use

The tools this job runs on, and how well you'd need to know each one.

LMS (Cornerstone OnDemand, Docebo)Expert

You'll be troubleshooting common user issues, building custom reports to track learning progress, creating complex learning paths, and advising others on how best to set up courses. You're the go-to person for LMS queries in the region.

Authoring Tools (Articulate 360 - Storyline/Rise, Camtasia)Advanced

You'll be designing and building complex, interactive eLearning modules using Storyline (with variables, triggers, branching scenarios). You'll also create and edit screen-capture videos in Camtasia and build quick, responsive courses in Rise. You might even mentor junior colleagues on these tools.

Virtual Classroom (Zoom, MS Teams, Webex)Expert

You'll master advanced features like breakout rooms, annotations, and whiteboards. You'll troubleshoot A/V issues on the fly and seamlessly integrate other tools (like Miro) for maximum engagement during virtual instructor-led training (VILT) sessions.

Collaboration & PM (Miro, Monday.com)Advanced

You'll use Miro for collaborative instructional design sessions (think action mapping with SMEs). You'll also manage complex training rollout projects using Monday.com, tracking multiple stakeholders, dependencies, and deadlines across your regional programmes.

Feedback & Analytics (Qualtrics, Power BI)Intermediate

You'll design multi-level feedback surveys in Qualtrics, analyse both qualitative and quantitative data to identify trends in learning effectiveness, and create dashboards in Power BI (often connected to LMS data) to report on Kirkpatrick Level 1 and 2 results.

3What you get to decide, and how that grows

Power in a job isn't your title. It's what you're allowed to decide. Here's how it grows as you move up.

The choice	Coming in	Where you are now	The step above
Instructional Design Methodology	Follows prescribed methodology (e.g., ADDIE template).	Chooses appropriate methodology (e.g., ADDIE vs. SAM) for routine projects, with manager consultation.	Designs and adapts methodologies for complex new programmes, justifying choices to manager. Full autonomy on technical design decisions.
Training Content Customisation	Makes minor edits to existing content under supervision.	Customises established content for specific regional needs within guidelines.	Designs entirely new content and programmes for regional needs, securing SME input and manager approval for strategic direction.
Vendor Selection (for specific tools/content)	Suggests potential vendors to supervisor.	Researches and evaluates vendors for specific needs, recommending options to manager.	Recommends and justifies preferred vendors for programme-specific needs (up to £5K spend), consulting with manager for final approval.
Programme Evaluation Strategy	Deploys standard Level 1 surveys.	Designs Level 1 & 2 evaluations, analyses data, and reports findings.	Designs comprehensive Level 1, 2 & 3 evaluation strategies, interprets complex data, and makes data-driven recommendations to leadership.
Prioritisation of Workstreams	Priorities set by supervisor.	Manages own task priorities within a project, escalating conflicts.	Prioritises own workstreams based on business impact and L&D strategy, consulting with manager on major shifts or resource conflicts.

4How you'll be judged

The scoreboard, honestly: the hard targets, how often each one is actually looked at, and the quiet human signals that never make it onto a dashboard.

Knowledge Gain (Kirkpatrick Level 2)

Measuring how much learners actually absorb from your training programmes through pre- and post-assessments.

Target · An average knowledge gain of >25% across all new programmes you design and deliver.

If a pre-assessment score was 50% and the post-assessment was 75%, that's a 25% gain. We'd track this for every cohort.

Time-to-Proficiency Reduction

For critical roles, how quickly new hires or upskilled employees reach a defined level of competence after your training.

Target · Reduce time-to-proficiency for key regional roles (e.g., new Sales Associates) by 15% through your redesigned onboarding or upskilling programmes.

If it usually takes 12 weeks for a new Sales Associate to hit their quota, your programme should help them get there in 10 weeks or less.

Observed Behaviour Change (Kirkpatrick Level 3)

How often managers report seeing a tangible change in their team members' behaviour back on the job after training.

Target · Achieve >85% manager confirmation of observed behaviour change three months post-training for programmes you've led.

After a 'Difficult Conversations' workshop, we'd survey managers to see if their team members are actually applying the new communication techniques.

Programme Development Cycle Time

The time it takes from initial needs analysis to the first delivery of a new training programme.

Target · Deliver new regional training programmes within 8-10 weeks of project kick-off, depending on complexity.

From the moment you start working on a new 'Product Launch' training, we expect it ready for its first run within 8 weeks.

Stakeholder Engagement & Collaboration

How effectively you work with business leaders and SMEs to understand their needs and get their buy-in for training solutions.

You're proactively invited to business unit planning meetings. SMEs consistently meet deadlines for content review. Business leaders champion your programmes, rather than just tolerating them. They'll tell your manager you're a trusted partner, not just an 'order taker'.

Instructional Design Quality

The effectiveness and creativity of the learning solutions you design, ensuring they're fit for purpose and engaging.

Programmes consistently receive positive feedback on clarity and relevance (beyond just 'liking' it). Learners are actively participating and asking thoughtful questions. Your designs are often used as examples for others in the L&D team. You're bringing new ideas to the table, not just recycling old ones.

Facilitation Excellence

Your ability to deliver engaging, impactful, and well-managed training sessions, whether in-person or virtually.

Learners consistently provide feedback that your sessions are interactive and well-paced. You handle challenging questions or difficult participants gracefully. You adapt your delivery style on the fly based on the audience's energy and needs, rather than just sticking to the script.

Mentorship & Peer Support

How well you support and guide junior members of the L&D team, sharing your knowledge and helping them grow.

Junior team members regularly seek your advice. You provide constructive feedback on their designs or delivery. Your manager highlights specific examples of you helping others develop. You're seen as a helpful, approachable expert within the team.

5Would you like it

The honest version. What people enjoy, and what grinds them down.

What people enjoy

Seeing the 'Lightbulb Moment'

You get a real buzz from seeing a learner's eyes light up when a concept finally clicks. That moment when they go from confusion to understanding is genuinely rewarding for you.

During a workshop, someone asks a really challenging question, and after your explanation, you see them nod slowly, then grin, saying 'Ah, I get it now!'

Building Something from Scratch

You love the process of taking a vague business problem, digging into it, and then designing a brand-new, effective learning programme to solve it. The creative challenge of instructional design really energises you.

Being handed a new product brief and having the autonomy to design the entire sales training journey for it, from initial e-learning to live role-plays.

Making a Tangible Business Impact

It's not enough for people to 'like' your training. You're driven by knowing that your work actually helps the business hit its targets, whether that's boosting sales, reducing errors, or improving customer satisfaction.

Getting feedback from a Regional Sales Director that their team's conversion rates have improved since you ran the new negotiation skills programme.

What frustrates people

The 'Order Taker' Dilemma: Business leaders asking for 'a training' when the real issue is a broken process or a difficult manager, treating L&D like a fast-food window.
SME Wrangling: Constantly chasing busy Subject Matter Experts for content, feedback, or approvals, only for them to miss deadlines.
The 'Bums on Seats' Battle: Fighting with line managers who see training as a cost, not an investment, and are reluctant to release their teams.
Mandatory Training Slog: Delivering dry, 'check-the-box' compliance training to an unenthusiastic audience (yes, it's necessary, but not always fun).
Logistical Hell: Dealing with last-minute venue changes, broken AV equipment, or missing materials, especially when delivering in-person across different sites.
Proving Value Beyond Smile Sheets: Struggling to get access to hard business data (like sales figures or error rates) to truly prove the ROI of your programmes.

What this role does not give you

A completely predictable schedule; regional travel and unexpected training needs mean plans can change.
Full autonomy over strategic L&D direction; that's more for the Manager level.
A role where you only deliver content; you'll be designing and evaluating just as much.
A quiet, desk-bound job; you'll be out and about, in front of people, or collaborating constantly.

6Who you work with

If you do this job well, our regional teams will be sharper, more productive, and happier in their roles. They'll have the skills they need to hit their targets and serve our customers brilliantly. If it goes poorly, we'll waste a lot of time and money on training that doesn't move the needle, and our people might feel unsupported or even frustrated. Frankly, you're directly impacting our regional performance and employee engagement.

7What you need before you start

Not a wish list. The things you would be expected to already have.

A proven track record (at least 5 years) of designing and delivering impactful training programmes in a corporate setting, not just academic.
Demonstrable experience applying instructional design methodologies (like ADDIE or SAM) to create effective learning solutions.
Strong facilitation skills, with experience leading both in-person and virtual sessions for diverse audiences.
Experience with at least one major LMS (e.g., Cornerstone, Docebo) and one professional authoring tool (e.g., Articulate Storyline).
A solid understanding of adult learning principles and how to apply them practically.
Experience in conducting basic training needs analysis and programme evaluation (beyond just 'happy sheets').

8What to practise next

Where the job is going, and what to do about it starting this week.

Advanced Interactive Content Development

Learners expect more engaging, personalised experiences. Static eLearning is out; highly interactive, scenario-based, and adaptive content is in. You'll need to master more complex features of authoring tools.

Branching Scenarios & Decision Trees · Gamification Principles · Adaptive Learning Pathways · XR (VR/AR) Basics for L&D

This month: Deep-dive into Articulate Storyline's advanced features – variables, conditions, and triggers. Build one complex branching scenario.
Next quarter: Research and experiment with a simple gamification element in one of your e-learning modules.
Month 4-6: Attend a webinar or workshop on adaptive learning design or the basics of VR/AR in training. Think about a small pilot project.

Quick win: Add a simple 'knowledge check' quiz with immediate feedback and a 'retry' option to an existing e-learning module. It's a small step towards interactivity.

9Staying current once you are in

What people here do to keep up

Regularly attend L&D webinars, conferences, and industry events to stay current with best practices and emerging trends.
Actively participate in online L&D communities or forums to share knowledge and learn from peers.
Seek out opportunities to mentor junior colleagues, as teaching is often the best way to solidify your own understanding.
Read books and articles on instructional design, adult learning, and performance improvement.
Experiment with new learning technologies and tools in your own time to build your practical skills.

10How the AI economy is changing work like this

Before we ask anything of you, here's what we can already say about AI and work of this kind:

The new skill this role is being asked for: AI-Assisted Instructional Design & Content Generation

AI tools are rapidly changing how we design and develop content. Competitors are already using Large Language Models (LLMs) to draft course outlines, generate quiz questions, and even create basic e-learning modules in a fraction of the time it used to take. Analysts who figure this out will outproduce peers significantly.

We'll only ever tell you what we can actually back up. No hype, no scare tactics.

The ten Future Fluencies

Zavmo analysis

The credential is what you can do today. These are what keep you valuable.

A qualification proves you can do the job as it's defined today. These ten are what decide whether you're still the obvious person for it in five years. They're the capabilities employers are now writing into senior roles faster than people are learning them. Zavmo weaves them through whatever you study, so you come out with both: the credential and the fluency.

The highlighted ones are the Fluencies your role leans on hardest, from how Senior Regional Training Specialist is actually changing. In about two minutes, the free confidence check asks where you stand on each of the ten. That's the whole check, and it's what makes the plan yours rather than generic.

12The team that's yours

No two people are taught the same way. This is one-to-one, not one-to-many.

Zavmo is a hyper-personalised AI learning platform. Twelve virtual tutors, each with a different way of teaching, and one orchestration agent that picks the right one for the moment. So every single lesson is shaped around you, your role, and the way you learn. Not a course everyone sits through. A conversation built for you, and no one else.

…and nine more, matched to you after your first chat. Meet all twelve

Start free and meet yours

13What it feels like

A conversation, not a course

Because your tutor knows your role, your projects and your last session, learning sounds like this. And it's different for every single person:

Supporting learning mentor provisionLevel 5

What you already know The first conversation finds your starting point, so you skip what you can already do and spend the time on what you cannot.
The conditions you learn under Not a learning-styles quiz. The evidence does not support those. The dimensions the research does back, read once and used to shape the plan.
How far you got last time It picks up mid-thought. The tutor knows what you said, what you struggled with, and what it asked you to try.
Which tutor suits the moment Twelve of them, each for a different kind of thinking. The one who walks you through a first idea is not the one who stress-tests it.

Working with AI on the job

Working with AI

Where AI is starting to help

Let's be real, a big chunk of your time goes into drafting, researching, and sifting through feedback. What if you could get hours back every week? We're not talking about replacing you; we're talking about giving you a seriously powerful assistant.

At Zavmo, we're all about working smarter. We're building an internal AI Productivity Hub specifically for L&D professionals. This isn't just theory; it's about practical tools you can use *today* to cut down on the tedious bits and focus on the creative, high-impact work you love. Think of it as having a digital intern who never sleeps and knows everything.

First Draft Automation

Feed AI a raw SME document, a bullet-point outline, or even a presentation. It'll spit out a structured first draft of a facilitator guide, participant workbook, or even quiz questions in minutes. You then refine, add the human touch, and focus on engagement, not just getting words on a page. Honestly, it's a game-changer for getting started.

Feedback Synthesis & Analysis

Got hundreds of open-ended comments from 'happy sheets' or Level 2 assessments? Instead of manually reading every single one, just drop them into our AI tool. It'll instantly identify key themes, pinpoint sentiment (what's positive, what's negative), and even suggest actionable improvements for your next iteration. This saves you hours of tedious data crunching.

Content Curation & Research

Need to quickly find compelling statistics, a relevant case study, or a new analogy for a specific training topic (e.g., 'improving customer negotiation skills')? Ask the AI. It acts as a super-fast research assistant, giving you curated insights and content ideas in seconds, drastically accelerating your content development phase. No more endless Google searches.

Communication Campaign Crafting

Launching a new programme means a lot of comms: pre-training 'what's in it for me' emails, post-training reinforcement messages, and updates for managers. AI can draft these entire sequences for you, ensuring consistent tone and messaging. You just review, tweak, and hit send. It's about making sure your programmes get the attention they deserve, effortlessly.

The honest bit

You’ve started things before

Most of them were built for a room full of people who aren’t you. A cohort moves on whether or not your week allowed it, and by the third week the thing you’re behind on becomes the reason you stop opening it.

There’s no cohort here, and no timetable to fall behind. Before anything starts, Zavmo asks when you’re sharpest and how long you can realistically sit down for, then builds the sessions around those answers. A bad fortnight changes your pace. It doesn’t put you behind.

And you only pay once you start learning. Searching and planning are free, and you can cancel any time — so the cost of finding out is an afternoon, not a year.

What it costs

Less than one coaching session. Every month.

A single career-coaching hour costs more than a month of this, and it ends when the hour does. Zavmo doesn't. It's £70 a month, about £2.30 a day, for a companion that knows a Senior Regional Training Specialist, works on the job you actually do, and keeps going at your pace rather than a timetable's.

Searching and planning stay free. You only pay when you start learning.
Your credits are yours. Regulated, and they don't vanish when a subscription ends.
Cancel any time and billing stops. No notice period, no minimum term.

Your path, personalised

You have the map. Walking it is the part we do together.

This route runs to 7 national skill standards. That is a real journey.

Zavmo shapes a learning experience as unique as you are. It fits how you learn, your pace and the work you already do. Every step stays benchmarked to recognised national standards. That’s the plan for becoming a Senior Regional Training Specialist: personal to you, and it still counts. The first steps are free.

Independent research finds well-designed intelligent tutoring performs nearly as well as one-to-one human tutoring: VanLehn (2011), Educational Psychologist.

A private tutor in the UK averages £35–40 an hour . Zavmo is £70/month.

A Zavmo curriculum screen: a three-month plan of nine units, ninety credits, each one an Ofqual-regulated unit the learner can tick or untick before starting. — A real plan on learn.zavmo.ai: Ofqual-regulated units, credits, and a three-month run at your own pace.

15Where to go from here

Other roles at Level 5

Same depth of qualification, different job. Useful if the work appeals but this particular role does not.

Other roles in Learning and Development

Stay in the field you know and move sideways rather than up.

If you leave this industry

The skills you'll develop here – instructional design, facilitation, learning analytics, and stakeholder management – are highly transferable. You could easily move into L&D roles in other sectors like technology, finance, healthcare, or even consulting. Good L&D professionals are always in demand, regardless of the industry.

Not sure this is the right direction?

Work out what you actually want from work first, then come back and see which roles fit it. Takes about ten minutes.

You're not behind. You're right on time. The shift is only just beginning. Your role won't look the same in two years. Be the one who leads the change, not the one it happens to. Build my plan, free Here's the first ten minutes: a 2-minute confidence check → your personalised roadmap → meet the tutors matched to you. No card, cancel any time. No card. Build your plan, see your roadmap and meet the twelve tutors matched to you. All free. When you're ready to start learning, it's £70 a month, billed monthly. Cancel any time and billing stops.
