Enablement Designer, Recruiting and People – Contractor (12-Month Engagement)

The shape of it

In the posting’s own words

This engagement is scoped around content, design, and delivery. Overall program ownership, roadmap, and long-term governance sit with Recruiting Operations leadership, who you will report to and partner with closely. Your job is to build the material and get it into people’s hands — and to leave behind a documented, maintainable system when the engagement ends.

What it asks for · 8

• 5+ years in Talent Acquisition, Enablement, Learning & Development, or instructional design, with meaningful time inside or directly supporting a recruiting function
• A prolific content builder — you can point to curricula, playbooks, and training materials you personally designed and shipped
• A confident facilitator who can hold a room of experienced recruiters, in person and virtually
• Fast to ramp and comfortable operating with limited hand-holding; you can walk into a new organization, diagnose the gaps, and start producing
• Experienced working as a contractor or consultant, with a track record of scoped delivery against a timeline
• Skilled at building credibility quickly with stakeholders you do not manage
• Comfortable designing for a global audience across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC
• Experienced developing or coaching people leaders is a strong plus

What the job covers

• Design and build modular enablement content across the recruiting lifecycle: intake, sourcing, assessment, closing, candidate experience, systems.
• Produce it to a publishable standard: facilitator guides, participant materials, job aids, async modules, knowledge checks, and the LMS and SCORM packaging that gets them live.
• Facilitate the core curriculum on an agreed cadence, including regional delivery.
• Build the measurement layer: completion, confidence, and manager-reported readiness against a baseline.
• Contribute the AI layer into existing manager development rather than building a parallel leader track.
• Leave a maintainable content model: source files, owners, review cadence, update triggers.
