Learning Design Contractor (Kenya/South Africa)
About this role
AMI is looking for an ambitious and talented Learning Design Contractor to join our flexible consultant pool, supporting the Learning Design team with additional capacity during periods of high demand. This is not a single-project engagement; you'll be called on across a range of learning design assignments as they arise, working independently and delivering high-quality work with minimal day-to-day oversight.
Design, develop and refine workplace learning content and programs in line with AMI's methodology and quality standards
Take a brief or scope from the Learning team and translate it into a structured, engaging holistic learning solution with minimal hand-holding
Work independently across the full learning design lifecycle; from initial concept through to final, delivery-ready assets
Flag risks, gaps, or scope questions proactively rather than waiting for direction
Manage own timelines and deliverables against agreed milestones, communicating early on any changes
Collaborate as needed with Senior Programme Managers, Learner Success Managers, and Impact Intelligence team members to ensure design integrity through delivery
Incorporate feedback efficiently and maintain AMI's brand, tone, and instructional standards across all outputs
Requirements
Proven experience in learning experience design
Demonstrated ability to work independently and manage a variable, project-based workload with minimal supervision
Strong grounding in adult learning principles and practical, behaviour-change-oriented design
Excellent written communication and ability to translate complex or ambiguous briefs into clear, engaging learning content
Reliable self-management: meets deadlines, communicates proactively, and delivers consistent quality without close direction
Responsible use of AI within provided scope
Experience designing learning content for an African business, entrepreneurship, or management/leadership context
Familiarity with Socratic or discovery-based facilitation methodologies
A degree or equivalent qualification
5+ years of experience in learning design
Comfortable working autonomously in a fast-paced, flexible engagement model
A proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with a high bar for quality
Genuine interest in people development and organizational learning across the African continent.
