## About the role

Own the Command Center training portfolio end to end (onboarding, refresher, remediation, and train-the-trainer) and run the qualification checkpoint that clears a person to work a Command Center position independently. Direct the work of instructional developers, setting the instructional design standard and the trainer-qualification bar consistently across sites, shifts, and employers.

## What they're looking for

- Aurora hires talented people with diverse backgrounds who are ready to help build a transportation ecosystem that will make our roads safer, get crucial goods where they need to go, and make mobility more efficient and accessible for all
- 6+ years in instructional design, curriculum development, or training program management, including 3+ years owning the full training portfolio for a safety-critical operational population or line of business
- Demonstrated experience building qualification or certification programs from zero, where a person's completion gates their authorization to perform the work
- Track record of building curriculum against controlled documentation (SOPs, work instructions, regulatory standards) and maintaining it through frequent change, with version control and audit-readiness
- Experience directing the work of instructional developers or contractors, setting the design standard, reviewing output, and holding quality without direct reporting authority
- Experience influencing manager- and director-level stakeholders outside your reporting line to adopt a standardized training or qualification practice
