- Collaborate with instructional designers to define course-level learning outcomes, competencies, and scope.
- Validate curriculum structure, sequencing, and instructional content for accuracy and relevance.
- Review and validate assessments, including knowledge checks, performance-based assessments, and capstone requirements.
- Participate in structured design reviews, working sessions, and milestone approvals.
- Graduate-level degree in business, management, or leadership.
- Experience teaching workforce-training, undergraduate, or graduate courses in leadership or management (specific experience teaching courses in business ethics preferred).
- Experience contributing to academic programs, workforce training, or continuing education.
- Experience creating or reviewing content, assessments, activities, and resources for online or in-person learning courses.
- Experience working with instructional designers or academic institutions.
- Understanding of competency-based education or outcomes-based training models.
- Deep, current knowledge of concepts in management and leadership.
- Ability to translate real-world situations into teachable competencies.
- Strong communication skills and ability to collaborate with instructional designers.
- Attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.
- Professional judgment to balance educational rigor with feasibility.
- Contract/project-based engagement.
- Expect at least one weekly working session with the assigned Instructional Designer, plus independent content development time between sessions.
- Remote collaboration with periodic structured working sessions.
- SME is expected to produce content independently; Alchemy's instructional design team supports content development.
