• Leverage AI-enabled tools and workflows to accelerate content production, prototyping, and multimedia development while maintaining quality standards
• Produce and edit video-based learning content, including screen recordings, annotations, captions, voiceovers, and motion graphics
• Develop reusable visual systems, templates, and standards that improve consistency across courses, the Academy platform, and Community experiences
• Support visual branding and user experience within Varicent Academy (Docebo) and Varicent Community (Gainsight)
• Perform quality reviews to ensure multimedia assets meet standards for accessibility, usability, accuracy, and learner experience

What You Bring

• Experience creating multimedia, visual, video, or motion design assets for learning, education, enablement, or software-based environments
• Advanced proficiency with Figma and experience creating scalable design systems and visual assets
• Experience using AI-enabled creative workflows to improve design, multimedia production, prototyping, or content creation processes
• Strong understanding of visual design principles, including typography, hierarchy, layout, composition, and user experience
• Ability to translate complex concepts into clear visuals that support learner understanding and reduce cognitive load
• Experience collaborating with subject matter experts, instructional designers, or cross-functional stakeholders to deliver multimedia projects
• Strong communication, presentation, and feedback-integration skills with the ability to explain design decisions and iterate effectively
• Experience with tools such as Camtasia, Vyond, Articulate Storyline/Rise, ElevenLabs, Claude, or similar multimedia and learning technologies
