Vision: We see a world where each individual understands their God-given mission in life and is doing their best to fulfill it; a world where Catholic leaders are influential voices in society; a world where Jesus' example of loving, servant leadership is modeled in every family, workplace, parish, and community.

Purpose: Catholic Leadership Institute (CLI) provides bishops, priests, deacons, religious, and lay persons in the Roman Catholic Church with world-class, pastoral leadership formation and consulting services that strengthen their confidence and competence in ministry, enabling them to articulate a vision for their local church, to call forth the gifts of those they lead, and to create more vibrant faith communities rooted in Jesus Christ.

Summary: The Sr. Learning Experience Manager will be a critical player in designing and developing extraordinary learning experiences that enlighten, educate, and help grow bishops, priests, religious, and lay people. Focused on translating opportunities for greater outcomes into engaging learning solutions, the Sr. Learning Experience Manager will use expertise in adult learning and instructional design, partnering with subject-matter experts and internal and external stakeholders, to design and catalog iterations of training materials, including hard copy, electronic copy, eLearning courses, slide decks, and infographics. Where no subject-matter experts exist, the Sr. Learning Experience Manager will utilize their broad experience, curiosity, and learning agility to quickly become a subject-matter expert in their own right. This position will oversee the design process from the beginning to conclusion, including assessing the effectiveness of the training created. Having an inventive spirit and leaning into experimentation will be vital. The Sr. Leaning Experience Manger will coordinate with the Learning Experience Designer, the communication team, and the project management team to ensure the development of material is created within the design requirements and on project timelines.

The Sr. Learning Experience Manager will need strong planning and project management skills to manage multiple priorities and pivot with agility when circumstances change, or a new direction is set. The Sr. Learning Experience Manager will also need strong business acumen allowing him/her to understand critical business needs, analyze issues, and communicate effectively with senior leaders. The Sr. Learning Experience Manager will also have a high degree of ownership and will thrive in a fun, fast-paced environment. This position may require some travel to the Malvern, PA office for team meetings 4-7 times per year.
