Experience Design Project Lead in Southampton

MOLT is a fast-growing startup transforming how organisations learn. We design and deliver bespoke, engaging e-learning for the world's largest organisations with a small, focused team. Our roots are in management consulting, which shapes everything: how we think, how we deliver, and the standards we hold ourselves to. We combine learning design expertise with AI-powered production and a relentless focus on quality.

As our Learning Design Lead, you will turn client capability challenges into structured, effective learning programmes and lead them through to delivery. You'll work directly with senior stakeholders, design engaging learning experiences using MOLT's AI-powered workflow, and lead the production team through to final delivery.

You will own client relationships independently, maintain our quality bar across every output, and drive commercial growth by spotting where we can do more work.

• Lead curriculum design projects from brief through to structured, outcome-led delivery.
• Validate and refine AI-generated content to ensure quality, accuracy, and alignment with client goals.
• Design learning that drives real capability and behaviour change.
• Own client relationships throughout the full project lifecycle.
• Run discovery sessions and workshops to understand goals, audience, and business context.
• Build trusted relationships with senior stakeholders across multiple accounts.
• Lead internal production teams from project kickoff through to final delivery.
• Review outputs, maintain quality standards, and resolve issues early.
• Ensure final deliverables remain true to the original design intent.

• Grow existing client accounts by identifying further opportunities to add value.
• Support proposals, pitch decks, and client presentations, representing MOLT credibly in commercial conversations.

If the qualities below describe you, we’d like to hear from you - regardless of sector.

• You build trust quickly with senior stakeholders and create long-term relationships across multiple clients.
• You care about quality, structure, and getting things right.
• Commercial instinct: You should spot growth opportunities, understand value, and be comfortable in commercial conversations.
• You’re confident using AI tools such as Claude and OpenAI, and are strong across Microsoft Office, especially PowerPoint.
• Background in management consulting, professional services, or L&D consultancy.
• Experience in learning design or training across in-person, blended, or digital formats.
• A strong interest in how AI is reshaping learning design and content production.

We’re looking for someone who enjoys the client-facing nature of the role and sees travel as part of the opportunity.
