Project Design Lead in Southampton

ABOUT MOLT

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