Learning Operations Specialist (Contract)

Company Overview

Imagine a piloted air taxi that takes off vertically, then quietly carries you and your fellow passengers over the congested city streets below, enabling you to spend more time with the people and places that matter most. At Joby, we've been working to make that dream a reality since 2009 and we're now in the final stages of certifying our aircraft with the FAA. With plans to launch our aircraft in the US and Dubai, we're now scaling manufacturing and preparing for the launch of our commercial service.

Overview

The Learning and Development team at Joby is looking for a 3-month contractor to build the operational foundation behind our learning programs. You'll bring order to our learning content, set up the systems that manage our vendors and requests, and handle the logistics for our 2027 leadership program launch. You'll also identify automation opportunities to minimize admin time. This is a hands-on role that combines process design with day-to-day coordination. The work touches teams and leaders across the business, so you'll get a real look at how Joby and Joby Learning operate. You'll own a lot of ambiguous work, and we'll prioritize the full scope together in your first weeks.

Responsibilities

Audit, simplify, and refresh our learning content. Inventory learning content across platforms, identify duplication and gaps, and recommend a go-forward structure so Joby team members and leaders can find what they need just in time.

Promote Joby Learning content. Drive the marketing and promotional efforts behind our learning content. Get creative about making it easy to find and reinforcing learning: TV screens, stickers, cards, QR codes on articles, and placement in lounges, common areas, SharePoint, and our weekly newsletter.
