Information Architect (Mission Training)

Responsibilities:

Content Organization & Structure

• Organize complex system information into clear, logical learning pathways.
• Develop content outlines, structural templates, and standardized naming conventions.
• Create and maintain content hierarchies for training modules, system documentation, and performance support materials.
• Support version control and content updates as systems evolve.

• Develop taxonomies, content models, and metadata frameworks for training assets.
• Standardize naming conventions, content hierarchies, and structural templates across instructional projects.
• Establish standards for organizing and versioning training materials as products evolve.
• Ensure alignment between documentation, training materials, and system updates.

Instructional Design Support

• Partner with instructional designers to align content structure with learning objectives and performance outcomes.
• Break down technical concepts into digestible, learner-centered formats.
• Sequence content to support scenario-based and performance-based training.
• Ensure consistency across training materials and modules.

Visual Information Design

• Develop diagrams, workflows, process maps, and system overviews to clarify relationships and dependencies.
• Support the design of UI simulations and backend system representations for training.
• Improve visual clarity and reduce cognitive overload in training materials.

LMS & Knowledge Integration

• Support the organization and discoverability of content within the LMS.
• Assist in tagging, categorizing, and structuring digital learning assets.
• Help ensure training materials remain aligned with system documentation and updates.

Continuous Improvement

• Gather feedback on content usability and clarity.
