Job Description

Ensure learning is impactful, purposeful, and meaningful with us at PowerUp Learning Academy (AKA PowerUpSuccess Group). We focus on practical training for leaders, sales teams and customer-facing staff across Malaysia, turning everyday challenges into clear, applicable learning. Our approach combines evidence-based design with hands-on, engaging delivery methods so learning transfers to daily work and shows measurable results.

As the Learning & Development Specialist, your core purpose is to build and scale end-to-end learning journeys that solve real business problems. You will design curricula, facilitator guides, participant workbooks and digital modules, manage multiple projects and collaborate closely with trainers, consultants and clients to ensure quality delivery. You will also set up evaluation approaches and pilot learning technologies to make programmes easier to deliver and easier for learners to apply.

Your Growth & Impact

  • Expand your instructional design portfolio by owning diverse programmes across leadership, sales and customer experience, and by translating business needs into clear learning outcomes. Build a library of facilitator guides, participant materials and assessments that demonstrate measurable behaviour change.
  • Lead client-facing needs analysis, stakeholder workshops and scoping conversations to propose pragmatic learning solutions. Strengthen consultative skills that connect HR priorities with operational outcomes and client expectations.
  • Sharpen facilitation and digital learning skills through co-delivery, independent sessions and digital module production. Work hands-on with tools like Canva, LMS authoring platforms, and practical microlearning formats to reach learners where they work.
  • Build robust project delivery experience by managing multiple programmes, vendors and timelines with clear documentation and version control. Improve rollout processes and learn to balance scope, quality and client deadlines in a professional services setting.
  • Connect with a close-knit team of trainers and consultants who provide regular feedback and practical coaching. Develop a visible track record of impact that positions you to lead larger programmes or move into senior L&D consulting roles.
