at Environmental Resources Management

🏢 About Environmental Resources Management

Environmental Resources Management (ERM) is a global sustainability consultancy that partners with leading organizations to accelerate their low-carbon transitions and advance ESG priorities. Working here means contributing to meaningful environmental impact while collaborating with experts across the world.

About This Role

As a Learning Content Developer, you will transform complex sustainability content into engaging, learner-ready materials that drive organizational change. Your work directly supports ERM's mission by equipping employees and clients with the knowledge needed to achieve net-zero goals.

💡 A Day in the Life

Your day might start with a stand-up with the global learning team, then you'll dive into building an eLearning module from a content outline provided by a Learning Content Designer. You'll use AI tools to draft scripts and create interactive elements, then review with a subject matter expert for accuracy. Later, you might edit a video asset or update a job aid based on feedback, all while managing deadlines across multiple projects.

🎯 Who Environmental Resources Management Is Looking For

  • Experienced in building learning assets (e.g., eLearning modules, videos, job aids) from source content, not just designing from scratch.
  • Proficient with AI-enabled content development tools (e.g., Articulate Rise, Camtasia, Vyond) and understands responsible AI use (e.g., avoiding bias, verifying outputs).
  • Strong writer and editor who can simplify technical sustainability concepts into clear, engaging language for diverse learners.
  • Comfortable working in a global, remote team, managing multiple priorities and collaborating across time zones.

📝 Tips for Applying to Environmental Resources Management

1

Highlight specific learning assets you've built from provided designs or content, not just your design work. Use examples like 'translated a 50-page technical report into a 15-minute interactive eLearning module.'

2

Demonstrate your proficiency with AI tools by naming specific ones (e.g., ChatGPT for drafting, Synthesia for video avatars) and explain how you ensure quality and ethical use.

3

Showcase your ability to work across cultures and time zones: mention experience collaborating with SMEs in different regions or adapting content for global audiences.

4

Tailor your portfolio to include samples related to sustainability, ESG, or technical topics – even if from other industries, show you can handle complex subject matter.

5

In your resume, use action verbs like 'translated,' 'adapted,' 'built,' and 'delivered' to emphasize your hands-on role in content development.

✉️ What to Emphasize in Your Cover Letter

['Your passion for sustainability and how this role aligns with your personal values.', 'Concrete examples of building learning assets from provided content, emphasizing speed and quality.', 'Your experience with AI tools and responsible use – e.g., how you review AI outputs for accuracy and inclusivity.', 'Your ability to collaborate with subject matter experts and stakeholders across global teams.']

⚠️ Common Mistakes to Avoid

  • Submitting a generic portfolio that doesn't show your ability to build from provided content – include examples of 'translation' work.
  • Overlooking the 'responsible AI' requirement – failing to mention ethical considerations or claiming AI can do all the work.
  • Ignoring the global collaboration aspect – not demonstrating experience with remote teamwork or cultural adaptation.
