Remote, Oregon, United States Productive Playhouse Full time $60,000 - $120,000 per year

Productive Playhouse (PPH) is looking for a consultant to help us launch our very first training and development function. We currently have no formal programs in place, so this role is both strategic and hands-on: we need someone who can build the foundation while also rolling up their sleeves to create and deliver training.

What you'll do:

  • Assess company-wide training needs and create a roadmap of priorities
  • Design and pilot 2–3 core training programs, such as Leadership Development or Skills-Based Training for Project Management
  • Develop templates, guides, and job aids that we can reuse and scale
  • Provide a 12–18 month L&D roadmap and facilitate a "train-the-trainer" session for HR and managers

Tools we use:

We currently use EasyLlama LMS, but only for compliance training. The consultant will help us determine whether to expand its use or explore other scalable solutions.

What we're looking for:

  • Strong background in both instructional design and L&D strategy
  • Confident facilitator with engaging communication skills
  • Experience with leadership and skills-based training (CA/FL compliance familiarity a plus)
  • Ability to deliver scalable, practical solutions within a fixed project scope
  • Comfortable with remote delivery; experience designing engaging virtual trainings is essential

This is a short-term contract (12–14 weeks) with milestone-based deliverables. Great opportunity to make a lasting impact by shaping how our company grows, learns, and develops.

To Apply

Please include the following in your proposal/application:

  • Portfolio or Samples – At least one example of a leadership or project management training program you designed and delivered remotely, with an explanation of the outcomes.
  • Approach & Methodology – A short outline of how you typically conduct a needs assessment and design programs.
  • Experience Summary – Highlights of your background in instructional design and L&D strategy, with specific examples of remote delivery.
  • Technology Familiarity – Experience with LMS platforms (please specify if you've worked with EasyLlama or similar tools).
  • Timeline & Availability – Confirmation you can commit to a 12–14 week project with milestone deliverables.
  • Budget Proposal – Fixed-fee or milestone-based pricing, broken down by phase (Discovery, Development, Handoff).
