- Create supporting material/media (audio, video, simulations, role plays, games, etc)
- Determine criteria to measure learners’ performance and develop assessment materials
- Plan education sessions for Customer First teams in order to facilitate their understanding of the Customer Identity Cloud and Workforce Identity Cloud product
What you’ll bring to the role
