• Enable and support instructors, facilitators, and internal stakeholders by providing clear documentation, teaching materials, and guidance on how to deliver GitLab education content consistently in virtual environments
• Maintain a consistent instructional approach, visual style, and content standards across digital and virtual learning experiences while managing multiple projects, timelines, and stakeholders in an all-remote, asynchronous environment
