Job Summary:

Drata is building a world-class customer education function — and we're looking for the person who will own it.

As Learning & Development Specialist, you'll be the architect of how Drata customers learn: designing the programs, building the certifications, and creating the infrastructure that helps thousands of security and compliance practitioners get value from Drata faster and more independently. A critical part of this role is understanding that Enterprise and SMB customers don't learn the same way — you'll design programs that meet each segment where they are, with the right depth, format, and pacing for their needs.

You'll sit within the Digital CS team — alongside Community, in-app guidance, automated playbooks, and 1:M events — and you'll be the expert who defines what great customer education looks like at Drata across every customer segment.

This is a senior IC role. You won't manage people on day one, but you'll lead the discipline. You'll set the strategy, own the roadmap, and be the voice of customer education across the company. As the function matures, there's a clear path to building a team under you.

You'll report directly to the Sr. Director of Digital CS, who leads all of Drata's Digital CS programs.

What you'll do:

Build and mature the Drata Academy program

Own the Drata Academy roadmap — course library strategy, learning path design, and the overall curriculum architecture across Drata's product suite (GRC, Trust Center, AIQA, TPRM)
Design distinct learning experiences for Enterprise and SMB customers — Enterprise teams need depth, role-based paths, and content that scales across large orgs; SMB customers need fast time-to-value, opinionated guidance, and lean formats that fit a lean team
Take Academy from a newly launched platform to a mature, comprehensive education program with measurable customer outcomes
Define what 'good' looks like for customer education at Drata — frameworks, standards, and content quality bar
Build a scalable content production process using AI-assisted authoring tools (Claude Design, Arcade, and similar) to create high-quality courses without engineering dependency
Partner with Product to stay ahead of feature releases and ensure education content ships in sync with the product

Launch and own the Drata Admin Certification program

Design and build Drata's first customer certification program — the Drata Admin Certification — from curriculum design through to assessment, badging, and renewal
Define the certification framework: competency model, exam structure, passing criteria, and credential lifecycle
Partner with the Customer Success, Sales, and Marketing teams to position the Drata Admin Certification as a meaningful credential in the GRC and security compliance market
Build the ecosystem around certification: study guides, prep courses, practice assessments, and community-based peer learning

Drive education impact with AI and data

Use AI tools meaningfully throughout the content lifecycle — not just for drafting, but for personalization, adaptive learning paths, and content gap identification at scale
Define and own education KPIs: course completion rates, certification pass rates, time-to-proficiency, and correlation between education engagement and GRR/NRR
Partner with the Digital CS team's data infrastructure (Snowflake, Hook.co) to connect Academy engagement to customer health scores and retention outcomes
Report education program performance in the quarterly Digital CS QBR and continuously improve based on what the data shows

Integrate education across the Digital CS ecosystem

Connect Academy to the broader Digital CS motion — surface course recommendations in automated playbooks, in-app tooltips, and community content
Partner with the Community Manager to make community a learning accelerator: expert-led sessions, peer knowledge sharing, and certification prep cohorts
Collaborate with the 1:M events program to create learning continuity between live sessions and self-paced Academy content
Ensure education content reinforces the in-app guidance experience — tooltips, Arcade videos, and Academy courses telling a consistent story

What you'll bring:

5–8 years of experience in customer education, learning & development, or instructional design at a B2B SaaS company
Proven track record building or maturing a customer education program — ideally across companies at different stages (early-stage build to scaled program)
Experience designing L&D programs for both Enterprise and SMB customers — you understand that a Fortune 500 security team and a 20-person startup have fundamentally different learning needs, timelines, and success metrics, and you've built programs that reflect that
Certification program experience — you've designed, launched, or owned a professional certification or credentialing program end-to-end
Hands-on LMS expertise — deep experience with Skilljar, Gainsight Academy, Docebo, Thought Industries, or similar platforms
AI fluency with real business impact — you've used AI tools to meaningfully accelerate content creation, improve learning outcomes, or scale a program; you can speak to the results
Strong instructional design instincts — you understand adult learning principles, can design for different modalities (video, interactive, assessment), and know what makes content actually stick
Data-driven — you track completion rates, certification outcomes, and business impact, and you use that data to make decisions
Cross-functional collaborator — comfortable working with Product, CS, Marketing, and Support to align education to the customer journey
Bonus: experience in the GRC, security compliance, or trust space; familiarity with Drata, SOC 2, ISO 27001, or similar frameworks

Why this role?

You'll own a discipline, not just a program — this is the person who defines what customer education means at Drata, with full strategic ownership
Academy just launched — you're coming in at the moment of maximum leverage, when the platform exists but the real program-building work is just beginning
The certification you build will matter in the market — Drata has thousands of customers in the GRC space; a Drata Admin Certification has real credentialing potential
You'll be embedded in one of the most forward-thinking Digital CS functions in B2B SaaS — with Community, AI-driven playbooks, in-app guidance, and 1:M events all working together
Clear growth path — as the education function matures, this role grows with it
