Ken Santos
@kensantos
Instructional designer and creative operations professional building scalable learning and content systems.
What I'm looking for
I’m a cross-functional creative operations and learning professional with 16+ years of experience spanning instructional design, training facilitation, audio production, artist relations, and cultural project management. I’ve also been featured as composer and performer in Scotland’s national exhibition at the 61st Venice Biennale, credited as “Soundtrack by Ken Santos.”
In learning and enablement roles, I translate complex creative and technical concepts into scalable systems and high-quality outcomes. At Concentrix PH, I designed and facilitated technical and customer-facing training that improved agent readiness and drove a 300%+ increase in customer satisfaction during an account transition, plus a 35% improvement in first-response resolution rates through redesigned training frameworks.
Working independently, I manage complex, cross-functional projects across time zones without direct supervision—bringing structure to remote collaboration and measurable results. As an Independent Creative Operations & Content Consultant, I write and optimize content (keyword research, competitor analysis, on-page SEO) and support hiring and staffing by sourcing top-secret cleared engineers and professionals, while maintaining clear stakeholder communication and reporting using tools like Salesforce, Zendesk, HubSpot, Excel, and Articulate Storyline.
