Job Description:

The Instructional Designer will evaluate outdated training materials, observe current workflows, and develop modern, engaging, adult‑learning‑based content. This includes microlearning, job aids, interactive content, short-form video (including TikTok-style formats), and written assessments that measure both knowledge and application. The designer will build the full program; internal on‑the‑job trainers will handle delivery, so strong documentation and “train-the-trainer” alignment is crucial. The company currently does not have an instructional design software stack, so they are open to whatever tools the contractor prefers. They may invest in platforms, but ideally the candidate brings proficiency in their own toolbox.

Job Responsibility:

Conduct needs assessments through stakeholder interviews, onsite observations, and review of outdated materials
Apply adult learning theory to build modern, engaging, learner-centered content
Develop clear learning objectives and align all materials to those objectives
Create interactive and multimedia learning assets (eLearning, videos, microlearning, motion graphics, etc.)
Create written assessments that accurately measure knowledge retention and real-world application
Build microlearning modules, job aids, quick guides, and performance support tools
Redesign or rebrand content based on existing brand guidelines
Collaborate with internal leaders to design a train-the-trainer structure for on-the-job trainers
Present work, gather feedback, and iterate quickly with stakeholders

Requirements:

Adult Learning Theory Expertise: Strong understanding of how adults learn in operational and hands-on environments
Ability to translate complex tasks into digestible learning experiences
Modern Instructional Design & Multimedia Development: Skilled in creating interactive, engaging learning materials
Experience producing short-form video content (e.g., TikTok-style) and other visual learning formats
Familiar with rapid authoring tools and instructional design models (ADDIE, Agile, SAM)
Microlearning, Job Aids & In-Person Training Support: Strong background in developing microlearning modules and effective job aids
Ability to design programs that internal trainers can easily deliver
Experience building “train-the-trainer” resources preferred

Nice to have:

eLearning authoring tools (e.g., Articulate 360, Rise, Captivate, Vyond)
Video editing tools (e.g., Camtasia, Adobe Premiere Rush)
Graphic design (e.g., Canva, Adobe Creative Suite)
LMS familiarity is a plus but not required

What we offer:

medical, vision, dental, and life and disability insurance
eligible to enroll in our company 401(k) plan
