🎬 About the Role

Are you an Instructional Designer who thrives on creative problem-solving and storytelling—and loves building learning experiences that feel more like YouTube Shorts than corporate eLearning?

We're looking for a customer-obsessed, outside-the-box thinker to develop performance-driven training for customer support teams. You’ll join a forward-thinking L&D group that blends AI, microlearning, and interactive design to produce training learners actually want to engage with.

You’ll work with coaching-oriented leads who value flexibility, creativity, and comfort with ambiguity. Your mission: turn product and soft skills training (empathy, clarity, process management) into short-form, high-impact learning using tools like Synthesia, 7Taps, and Articulate 360.

🎯 What You’ll Do

Design full learning journeys using microlearning, gamification, and real-world scenarios
Collaborate with project leads and SMEs to turn complex ideas into engaging, learner-friendly content
Build simulations and AI-powered content using Storyline, Synthesia, and 7Taps
Use prompt engineering to generate scripts, assessments, and job aids
Review and refine existing training to improve clarity, retention, and engagement
Manage timelines and deliverables across multiple projects
Simplify executive-level content into clear, digestible learning assets

🔍 What We’re Looking For

3–15+ years of Instructional Design experience (open on experience level)
Advanced Articulate Storyline skills (layers, triggers, xAPI, JavaScript functions)
Ability to create short-form learning (under 3 minutes) that’s clear, sharp, and impactful
Confidence in ambiguous environments with tight timelines
Bonus if you’ve created TikToks, Reels, or Shorts
Strong stakeholder communication and project ownership
No advanced degree required—we value curiosity, creativity, and results
