- Devise and apply assessment strategies to measure learning effectiveness at the element, module, and course levels.
- Visualize instructional graphics, user interfaces, and end-to-end learning journeys in partnership with multimedia developers.
- Maintain accurate project documentation and course folders to support quality control and version management.
- Communicate proactively and professionally with SMEs, internal teams, and client stakeholders throughout the design and development lifecycle.
- Build strong cross-functional relationships to leverage internal tools, resources, and best practices.
Skills and Experience:
- Degree in Instructional Design, Adult Learning, Education Technology, or a related discipline.
- 3+ years of hands-on instructional design experience, with a portfolio demonstrating a range of learning solutions.
- 2+ years of experience with authoring tools (e.g., Articulate Storyline, RISE, Captivate, or Evolve) to develop sophisticated, adaptive learning content.
- Solid command of instructional design methodologies including ADDIE, SAM, backward design, and design thinking.
- Strong knowledge of adult learning theory, multimedia principles, and a good eye for visual design.
- Excellent English communication skills in both written and verbal, with the ability to adapt style and tone for diverse stakeholders.
- Proven ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously, prioritize effectively, and meet deadlines in a fast-paced, global environment.
- A flexible, resilient, and client-centered mindset with a track record of building trust and delivering results under pressure.
Nice to Have:
- Experience with multimedia development and graphic design
- Experience designing AI-driven learning experiences, enablement programs, or AI agents
- Familiarity with accessibility standards including Section 508 and WCAG guidelines
