Instructional Designer

Imagine a role where Figma and storytelling share a desk: that's the Instructional Designer seat waiting for you at Startup Sphere in Berkeley, CA. This part-time job in CA answers 5 years of effort with $84,000 - $131,000 and answers ambition with a clear way up.

• Own the full creative process from initial brief to final handoff
• Stitch fragmented brand assets into a system that scales past Startup Sphere's next phase
• Wring narrative clarity from a feature list three product managers fought over
• Reconcile legal's caveats with a layout that still breathes
• Sketch early concepts that give Startup Sphere campaigns a recognizable visual signature
• Curate and art-direct a consistent visual feed across owned channels
• Defend a strong idea in the room, then refine it the moment data disagrees
• Wring a campaign system from an one-line creative tagline

• Real Micro-Interactions chops, plus the Atomic Design curiosity to keep growing
• A scrappy attitude and eagerness to learn new skills
• 4 years that taught you which corners can be cut
• 5+ years that left you with strong instincts and few illustrations

The goal-oriented people at Startup Sphere have spent years proving that world-class Color Theory can absolutely come out of Berkeley. The team trusts each other to do the right thing without constant oversight or micromanagement.
