The Instructional Designer will join the Training Team at our Government client. This role focuses on designing, developing, and delivering engaging training content to support election officers at the state, county, and city levels, as well as temporary election workers and the general public. You will create digital and print learning experiences that make complex election administration processes accessible, accurate, and easy to follow.

You will translate federal and state election laws, regulations, and procedures into clear, interactive training resources. Deliverables include eLearning modules, facilitator and learner guides, job aids, microlearning, handouts, PowerPoint presentations, video scripts, and knowledge base articles.

This role blends creativity with technical expertise. You’ll use Adobe Captivate and Adobe Learning Manager to create eLearning, Zendesk to build and organize knowledge base content, and Microsoft Office, SharePoint, and Smartsheets to develop content and manage resources.

The ideal candidate brings strong instructional design skills, attention to detail, and the ability to create learning that supports both new and veteran election officers as they navigate the long learning curve of election administration.

Note: As part of the interview process, candidates are strongly encouraged to share sample work or a portfolio. This can include PowerPoint presentations, job aids, eLearning courses, facilitator or learner guides, or other instructional design deliverables.
