Join our Product Services team as the person responsible for how our customers learn to use our platform. As an Instructional Designer, your job is to take complex technical features and turn them into clear, self-guided learning experiences—everything from interactive simulations and infographics to step-by-step guides. You’ll be the bridge between our technical experts and our users, making sure that even the most complicated concepts are easy to understand and apply.

We’re looking for someone who is well-versed in adult learning theories but knows how to apply them in a practical, hands-on way. If you take pride in making technical content accessible and enjoy seeing users "get it," you’ll fit right in.

• Create Learning Materials:Write and build instructional content, specifically focusing on simulations and step-by-step guides that help users move from theory to practical application.
• Build Assessments:Create meaningful simulation-based assessments that effectively measure whether our training is helping users master the product.
• Define Success:Write clear learning objectives and create assessments that measure whether our training is actually working.
• Guide the Process:Act as the go-to person for instructional design best practices, helping internal teams understand the most effective ways to teach our users.
• Analyze Needs:Look at customer feedback and product updates to figure out what training gaps need to be filled.
• Collaborate Cross-Functionally:Work closely with Content Writers, Video Designers, and Product Managers to gather information and see projects through to completion.
• Storyboard & Prototype:Sketch out and prototype your ideas early on so stakeholders can see the vision and provide feedback before you build the final version.
• Maintain & Improve:Use data and learner feedback to fix, update, and polish existing content so it stays accurate as our product evolves.

You’re the kind of designer who can look at a messy technical document and see exactly how to break it down for a beginner. You’re organized, stay calm when priorities shift, and are always looking for a better way to explain things.
