Good online courses don't happen by accident — someone has to translate a subject matter expert's knowledge into something people can actually learn from a screen. We're hiring a
Remote E-Learning Specialist to do exactly that: build courses people finish, not just start.
This is a fully remote position paying
$70,000 a year, with the freedom to work from wherever you're most productive.
The Shape of the Work
You'll design and build e-learning content from the ground up — working with subject matter experts to figure out what a course actually needs to teach, then turning that into modules, assessments, and multimedia that hold someone's attention. This isn't just content formatting. You'll be applying real instructional design principles to make sure the learning actually sticks.
Many listings for
e-learning specialist jobs lean heavily toward technical production. This role expects both — the pedagogy behind effective adult learning and the technical skills to build it using tools like Articulate 360 or Adobe Captivate.
What Fills Your Week
- Partner with subject matter experts and instructional designers to nail down learning objectives before building anything
- Build interactive courses, modules, and assessments using tools like Articulate 360, Adobe Captivate, or comparable platforms
- Produce multimedia — video, graphics, animation, interactive simulations — that makes content genuinely engaging rather than a wall of slides
- Apply instructional design best practices and adult learning principles to everything you build
- Revisit older e-learning content and rework it to improve engagement and effectiveness
- Manage multiple e-learning projects at once, keeping delivery on schedule and quality consistent
- Coordinate with internal and external stakeholders throughout development, keeping everyone updated
- Track project timelines and report on milestones as work progresses
- Test courses thoroughly to catch technical bugs, usability issues, or content errors before launch
- Fold user and stakeholder feedback back into the material to keep improving it over time
- Confirm every course works properly within the LMS and meets accessibility standards like WCAG 2.1
- Train educators and other users on how to navigate and use the e-learning platforms and materials
- Build user guides and FAQs so people can self-serve support when questions come up
- Analyze learner engagement and performance data to inform what gets built or revised next
If you've been looking for a
remote instructional design vacancy near me without much luck, this role skips that hurdle — location doesn't factor into our candidate evaluation.
What You Should Bring
A bachelor's degree in instructional design, education, educational technology, or something closely related, with a master's degree adding weight if you have one. At least three years of hands-on experience in instructional design or e-learning development is expected.
- Real proficiency with e-learning authoring tools — Articulate 360, Adobe Captivate, Camtasia, or similar
- Solid grasp of adult learning theory and instructional design models like ADDIE or SAM
- Strong project management skills, since you'll be running several courses in development simultaneously
- Familiarity with learning management systems and SCORM/AICC standards
- Good communication skills for working smoothly across a remote team
Anyone tracking
e-learning hiring trends for 2026 has probably noticed that employers increasingly want specialists who can handle both instructional design and multimedia production, rather than splitting them into two separate roles. This position expects that same range.
What Would Strengthen Your Application
If you can also edit video or handle basic graphic design, say so — that skill set tends to blend naturally into this kind of work. Building content that genuinely meets WCAG accessibility requirements, or having reworked a course based on how learners actually performed in it, are the kinds of specifics worth calling out in your application.
