Good training doesn't feel like training. It feels like someone finally explained the thing clearly, at the right moment, in a format that respects your time. That's the bar we're hiring for with this
Remote Instructional Designer role on our Learning & Development team — fully remote, $110,000 a year.
Why This Role Exists
Employees don't remember badly built training. They remember the modules that dragged, the compliance course they clicked through without reading, the workshop that never once mentioned their actual job. We're trying to build the opposite of that — learning experiences people finish, retain, and can point to as the moment something clicked. You'll be the person turning business needs and subject-matter knowledge into courses that actually work.
What You'll Own
- Design and build training programs — eLearning modules, instructor-led sessions, blended formats, job aids — from concept through launch.
- Apply instructional design frameworks such as ADDIE, SAM, or Agile, depending on what the project actually calls for.
- Write scripts and storyboards, then turn them into finished multimedia content using authoring tools such as Articulate Storyline or Adobe Captivate.
- Publish and manage content inside our LMS, keeping it organized and accessible.
- Run needs assessments to figure out where skill gaps actually sit, not just where someone assumes they do.
- Partner with subject matter experts to pull real, usable content out of their heads and onto the page.
- Track training effectiveness through surveys, completion data, and performance metrics, and revise based on the numbers.
- Juggle several projects at once, each with its own timeline, stakeholders, and scope.
- Coach facilitators and trainers so a course lands the same way no matter who's delivering it.
Qualifications
- Bachelor's degree, minimum requirement.
- 3 years of experience in instructional design, ideally inside a corporate L&D team.
- A portfolio or track record showing training programs you've actually shipped, not just planned.
- Solid grasp of instructional design models and how to pick the right one for a given project.
- Hands-on skill with eLearning authoring tools and LMS platforms.
- Writing that's clear enough to teach with — no jargon standing in for explanation.
- Comfort reading data and adjusting a course based on what it says.
- Working knowledge of Microsoft Office and standard virtual collaboration tools like Zoom or Teams.
Nice to Have
- Master's degree in a related field.
- Experience designing compliance or technical training specifically.
- Familiarity with accessibility standards for digital learning content.
- Video editing or voiceover production skills.
How You'll Work
You'll report to L&D but spend real time with HR and individual department managers, since a course built without input from the people who actually do the job tends to miss the point. Expect a mix of independent design work and live facilitation — some weeks are heads-down storyboarding, others involve running a workshop or gathering feedback in real time. This job posting is also up on
Naukri Mitra, where instructional design roles at this level tend to get snapped up fast, so candidates who can speak to specific projects they've built stand out immediately.
Benefits
- Fully remote with flexible hours built around your output, not a fixed clock-in time.
- Health coverage extended to you and your dependents.
- Paid time off that's genuinely used, not just offered on paper.
- Annual bonus tied to measurable project outcomes.
- Budget set aside for courses, certifications, and industry conferences.
- A real path toward senior instructional design or L&D leadership roles.
The Kind of Person Who Thrives Here
Self-directed, because nobody's checking your screen time in a remote role. Detail-oriented enough to catch a typo in a quiz question before three hundred employees do. Curious about new tools and formats rather than defaulting to the same template every time. And collaborative — the best instructional designers we've worked with treat SMEs as partners, not just sources to extract information from.
Apply
Send your resume along with a link to one piece of training you've built, or a short description if it's not publicly shareable. Tell us what problem it solved and how you knew it worked. That's more useful to us than a generic cover letter.
