The Instructional Designer (Mid-Level) designs and develops high-quality online learning experiences that drive measurable performance outcomes in a rapidly evolving corporate environment. This role combines strong instructional design fundamentals with design thinking, design for application (performance-based practice), critical thinking, and the thoughtful use of AI to accelerate innovation and scalability. The ideal candidate is an advanced multimedia producer (e-learning, video, and visual design), comfortable working across an LMS ecosystem, and capable of managing multiple projects with basic-to-intermediate project management rigor.

• Instructional Design and Learning Strategy
• Lead end-to-end development of online learning experiences (needs analysis through evaluation), ensuring alignment to business goals and learner performance outcomes.
• Apply design thinking practices (empathize, define, ideate, prototype, test) to create learner-centered solutions that improve adoption, proficiency, and behavior change.
• Translate complex concepts into clear, engaging instruction using effective information architecture, storytelling, scenario design, and assessment strategy.
• Design for application by building practice-forward learning (workflows, simulations, scenarios, guided exercises, challenge-based tasks) that support on-the-job transfer.
• Partner with SMEs and stakeholders to define learning objectives, success criteria, and measurement plans (knowledge checks, skill demonstrations, and outcomes).
• Adaptive and Data-Informed Learning
• Contribute to adaptive learning experiences (e.g., branching pathways, recommendations, modular progression) to personalize instruction and reduce time-to-proficiency.
• Use learner and business insights (completion data, feedback, support trends, etc.) to continuously iterate and improve learning effectiveness.
