Learning & Development; L&D Instructor; Level I or Level II

Position: Learning & Development (L&D) Instructor (Level I or Level II)

Position Title:
Learning & Development (L&D) Instructor (Level I or Level II)

Reports To: Learning & Development (L&D) Manager

Supervises: N/A

Job Status: Non-Exempt

Job Grade: $20.77-$29.17 hourly DOE

Overview

State ECU is growing our Learning & Development team-and we're intentionally hiring this role at either the Level I or Level II scope. That means we'll match the position level (and the day-to-day responsibilities) to your experience, education, and demonstrated training expertise.

If you're earlier in your L&D career but hungry to grow, you'll thrive at Level I. If you've already led trainings end-to-end and can own small projects with limited supervision, you may be a Level II fit.

Why work at State ECU

At State ECU, we invest in our people through continuous learning, collaboration, and real opportunity to grow your career in a supportive community. We live the credit union philosophy of "people helping people"-and we take pride in delivering consistent, exceptional experiences for our members and one another.

The Opportunity

Reporting to the Learning & Development Manager, this role supports the full training lifecycle—from needs assessment to design, delivery, and continuous improvement-serving staff across the credit union. The impact is direct: stronger employee engagement, more consistent service excellence, and better performance outcomes.

Instructor I (Level I scope)
