We are currently looking for a passionate and strategic Instructional Designer who is equally skilled in storytelling, learning design, and partnering with business functions to craft winning solutions.

Role Summary:

We’re hiring a Mid-Level Instructional Designer who brings strong expertise in instructional design, storyboarding, and learning solutioning.

Key Responsibilities:

• Analyze client requirements in collaboration with Sales, SMEs, and project stakeholders to define learning goals and strategies.
• Create detailed instructional design documents (IDDs) and storyboards for eLearning, microlearning, gamified modules, and scenario-based learning.
• Work closely with the Sales/Pre-Sales team to design instructional solutions for RFPs/RFIs, craft high-impact proposal content, and support client pitches or demos.
• Participate in client discovery calls to gather training needs and propose relevant digital learning strategies.
• Translate technical or complex concepts into learner-centric, engaging instructional content.
• Apply adult learning theories, Bloom’s taxonomy, and ADDIE/AGILE models to structure learning content effectively.
• Collaborate with visual designers and development teams to ensure instructional integrity and content alignment in the final product.
• Conduct content QA and storyboard-to-course reviews to ensure learning outcomes are met.
• Stay up to date with learning trends and recommend innovative formats where relevant (e.g., simulations, interactive videos, branching).

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• 4 to 6 years of experience in instructional design, with a strong focus on storyboarding and solution design.
• Ability to independently design and pitch learning experiences to internal teams and clients.
• Strong written communication and storytelling skills; ability to present concepts visually.
• Comfort working with Sales/BD teams and contributing to solution decks, proposal documents, and client meetings.
• Exposure to eLearning levels (1–3), gamified learning, microlearning, and scenario-based design.
• Excellent collaboration skills with cross-functional teams including graphics, tech, and client services.
• Bachelor’s or Master’s in Instructional Design, Educational Technology, Mass Communication, or related field.

Preferred (Good to Have):

• Experience in designing learning for industries like healthcare, BFSI, manufacturing, or infrastructure.
• Exposure to tools like Miro, MS Visio, or whiteboarding platforms to visualize learning journeys.
• Awareness of accessibility (WCAG), DEI in learning, or localization strategies.

What We Offer:

• A creative and growth-oriented work environment with exposure to global clients.
• Opportunities to contribute strategically to both design and pre-sales efforts.
• A dynamic team that values innovation, ownership, and continuous learning.
