Instructional Designer

Instructional Designer

• 12 months contract role

Our Client

• A multinational insurance company

The Opportunity

Our client is making fundamental shifts from training their agents to empowering them, from death-by-PowerPoint training to experiential, activity-based ones; and from simply focusing on knowledge and skills to intentionally shaping desired behaviours.

As an Instructional Designer, you will:

• Build and launch learning products. Our client is building an entirely new curriculum for learners, with learning solutions that comprise digital, instructor-led, and work-based experiences. These solutions must be holistic, immersive, and designed to drive desired behaviors, outcomes, and ROI. You will be an instrumental partner for the writers and designers as the team devise and develop these learning products.

• Cultivate a community of practice. Our client is making a significant investment in developing their 300 trainers across the region. They've built a series of programmes to help them transition from trainer to learning catalyst (LC). Since ILT is a core part of the curriculum, you will have a role in shaping these LC programmes and activating that community in service of our client's curricular aspirations.

• Work with vendors. The project team is a small but mighty group of creatives. While it will design and develop content in-house, it must also seek to leverage crowdsourcing platforms, remote teams, and local vendors to achieve additional capacity and capability. You'll partner with existing vendors across instructional design and delivery to drive optimal outcomes for learners.

• Create and oversee curricular documents. Based on the curriculum, each program must have its own documentation, including learning objectives, lesson plans, facilitator guides, assessment methodologies, etc. You will oversee the curation of documentation content.

Your Background

We are looking for an Instructional Designer who can discover and understand context quickly so s/he can turn his/her superpowers to bring the work alive. Insurance industry knowledge/experience is a plus but not mandatory.

We are looking for candidates with the following background -

• Architect. You can architect learning experiences. You know a bit of learning science and the difference between a curriculum, syllabus, and lesson plan. Learning objectives are your jam.
• Educator. You can lecture, facilitate, or coach - and can help others do the same. You do what it takes to catalyze learning experiences and get participants to fall in love with the subject.
• Communicator. You can write and tell stories. Your writing is impeccable, and your storytelling is clear and compelling. Either way, you seek signal in a world of noise.
• Collaborator. You can work with a range of stakeholders. You can build on the ideas of others and always adopt a can-do attitude. Your expertise is actively sought after.
