If you are energized by the opportunity to shape how leaders learn, influence organizational performance, and design learning experiences that make a measurable impact, this Senior Instructional Designer role at Premier Health offers a meaningful next step in your career. This position is ideal for an experienced instructional design professional who wants to move beyond course development into a highly strategic role where learning is directly connected to leadership capability, workforce effectiveness, and enterprise priorities.

At Premier Health, the Senior Instructional Designer serves as a strategic learning partner, leading the design, development, implementation, and measurement of organizational learning solutions that strengthen leadership capability and workforce performance across the system. In this role, you will consult with leaders and collaborate cross-functionally to assess learning needs, craft scalable strategies, and deliver high-impact programs aligned with organizational goals. You will bring deep expertise in instructional design, adult learning, eLearning development, leadership development strategy, and evidence-based learning science to create solutions that drive measurable outcomes.

For professionals motivated by influence, innovation, and purpose, this opportunity offers the chance to lead system-wide initiatives in new leader assimilation, onboarding pathways, leadership learning journeys, digital learning ecosystems, and organizational development programs that support a culture of continuous learning and performance improvement. You will also help shape the future of learning by leveraging technology, AI-enabled tools, and emerging practices that enhance the learner experience and improve organizational capability.

Premier Health is recognized as an employer where people can build meaningful careers while contributing to work that matters.
