• Continuously learn new instructional design tools, technologies, and best practices while contributing to team projects.
• Other responsibilities, tasks or projects assigned by management.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Instructional Design, Education, Communications, or a related field (or equivalent combination of education and experience).
• Excellent written communication skills in both English and Spanish with strong attention to grammar, tone, and clarity.
• 1-3 years of experience in instructional design, learning and development, training, education, or a related field (internships and relevant academic projects are welcome).
• Foundational knowledge of instructional design principles and adult learning theory.
• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines.
• Willingness to learn, collaborate, and receive feedback in a team-oriented environment.
• Very strong attention to detail.

Nice to Have:

• Experience with LMS platforms such as Canvas, Moodle or similar platforms.

• Experience localizing content for Latin American or other Spanish-speaking audiences.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted content development tools used to support learning design and content creation.

What We Offer:

• Competitive compensation and benefits.
• Opportunities for professional growth and career development.
• Mentorship from experienced learning and development professionals.
• A collaborative, inclusive, and supportive work environment.
• The opportunity to work on impactful learning initiatives for global teams and clients.
