Job description

Overview

Placement Type: Temporary

Salary: $54-65 Hourly

Start Date: 10.27.2025

Our education technology and content company client is looking to bring on a remote, temporary W2, Multimedia Designer. Start = October / November. Duration = 18 months with a possible extension. 40 hours per week. Fully remote, working EST or CST hours.

We are assembling a new Custom Team - a cross-functional strike force dedicated to fast-tracking our highest priority initiatives: Conversion of English courses to Spanish, Canada market expansion, and executing sales-driven proofs of concept. By combining Multimedia Designers (MD), Learning Designers (LD), and a Content Project Manager (CPM) who master our existing platforms, processes, and quality standards, we will prototype, localize, and launch innovative learning solutions in weeks, not months. This agile unit will deliver efficiency gains through rapid AI-enabled workflows and streamlined localization, surface strategic opportunities, and drive growth across the business.

Role Overview

This role combines media craftsmanship with a lean, innovation-driven mindset. You'll produce AI-powered voiceovers, animations, and interactive scenarios for online higher education courses while expanding our technical limits and creating playbooks that enable the team to replicate breakthroughs.

Responsibilities

• Develop a deep mastery of existing workflows, Learning Management System (LMS) platform constraints, style guidelines, and key tools — then proactively seek opportunities to expand, challenge boundaries, and suggest bold improvements.
• Lead rapid multimedia development sprints: utilize AI-powered voice engines, media creation tools, and adaptable templates to prototype engaging assets within days.
• Collaborate with the LD and CPM on market expansion efforts and other special projects, ensuring all audio, video, and interactivity meet technical, style, and quality standards.
• Manage an innovation lab: evaluate emerging tools and services, document dynamic workflows, and promote innovations through internal demos.
• Provide guidance on "what's possible" versus "what we need" trade-offs — e.g., "We can deliver AI-narrated videos today, or with $X investment, we can produce AI-generated videos faster and more cost-effectively."
• Train and work with vendors to execute on Spanish course conversions and Canadian market expansion projects.
• Verify that all vendor deliverables comply with our technical specifications, style guidelines, and rigorous quality standards.

Qualifications

• Proficiency with AI-driven media tools such as ElevenLabs, WellSaid Labs, Synthesia, Relevance, HeyGen, and AI agent creation
• Strong HTML and CSS skills for formatting online content
• Proficiency with Adobe Creative Suite: Dreamweaver, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere Pro, After Effects
• Knowledge of responsive, accessible design (WCAG 2.2 compliance), and cross-browser compatibility
• Basic JavaScript skills to add dynamic elements
• Entrepreneurial mindset: quick to prototype, fail fast, and share learnings
• Fluency in Spanish is a plus
• 3+ years of paid experience in web development, web design, interactive media design, online course development, or multimedia design

The target hiring compensation range for this role is $55 to $65 an hour. Compensation is based on several factors including, but not limited to education, relevant work experience, relevant certifications, and location.
