Instructional Designer, Senior

The Opportunity:

Do you want to develop training that will transform national security? As an Instructional Designer, you know that even the best tools and processes can’t have an impact without the right education. Constructing an interactive course that teaches critical information and tradecraft requires a real passion for understanding the needs of your customer. We have an opportunity for an Instructional Designer who is committed to solving some of the toughest challenges in national security by crafting effective training.

On our team, you’ll work with SMEs, instructors, and learning technologists to capture your customer’s training needs and advise them on the right learning solution to help them accomplish their mission. Putting the learner at the center of the training experience, you’ll design creative learning solutions in a collaborative team environment. You’ll build training material with multimedia specialists, graphic artists, instructors, and technical SMEs*,* following the instructional design methodologies.

You’ll use your technical skills, creativity, and experience to come up with new ideas to develop an engaging, interactive learning experience on-screen or in a classroom. You’ll recommend cutting-edge learning solutions and strategies, including blended learning and gamification, to build a successful learning environment. You know communication is key, so you’ll meet with SMEs, instructors, and product designers throughout the process to discuss learning material and incorporate feedback. To ensure your solution is hitting the mark, you’ll collect and analyze results using evaluation methodologies such as the Kirkpatrick Model, then fine-tune your training for maximum impact. You’ll be able to hone your leadership skills as you share your expertise through leadership and mentoring. As a member of the learning team, you’ll identify new opportunities to build solutions to your customer’s learning needs. This is a chance to use your deep understanding of training methodologies to shape a creative learning experience that will engage students.

Work with us as we improve national security through learner-centered instructional design of creative and innovative learning solutions in a collaborative environment.
