Position: Instructional Designer (e-Learning)

Experience: 5+ years

Shift: Day

Work location: Noida

Working days: Monday to Friday

We are looking for an Instructional Designer to lead the design of high-interactivity (Level 3 and above) e-learning and training programs for our corporate clients. This is a strategy-plus-hands-on role: you will define the content and visual approach for each program, set the creative bar for the team, build advanced interactions yourself, and represent our design thinking directly to clients.

• Work with the team to recommend the right content treatment and interactivity level based on the audience, subject, and budget.
• Lead end-to-end instructional design: needs analysis, learning objectives, design documents, storyboarding, and evaluation.
• Guide the team on visual style, layout, and learner experience.
• Review and edit storyboards produced by the team and mentor junior instructional designers.

• Design and develop interactive e-learning modules in Articulate Storyline including branching scenarios and assessments.
• Support storyboard creation for AR, VR, and 3D content through team collaboration.
• Develop WBT and ILT materials aligned to industry standards.
• Write and edit video scripts and learning content.
• Develop assessments that measure the effectiveness of training programs.

• Participate in client calls on design strategy and feedback.
• Receive client feedback constructively, raise queries confidently, and convert agreed feedback into clear actions for the team.
• Collaborate with subject matter experts (SME) to translate raw content into engaging learning experiences.
• Brief and coordinate the graphic/media team with clear visual direction.

• Ensure all output meets e-learning standards (SCORM, AICC, xAPI), accessibility requirements, and client brand guidelines.
• Stay current with e-learning trends and tools, including AI-assisted authoring and emerging interaction formats.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in instructional design, education technology, English, mass communication or a related field, or equivalent professional experience.
• 5+ years of experience designing and developing corporate learning programs, with demonstrable Level 3+ interactivity work.
• Command of instructional design models (ADDIE, SAM, Bloom’s Taxonomy, Gagné’s Nine Events, adult learning principles) and sound judgment on when to apply each.
• Expert-level Articulate Storyline; working knowledge of Captivate, Rise, Vyond or similar tools.
• Strong visual design sensibility, able to direct layout, colour, typography and graphic treatment, and articulate why a visual approach works.
• Excellent client-facing communication, presentation and facilitation skills.
• Experience designing both synchronous and asynchronous online learning.
• Working knowledge of accessibility compliance for digital learning content.
• Strong analytical skills, attention to detail and fact-based decision-making.
• Proficiency in MS Word, PowerPoint and Excel.

• Awareness of AI tools in the learning content workflow, e.g., generative AI for ideation, scripting and storyboard drafts, AI voiceover and video generation, AI-assisted authoring, with a practical view on where they add value and where they risk quality.
• Hands-on experimentation with any of these tools in past projects is a plus, not a requirement.

• A portfolio is mandatory and must include at least one Level 3+ interactive sample with a short note on the strategy behind it.
• Ability to learn new tools, subjects and concepts quickly.
• Self-motivated team player who can also work independently.
