We are individuals with different passions and strengths who take as much joy in the work we do as from those we work with. Today, we have a team that is invested in creating new solutions that lean forward, challenge the status quo, but also reflect our intimate knowledge of our customers’ business. Over the years we have fostered a culture in which we are united by shared values—passion, solidarity, generosity, curiosity, and boldness—and these come alive in the work we do and how we do it.

  • Create full lifecycle training products including curriculum, storyboards, presentations, facilitator guides, participant materials, job aids, and eLearning content.
  • Design assessments and evaluation methods to measure training effectiveness and use performance data to continuously improve learning solutions.
  • Coordinate content reviews and clearances with subject matter experts, technical editors, and federal stakeholders.

What We Need From You (Required):  

  • A minimum of ten (10) years of specialized experience leading enterprise-level instructional design and training initiatives for federal agencies or large regulated programs.
  • Demonstrated expertise in adult learning theory and instructional design methodologies (ADDIE, Agile, Design Thinking).
  • Hands-on experience with PowerPoint, Camtasia, Articulate Storyline, and Learning Management Systems (LMS).
  • Ability to meet federal compliance standards including Plain Language and Section 508 accessibility requirements. 

Work Setup:

Clearance & Education: 
  • U.S. Citizenship required.
  • Minimum bachelor’s degree in Instructional Design, Education, Communications or a related field. Equivalent experience may be substituted.
