Contract Instructional Designer (Remote | 1–3 Month Project)

Are you an experienced Instructional Designer who thrives on transforming outdated content into modern, engaging learning experiences? We’re partnering with a leading organization to bring on contract talent (1–3 months) to support a high-visibility training transformation project.

This is a fully remote opportunity where you’ll have the chance to make an immediate impact by helping redesign and streamline a large-scale sales training program.

• Supporting the transition of training content and resources into updated systems
• Creating polished, reusable assets like playbooks, job aids, coaching guides, and reference materials
• Helping shape a more impactful and streamlined new hire sales learning experience

What We’re Looking For

• 5+ years of Instructional Design experience (strong preference for mid-to-senior level)
• Hands-on expertise with Articulate Storyline and/or Rise
• Strong background in needs analysis, content audits, and curriculum design
• Experience working with ADDIE, SAM, or similar instructional design frameworks
• Ability to take ambiguous or complex content and turn it into structured, engaging learning experiences
• Strong attention to detail with the ability to manage multiple workstreams independently
• Exposure to sales training content or business-focused learning programs is a plus
