The Senior Instructional Designer will lead end-to-end learning strategy and design, consulting with clients and subject matter experts, creating blended learning solutions, measuring outcomes, and mentoring instructional designers.
Responsibilities
- You'll own learning solutions end to end: consulting with clients to define performance-based objectives tied to brand strategy, designing blended journeys that drive measurable behaviour change, and building the measurement approach that proves it worked
- You'll turn complex clinical and scientific content into learning that genuinely sticks — storyboards, scripts, scenarios, HCP archetypes, patient journeys, access barriers
- You'll partner with medical writers, creative and project management, help win work alongside the sales team with sharp design thinking in the room, and mentor the IDs coming up behind you
- And you'll help decide where AI and new tools actually earn their place in the craft — this is a team leaning into that, not resisting it
Skills
- 5–7+ years in instructional design with a portfolio you're proud of
- 5+ years designing pharma/biotech training inside an L&D agency
- Genuine front-end learning strategy and consulting experience — not just execution (this is the one that counts)
- Deep grounding in adult learning theory, and real craft in Articulate 360 (Storyline & Rise)
- Excellent writing, storytelling and information architecture — and an eye for detail
- Curiosity about AI and emerging tech, and where it fits into modern L&D
Benefits
- Fully remote
