Key Responsibilities

• Business Skills Module Architecture: Analyze enterprise learning objectives and collaborate with global Subject Matter Experts to convert soft skills and business methodologies into structured, practical training content.
• Conversational Scriptwriting Delivery: Author high-quality, professional, yet conversational scripts for animated videos designed specifically to elevate professional knowledge and secure long-term user retention.
• Visual Storyboarding Engineering: Design highly detailed instructional storyboards that guide animation teams, ensuring visual metaphors and motion aesthetics support targeted core competencies cleanly natively utilizing Course Creator principles.
• Multimedia Quality Auditing: Review ongoing video drafts across 2D, 3D, and AI-generated modules to guarantee uncompromised adherence to learning clarity and institutional education standards.
• AI Design Process Experimentation: Test and deploy emerging generative AI utilities and interactive widgets to lift production efficiency thresholds and maximize the educational footprint of media deliverables.
• Cross-Functional Project Sync: Manage asset dependencies closely across product managers, tech leads, and multimedia animators to ensure milestone timelines are satisfied accurately.

• A minimum of 3 years of professional history focused on instructional design, specifically centered around video-based learning, corporate curriculum design, or digital media production.
• Proven background translating dry, technical corporate frameworks (Leadership, Corporate Compliance, Professional Communication) into highly compelling, narrative-driven content.
• Deep structural application of foundational educational theories, including ADDIE frameworks, Gagne’s Nine Events of Instruction, and Multimedia Cognitive Load Theory.
• Masterful written and verbal English communication strengths, displaying complete ease pitching complex conceptual frameworks to international stakeholders.
• Agility to perform productively within high-throughput production teams utilizing emerging AI media generation tools.
• Application Portfolio Mandate: Candidates must supply a verifiable digital portfolio or structured writing samples highlighting historical scripts, storyboards, or links to completed video assets.
• Location Context: Position features 100% remote parameters open exclusively to qualified training professionals residing permanently within India .

Preferred Strategic Indicators (Nice to Have)

• Prior background engineering curriculum for high-growth EdTech platforms, global scientific publications, or specialized biopharma compliance academies.
• Familiarity structuring multi-locale educational media or designing adaptive localization models across distinct geographic student bases.

What We Offer

• Vetted, Global EdTech Compensation Blueprint: A highly competitive baseline annual compensation package calibrated against professional depth, paired with a clear, performance-based internal promotion track.
• The incredible professional canvas to shape the corporate training architecture for a world-leading science video provider.
• Profound work-from-home remote parameters providing total virtual flexibility and cross-functional engagement with diverse, global teams.
• A flat, innovation-first workspace that actively supports ongoing research, tool experimentation, and professional skill cultivation.
