Entry Level International Instructional Design Jobs

Amazing Career Moments Happen Here 

Transforming the insurance industry is ambitious, we know. That's why at Applied, we're building a team that shows up every day ready to learn, willing to try new things, and driven to deliver innovative software and services that make us indispensable to our customers - all within a culture built on values that make us indispensable to each other too. With 40+ years of experience in the Insurtech game, we're not just redefining what's achievable, we're creating a place where amazing career moments are made possible. 

Position Overview 

Build the courses that thousands of insurance professionals learn from. As an Associate Instructional Designer on our Applied University team, you'll own customer-facing eLearning courseware end to end - storyboarding, building in Storyline, and shipping it to a live audience. Applied University sits inside Onboarding and Success Services, the group responsible for implementation, product training and customer adoption. You'll work alongside experienced designers, product managers, and subject matter experts, with real ownership of your own course projects from your first quarter.  This is an entry-level role. You'll come in with instructional design fundamentals and grow your depth in three areas: our products, the insurance industry, and adult learning practice. You'll get structured mentorship from senior designers while taking on your own projects - planning, researching, and building - with support rather than hand-holding.  We're looking for someone genuinely curious about how people learn, who likes making complicated things clear, and who wants to see their work used.

• Design and build engaging digital learning - eLearning courses, video, animation and motion graphics, simulations, assessments, and learning games
• Use AI tools to research and synthesize source material into project roadmaps and course storyboards
• Grow subject matter expertise in Applied Systems products and the insurance industry
• Analyze what learners need to know and recommend how to teach it
• Partner with subject matter experts, product managers, and training teams to develop and release courseware
• Apply our course development standards so every release meets a consistent quality bar
• Contribute to planning discussions that shape the strategic direction of customer training
• Work with our LMS Administrator to publish learning catalogs, tracks, and plans

We're Excited to Learn More About You

• Comfort with everyday work tools: Zoom, Slack, Confluence, Jira, and MS Office
• Grounding in instructional design for adult learners - you can take a topic from analysis through design, build, and evaluation
