Job description

About the Role 
We are seeking our first-ever Instructional Design Manager. This is a rare opportunity to build an instructional design practice from the ground up and leave a lasting mark on how a rapidly scaling SaaS company creates learning experiences. Reporting to the Sr. Director of Global Training & Enablement, you will have genuine ownership from day one.  
 
This is a builder role. The person who thrives here gets excited by blank-slate problems, knows how to turn ambiguity into process, and can work cross-functionally to earn trust quickly. Your primary mandate is to establish the standards, SOPs, and best practices that define how NinjaOne designs and delivers training - inserting rigor and repeatability into workflows that currently lack a formal instructional design foundation.  
 
Your work will span the full organization, touching new hire onboarding, revenue team readiness, and technical certification programs - giving you a platform to influence training quality at every level of the business. 
 
 
Location - Hybrid in Austin, TX In the office 2-3 days per week (Mon, Tues, & Thurs) 
 
 
What You’ll be Doing 
  • Establish the instructional design practice 
  • Define NinjaOne’s instructional design standards, methodology, and quality benchmarks 
  • Create the SOP’s, templates, and style guides that will govern how training content is built – auditing existing WorkRamp content and producing a remediation roadmap 
  • Lead authoring tool strategy by evaluating NinjaOne’s current content creation capabilities and build and presenting a business case for a dedicated SCORM/eLearning authoring platform 
  • Own vendor evaluation, procurement, and team adoption of any new tooling 
  • Partner with internal training, revenue enablement, and technical enablement teams to translate business needs into well-scoped learning solutions 
  • Lead needs assessment and learning objective workshops to ensure projects start with clear outcomes and measurable goals 
  • Personally design and develop high-quality instructional materials including eLearning modules, facilitator guides, assessments, and job aids 
  • Establish a QA review process ensuring all deliverables meet standards for accuracy, accessibility, and brand consistency 
  • Serve as the internal expert on instructional design, educating stakeholders and influencing how content requests are scoped 
  • Manage the inbound instructional design queue 
  • As the team grows, recruit and mentor junior instructional designers 
  • Other duties as needed  
 
About You 
  • 5+ years of instructional design experience, with at least 2 years in a senior or lead capacity 
  • Demonstrated ability to build or significantly mature an ID practice, including creating standards, SOPs, and repeatable processes where few or none existed 
  • Experience leveraging AI tools to accelerate or enhance instructional design work - whether for content drafting, personalization, rapid prototyping, or learning analytics 
  • Strong command of instructional design methodologies (ADDIE, SAM, or equivalent) and adult learning theory 
  • Experience working with an LMS and familiarity with SCORM/xAPI standards 
  • Excellent project management and stakeholder communication skills; able to manage multiple workstreams independently and set clear priorities 
  • Experience partnering with cross-functional teams to scope and deliver training products including Sales, CS, and Technical functions  
  • You align with our values Curiosity, Integrity, Kindness, Humility, & Builders and are committed to creating an environment where these values flourish in our teams 
  • Hands-on experience with a SCORM authoring tool (e.g., Articulate 360, Adobe Captivate) or experience leading a tool selection and procurement process (preferred) 
  • Familiarity with WorkRamp or similar LMS platforms used by SaaS revenue teams (preferred) 
  • Background in a fast-growth B2B SaaS or technology company (preferred) 
  • Experience building and managing a small team of instructional designers (preferred)
