Instructional Designer

Asure Software•Austin, TX

2d•$75,000 - $85,000•Hybrid

About The Position

We're building our L&D function from the ground up, and this is one of the most important hires we'll make. As our first dedicated Instructional Designer, you'll take the deep product knowledge and training expertise that lives inside our team and turn it into scalable, high-quality learning experiences for our people and our customers. You'll work across the full design lifecycle — from needs analysis and content strategy through to building, launching, and iterating on programs. This is a hands-on role with real creative ownership and genuine influence on how learning works at Asure. The ideal candidate will be located near one of our hub locations: Austin, TX; Nashville, TN; Burlington, VT; Cherry Hill, NJ; Rochester, NY; Tampa, FL; Atlanta, GA or Santa Ana, CA.

Requirements

3-5 years of instructional design experience, ideally in a SaaS, tech, or professional services environment
Proficiency with at least one major authoring tool (Articulate 360, Adobe Captivate, or equivalent)
Strong grasp of adult learning theory and practical experience applying different design methodologies
Experience conducting learning needs analysis and translating findings into a content plan
Able to manage multiple projects simultaneously and work independently without a lot of structural support
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills — you'll be working closely with non-L&D people constantly
A portfolio of work that demonstrates range: eLearning, facilitator-led content, job aids, and ideally some blended programs
Experience in HR software, HCM, or a similarly complex B2B product environment
Familiarity with LMS administration (not a requirement, but useful in our current setup)
Experience building content for both internal audiences and external customers/clients
Some exposure to learning analytics or evaluation frameworks (Kirkpatrick or similar)

Responsibilities

Lead the end-to-end design of learning programs: onboarding, product knowledge, role-specific skills, and manager development
Build engaging eLearning modules, job aids, facilitator guides, assessments, and blended learning experiences
Work directly with subject matter experts (trainers, product managers, CS leads) to translate role responsibilities, workflows, policies, and product usage into learner-centered training experiences
Apply adult learning principles and instructional design frameworks (ADDIE, SAM, or equivalent) to every piece of work
Build digital learning content using tools such as Articulate Storyline/Rise, Camtasia, or similar platforms.
Incorporate real‑world role scenarios and practice opportunities to reinforce learning transfer.
Establish and own our authoring tool workflow and content standards
Partner with our LMS admin to ensure content is well-structured, easily navigable, and maintained
Build templates and reusable assets that allow the team to produce content faster over time
Partner with HR Business Partners and business leaders to conduct learning needs analysis
Translate business problems into learning solutions — and push back clearly when training isn't the right answer
Present design proposals and work-in-progress to stakeholders and incorporate feedback effectively
Define success criteria for every program you design
Use learner feedback, completion data, and business outcomes to iterate and improve content
Contribute to building a measurement framework for the wider L&D function
Maintain and update learning content to reflect evolving processes, systems, and role expectations
