About The Position

The Senior Instructional Designer is where curriculum meets delivery. Working closely with the Training Manager and broader enablement functions, you will bring Huntress's security training programs to life through instructor-led experiences that are sharp, relevant, and built for retention. In this role, you are not just presenting slides. You are the person in the room reading the audience, adjusting in real time, and ensuring that what gets taught actually sticks. This is a role for someone who is equally comfortable facilitating a live session and rolling up their sleeves to build the content that drives it, with the balance tilted toward content. Where gaps exist, you will create. Where materials are outdated or ineffective, you will improve them. The impact is direct: every analyst, responder, or security team member who leaves a session with sharper skills and clearer operational understanding is a direct result of this work. We expect everyone at Huntress to use AI as a real part of how they work, not occasionally, but genuinely embedded in core workflows. Be ready to share how you use AI today and what it's helped you accomplish.

Requirements

3+ years designing, developing, and delivering technical training in a cybersecurity or similarly complex technical environment, with content creation as the primary focus and instructor-led facilitation as a secondary but important part of the role.
Demonstrated ability to translate technical security concepts into clear, accessible learning experiences for audiences with varying levels of expertise.
Comfort operating in a fast-moving environment where programs are still being built and the ability to create structure independently is as important as following it.
Familiarity with modern training tools and LMS platforms, with the ability to move between facilitation and content creation without losing momentum.

Responsibilities

Work with the Sr. Manager, Technical Training and subject matter experts to conduct needs analysis, identify performance and knowledge gaps, and translate those gaps into structured learning solutions.
Design, build, and maintain modular technical learning experiences for the security organization, including self-paced content, live sessions, practice activities, job aids, and role-specific onboarding assets.
Assess training effectiveness through learner feedback, knowledge validation, and most importantly performance signal, using the results to refine content, improve learning experiences, and support stronger operational outcomes.
Coordinate with subject matter experts across the security organization to ensure training reflects accurate, up-to-date detection and response knowledge.
Deliver instructor-led training selectively across live virtual and onboarding formats when that modality is the best fit for the learning objective, audience, or operational need
Partner with stakeholders across organizations to translate operational realities, product behavior, and tribal knowledge into clear, accurate documentation that practitioners can trust during live cases and investigations.
