About The Position

We at Movemedical make the world’s best software solution for medical device companies. We're hiring a Senior Instructional Designer to build the foundation of our customer learning program. This is a high-impact, greenfield role where you'll design and create the learning experiences that help thousands of professionals confidently adopt and master our platform. You'll work closely with product managers, subject matter experts, and our training team to build something that doesn't exist yet and that will directly shape how our customers succeed. We hire smart, tenacious people and give them the mentorship and opportunities they need to grow as team members and leaders. Our development process is built for remote teams and facilitates communication and trust. As a small company with big ambitions, we see and recognize the impact of every person on our team. We are team-oriented and want each other to be successful; we pull together to accomplish our goals. Glassdoor gives us a 4.3/5.0 and Inc. put us on its Best Places to Work Editor's List in 2019. You've spent your career building digital learning experiences, not updating slide decks, but designing interactive, scenario-based e-learnings that actually change how people work. You've done this in a fast-moving SaaS environment where the product changes often and your content has to keep up. You're energized by a clean slate. You want to be the person who builds the thing, not the person who inherits it. You're curious about the product and about the learner, always asking "does this actually help someone do their job better?" before you call something done. You use AI as a genuine productivity tool, not a shortcut, and you're always looking for smarter ways to work. You collaborate naturally, take ownership seriously, and thrive when given real responsibility in a lean team. We're looking for a Senior Instructional Designer with 5+ years of experience building original digital learning in a fast-moving SaaS environment, someone who creates from scratch rather than updating what already exists. Advanced Articulate Storyline proficiency is essential, and we'd love to see a portfolio that shows the depth of your work. We're looking for someone who has been through the full cycle of building a product learning program, from architecture to launch and who measures success by whether learners can actually do the job, not just whether they completed the course. You'll thrive here if you're self-directed, curious, and excited by the opportunity to build something meaningful from the ground up.

Experience building and managing content in any LMS (LearnUpon, Workramp, Absorb, Docebo, or equivalent)
Strong ability to translate complex, technical workflows into clear and engaging learning experiences with practice and real-world application built in
Comfort using AI tools thoughtfully to support research, prototyping, and development while maintaining high instructional design standards

Collaborative working style, effective across product, engineering, technical writing, and training functions
