About the Role

The Instructional Designer is responsible for designing, building, and maintaining training content within the company's Learning Management System (LMS), Opus. This role owns assigned content development from needs assessment through design, development, launch, and ongoing improvement, with direction and supervision from the Manager or Director. The Instructional Designer partners with subject matter experts and business leaders to identify learning needs, gather and validate content, and create clear, engaging, and practical learning experiences aligned with brand and operational standards.

Beyond content creation, this person must be a confident, credible presenter across very different settings: leading virtual sessions in Microsoft Teams, presenting to large in-person audiences (all-hands meetings, leadership conferences, regional trainings), and delivering hands-on training at the store level with small frontline teams. The ability to adjust tone, pacing, and delivery style across these formats is essential to the role.
