Job Description
Instructional Systems Designer
Program: Advanced analyst training platform (MIAAP) — computer-based training (CBT) development cell
The Opportunity
As an Instructional Designer, you know that even the best training can’t have an impact if its content falls out of date. Keeping courses that teach critical information and tradecraft current, accurate, and effective requires a real passion for understanding the needs of your customer. We have an opportunity for an Instructional Designer who is committed to solving some of the toughest challenges in national security by sustaining effective training.
The position sits on a small three-person team managing a series of established analyst training courses. The main thing to know is that this role isn’t about creating courses from scratch. The client needs someone to support the maintenance and updates of existing courses, keeping content current, accurate, and effective. This is a course development role, with no instructional delivery requirement.
On our team, you’ll work with SMEs to identify where existing courseware needs revision, whether that’s changes in tradecraft, policy, tools, or learner needs, and translate those changes into updated training material following the ADDIE model. Putting the learner at the center of the training experience, you’ll revise lessons, assessments, and performance support tools so they stay aligned with the mission.
You’ll use your technical skills and attention to detail to update interactive computer-based training, refreshing content, interactions, and media while keeping courses consistent and engaging. You know communication is key, so you’ll meet with SMEs throughout the process to validate content and incorporate feedback. To make sure the courses keep hitting the mark, you’ll help collect and analyze results using evaluation methodologies such as the Kirkpatrick Model, then use what you find to prioritize and refine updates.
You’ll work to the team’s established standards, templates, and quality bar, collaborating closely with the senior designer and supporting client discussions on course update priorities. This is a chance to grow your skills in training methodologies while keeping mission-critical analyst training sharp.
You Have
5+ years of experience in training course development or instruction, intelligence analysis, or military capabilities
Experience maintaining, revising, or updating existing training courses, including working within established templates and standards
Experience applying the ADDIE model or a comparable instructional design methodology
Experience working directly with SMEs to gather and validate content and translate it into learner-centered training products
Experience editing computer-based or self-paced training in an authoring tool such as Articulate Storyline/Rise, Adobe Captivate, or Camtasia
Knowledge of instructional design principles and familiarity with intelligence analysis tradecraft and national security concepts
Familiarity with training evaluation methodologies such as the Kirkpatrick Model
Active TS/SCI clearance; willingness to take a CI polygraph exam
Bachelor’s degree
Nice If You Have
Experience as an all-source or military intelligence analyst
Experience deploying, updating, and managing content in an LMS
Experience developing or maintaining training for a DoD or IC customer
Experience with accessibility standards (Section 508) for digital learning content
Experience with version control or configuration management for course materials
Master’s degree in Instructional Design, Instructional Technology, Education, or a related field
Clearance
