About the Role

We are urgently looking for an Instructional Designer, Training Content Creator to join a busy Customer Experience training function within a global software company.

12-month fixed-term contract with the possibility of extension, based in Ireland with a primarily remote working model.

This is an instructional design role, not a trainer / delivery role. You won't be standing in front of a classroom or running live sessions. Instead, you'll design and build the e-learning courses, videos, walkthroughs, product demos and other digital learning assets that will help Customer Support Agents build the product knowledge and skills they need to support customers confidently & effectively, enhancing the global customer experience.

You'll work closely with a Training Program Manager, subject matter experts, and other cross-functional partners, turning complex product information and support workflows into learning content that is clear, practical and engaging.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design and build engaging e-learning courses using tools such as Articulate 360 and other digital authoring platforms.
• Create supporting learning assets, including short-form videos, product walkthroughs, interactive demos, scenarios, activities, knowledge checks, quizzes and assessments.
• Partner with a Training Program Manager and subject matter experts to gather information, validate content, and translate technical product detail into clear, actionable learning for Customer Support Agents.
• Research unfamiliar topics and source materials independently to build a working understanding of products, features, tools and customer support workflows.
• Develop scenario-based learning that helps agents practise applying product knowledge, troubleshooting and customer communication skills in realistic situations.
• Review existing training content and recommend updates based on learner needs, stakeholder feedback, product changes and performance data.
• Follow established training standards, templates and style guidelines to ensure a consistent learner experience across all content.

What We're Looking For

• Experience creating content for online training courses, ideally with an instructional design, e-learning, or training content development background.
• Comfortable working with technical subject material that is customer-facing rather than deeply engineering-level, translating it into content that is accessible and practical for support agents.
• A strong team collaborator who works well with subject matter experts and cross-functional stakeholders and who takes the initiative to move work forward independently.
• Highly capable and organised, with the ability to manage multiple projects at once and adapt well within a dynamic, fast-moving organisation.
• Strong written and visual communication skills, with an eye for clear structure and engaging design.
• Comfortable working in a virtual-first environment and collaborating asynchronously with distributed teams.

Nice to Have

• Experience with Articulate 360, Synthesia, Navattic or similar training content creation and e-learning authoring platforms.
• A background in technical training, technical content creation, adult training / adult teaching or customer support is also an advantage.
