Description

At ClassLink, we believe learning should be accessible, engaging, and empowering for every student, every educator, everywhere. That’s why we build secure, intuitive tools that empower more than 26 million students and educators worldwide. From simplifying access with single sign-on, to advancing equity with usage analytics, to automating secure rostering, our platform helps schools focus on what matters most: teaching and learning.

We’re not just building tools, we’re building what’s next in education. By removing barriers and enabling data-driven decisions, our solutions help educators lead with confidence and students thrive in and out of the classroom every day.

Our team is driven by purpose and grounded in three core values:

• Strive to Grow - always learning, improving, and innovating.
• Deliver Worthwhile Experiences - for our users, our partners, and each other.
• Contribute with Heart - putting people first in everything we do.

These values shape how we work, innovate, and support the communities we serve. If you’re ready to do work that makes a real difference, and grow alongside a team that values collaboration, support, and continuous improvement. ClassLink is the place for you.

ClassLink is looking to hire an Instructional Designer. We’re looking to find a passionate, outgoing team member who enjoys the agile course development process. As part of the Learning Design team, you’ll join the fun of crafting “just in time” micro-learning experiences on the technical implementation and usage of the ClassLink Suite.

What You’ll Achieve In Your First 30, 60, & 90 Days:

• 30 Days: Get fully onboarded, dive into ClassLink’s learning design processes, and attend product sprint reviews to understand our solutions. Start collaborating on small projects and release an updated version of an Analytics course.
• 60 Days: Own your first CMC course development project from start to finish, applying ClassLink’s learning standards and design style. Provide peer reviews for team members, release additional course updates, and produce your first Camtasia video.
• 90 Days: Manage multiple projects independently, balancing priorities and deadlines. Fully integrate into the team, contribute ideas for improving learning experiences, and release your first newly built course.

Beyond 90 Days:

• 6 Months: Take full ownership of a course load, support in-product video content, contribute to Help Center articles, and mentor team members through peer reviews. Build relationships with product SMEs and release advanced CMC courses.
• 12 Months: Identify content gaps in our curriculum and propose new learning solutions. Become a key voice for your product in company-wide discussions, driving improvements in learning experiences across ClassLink’s ecosystem.

How You’ll Make an Impact

• Design and develop interactive, online learning experiences that simplify technical concepts for educators and IT leaders.
