Senior Instructional Designer (Durable Skills & Apprentice Manager Experience), US

Job Description

We’re on a mission to create a diverse group of future leaders. We do that through professional apprenticeships because we believe learning on-the-job creates a more equitable and successful path to careers. We find, train and support talented individuals, wherever they are in their career journey, and equip them with the in-demand tech, software engineering, and data skills to transform their careers and deliver a better route to growth for their employers.

We’ve had some big achievements. We hit 10,000 apprentices in our community - and counting. We launched one of the largest data apprenticeship programs in the UK with Jaguar Land Rover, and we’ve partnered with companies like Mars, Verizon and CitiBank. Not to forget becoming a mission-driven EdTech unicorn after our $220m Series D.

But we aren’t stopping here. Join Multiverse and build the future of learning at work.

The Opportunity

Senior Instructional Designers are responsible for setting the vision for and creating the curriculum for our world-class apprenticeship programs in fulfilment of our ambition to build an alternative to university. We are looking for someone who is interested in designing instructional programs, and wants to create a massive impact by unlocking the potential of underrepresented talent through applied learning.

This role focuses on two business critical areas which reach across all of our programs: Durable Skills & Apprentice Manager Experience. Many education organizations focus on the technical skills needed for success in a program, but Multiverse recognizes that it takes more than technical skills to be successful. Durable Skills are the interpersonal, critical thinking, and self management capabilities that supercharge our performance in the workplace. They remain relevant across roles and functions as careers evolve. As a business, we are investing in designing resources to support apprentice development of these skills. We also know that Apprentice Managers are key to ensuring apprentice success and retention, as well as driving client outcomes such as deal expansion. This role will work closely with the Manager Experience team to design manager-focused resources which will enable managers to support and develop their apprentices while growing their own skills as people managers.

This is a unique opportunity to lead high-profile learning design initiatives in a high-growth business, working closely with teams across the business.
