Instructional Designer, Dedicated Cloud Training
Amazon Web Services (AWS)
London
Description Join our Amazon Web Services (AWS) team working with our unique mission owners to deliver training to customers worldwide. We’ve experienced rapid growth in the demand for a wide range of AWS courses, and these courses are having a direct impact on our customer. Customers are rapidly adopting AWS to transform missions with cloud computing as a way to build scalable and cost-effective web and IT solutions. To do that effectively, they need training, and not just a couple of slides and a long lecture. We are developing highly technical courses with extensive hands-on labs, complex process and solution diagrams, e-learning courses that can be accessed 24x7, and self-paced labs that get customers deep into AWS technologies. Our team is looking for a motivated Instructional Designer who possesses a unique balance of technical depth, curriculum development experience, business knowledge, and strong interpersonal skills. You will partner with several AWS teams to craft learning paths to educate AWS customers and have the opportunity to help shape and execute a strategy for new educational content around AWS services and features. The ideal candidate is a smart, innovative, effective, problem solving Instructional Designer with experience working across multiple instructional delivery modalities to create high-quality learning experiences that support our growing learning community. The Instructional Designer will curate and design learning solutions that align with the needs of our users and guide them through their education in cloud services. The role requires someone who is knowledgeable in adult learning and instructional design strategies for performance-based outcomes, can innovate, move quickly, has strong attention to detail, and is not constrained by how things have been done before. They will have the ability to manage multiple concurrent and interdependent tasks, experience working cross-functionally with requirements elicitation, and the ability to translate technical content into easy-to-understand training. While the Instructional Designer may or may not be steeped in AWS and the cloud, they should be technically strong and have significant experience with technical subject matter. Additionally, the ideal candidate will have experience working in an agile environment, and above all will have a passion for learning. As An Instructional Designer, You Will
