Job Description

As an Instructional Design and LMS Specialist (internally: Learning Experience Design Specialist, Tech & Platforming) at Aledade, you’ll do far more than just build courses; you will be the master architect of a digital ecosystem that empowers primary care practices to thrive. Sitting at the vital intersection of instructional design and systems administration, you’ll bridge the gap between high-quality content and effortless discoverability, ensuring the doctors and staff in our network can find exactly what they need at the moment they need it. By blending research-backed adult learning science with a "user-first" technical mindset, you will transform complex value-based care workflows into engaging, measurable learning experiences that drive real behavior change. This is a high-impact opportunity to own the strategy behind our platform’s taxonomy and UI, collaborating across the Provider Networks team to build a cohesive, inclusive, and world-class learning journey that directly supports the success of independent primary care.

We are flexible with respect to geographic location, and the ideal candidate will be comfortable working remotely/work from home across US time zones.

Primary Duties:

Lead the strategy for content catalogue audits, taxonomy, metadata tagging, and search optimization, and UI improvements across digital learning platforms to ensure that users find relevant content quickly.
Apply instructional design methodologies, curriculum mapping, and adult learning science principles to develop scalable learning across multiple formats (e.g., live virtual sessions, on-demand modules, microlearning, videos, gamified experiences, interactive multimedia) that align with practice and company goals.
Support the Learning System Administrator in day-to-day platform maintenance (e.g., user permissions, content uploads, and basic troubleshooting).
Monitor engagement metrics and "knowledge lift" KPIs to provide data-driven recommendations for UX improvements.
Lead projects independently, managing timelines, dependencies, and risks while following team standards and advocating for high-quality deliverables.

Minimum Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Instructional Design, Educational Technology, or a related field.
5+ years of experience designing progressive learning solutions within industries known for innovation in learning delivery and platform capabilities, such as corporate technology/SaaS, healthcare technology & clinical training, edtech, enterprise learning & enablement, or high‑skill simulation industries.
Excellent project management and communication skills in a matrixed environment, including ability to clearly convey design rationale, and iterate quickly with a multifaceted group of stakeholders to move a learning design project from start to completion.
Demonstrated ability to leverage metadata, taxonomy, and search functionality to enhance content discoverability and personalization across multiple delivery environments.
Proficiency with Learning Management Systems (LMS) and the ability to offer solutions around their capabilities and features that prioritize the user journey and minimize cognitive load.
Proven experience designing for a diverse range of delivery environments such as live (virtual or in-person), coaching models, blended learning, and on-demand/eLearning using content authoring tools, such as Camtasia and Articulate 360

Preferred KSA's:

Experience with Thought Industries’ LMS platform, digital badging, and Zendesk
Experience working in the healthcare industry and value-based care
Strong technical skills with the ability to troubleshoot and resolve platform-related issues.
Proficiency in data analysis and reporting to derive meaningful insights.
Certifications in eLearning, Learning Management Systems, or related fields.
Familiarity with applying UX principles
Strong video editing experience

Physical Requirements:

Sitting for prolonged periods of time. Extensive use of computers and keyboard. Occasional walking and lifting may be required.
