About the role

Create visually distinctive, accessible, and effective digital learning experiences. Translate academic content and instructional ideas into polished course interfaces, multimedia, interactive activities, and reusable design systems-not just concepts or recommendations.

You will prototype and produce alongside faculty, instructional designers, and technology colleagues. We value excellent visual judgment, hands-on experimentation, feedback, and reusable solutions that can scale across courses and programs. Projects move between creative production, course development, and rapid problem-solving.

Key responsibilities

Visual design and learner experience

• Design engaging digital learning experiences using strong visual hierarchy, typography, composition, and information design.
• Turn complex academic material into clear graphics, layouts, and meaningful interactive experiences.
• Apply UX/UI, responsive design, and accessibility principles to navigation and learning content.

Templates and multimedia production

• Create accessible, reusable LMS templates, HTML/CSS layouts, and visual design systems that others can maintain.
• Produce instructional videos, animation, motion graphics, infographics, and other multimedia assets.
• Develop interactive scenarios, simulations, branching activities, and learning objects using appropriate tools.

Instructional design, innovation, and collaboration

• Partner with faculty and instructional designers on course design, learning activities, assessments, and development.
• Build and test learning content; prototype and evaluate AI and emerging technologies for instructional value and usability.
• Support course quality, accessibility, launches, and one-off faculty requests, including activity and technology testing.
• Contribute to parallel programs, reusable resources, shared projects, and continuous improvement.

What you bring

Required

• Five or more years of hands-on digital learning design, visual design, and multimedia development; bachelor's degree in a related field or equivalent professional experience.
• Strong portfolio showing original visual judgment and finished multimedia, interactive, or template-based learning products.
• Expertise in typography, layout, color, visual hierarchy, UX, and accessible, responsive digital design.
• Experience creating reusable LMS layouts, HTML/CSS templates, or design systems and producing multimedia and interactive learning assets.
• Proficiency with professional design and production tools such as Adobe Creative Cloud, Figma, Camtasia, H5P, or equivalents.
• Understanding of instructional design, learning objectives, assessment alignment, and WCAG standards; strong collaboration and delivery skills.

Preferred

• Master's degree; higher education teaching, course development, or faculty collaboration experience.
• Custom Brightspace templates, advanced animation/video, simulations, branching activities, JavaScript, or related front-end skills.
• Experience prototyping with generative AI, usability testing, and refining interactive learning products.
• Experience scaling visual systems and reusable learning assets across parallel programs.
• Professional proficiency in written Spanish.
