The Role: Design the Learning. Set the Standard. Take the Stage.
We’re looking for a Senior Instructional Designer to join the team that shapes how Synthesia teaches the world to use Synthesia. This is Customer Education, not in-house enablement.
You’ll be joining a team of instructional designers who collectively own the part of the pipeline where quality is actually decided: needs analysis and learning design. You’ll carry your own portfolio of work end-to-end — figuring out what learners genuinely need, deciding what to build (and what not to), and producing design blueprints sharp enough that our Knowledge & Enablement Specialists can develop and publish them without needing to guess. You’ll stay close to the build, getting hands-on in development where it counts, but your leverage comes from the thinking that happens before anyone opens a timeline.
You’ll be joining a team of ambitious instructional designers who will be your deep collaborators, sounding board and discussion partners. We work hard to avoid silos - collaboration is highly valued and built into out structure.
This role is also the face and voice of our learning content. You’ll facilitate live sessions and workshops for customers, and you’ll represent Synthesia on stage at some of the biggest L&D, and AI conferences in North America. If you’re happiest designing quietly in a doc and never speaking to a room, this isn’t the role.
And a word on AI, because we mean something specific by it: we are AI first but we loath AI slop. We’ve built a purpose-built content production pipeline that AI accelerates — it doesn’t replace the craft, the instructional rigour, or the review gates. We want someone who has gone well beyond typing a prompt into a chat window: someone who has built agentic workflows, broken them, measured them, and made them better.
