Senior Instructional Designer - EspressoDiscovery Ed

Overview

Espresso has been in schools since 1997 and is much loved by teachers and pupils. We recently revamped the service and moved it, into a new platform with new features and benefits. We are now looking to bring espresso to the next level.

The Instructional Design Senior Specialist will play a pivotal role in executing the strategy around the multi-faceted instructional value of Espresso, our UK primary resource. You will own key initiatives that require you to apply instructional design expertise and project management skills to deliver high-quality instructional resources for our educators and students. You will work collaboratively with team members across our product organization and other teams within the company including product marketing and sales to ensure our instructional support offerings meet the needs of our customers.

We are based across three offices in the UK, London, Manchester and Bath. You will work very closely with the UK Senior Product Manager and report into the Director, Instructional design-learning.

We operate a hybrid working model for most roles if you are within a commutable distance of an office.
