This gig is two-parts Project Management, one-part Product Management, and one-part Instructional Design.
Decker Communications is expanding our 37-year old business communication training, coaching and consulting brand from only offering in-person experiences to include a host of new virtual training modules and coaching options for our clients’ disparate and flexibility-craving workforces.
So, what’s the Big Deal? Decker Digital is a new, unlike-anything-else-in-its-class, innovative online learning experience. It’s award-winning, too! Our initial launch is complete and we’re now sending it into orbit. We need your help to complete beta-testing for cross-browser functionality, compile user feedback, evolve our Learning Management Platform, and manage pre- and post-sales and support processes.
- Requires 5+ years experience
- Contract
- San Francisco, United States
- Requires Bachelor's degree
Project Management:
- You should read “experienced project manager” and think, timelines, deliverables, follow-up: Check! You should have several examples of times when you developed, demonstrated and enforced these things.
- Nothing gets by you: Excellence is a high bar, and your role is to make sure we get there. You never miss a deadline, no matter what.
- Excitement – scratch that – make it straight up enthusiasm and outpouring energy around creating digital solutions for instructional design.
- Tenacious, start-up-level “I’m-gonna-get this-done-because-we-need-it-now” attitude, while still exhibiting humble confidence (Translation: For you, it’s not “my way or the highway;” rather, you say, “I will get us to the highway.” And you will figure it out, grab the help you need, and get it done. Period.)
Product Management:
- Working knowledge of eLearning Management Systems and tools
- Familiarity with SCORM compliance and what it does
- Experience with JIRA, SmartSheets, Adobe Creative Suite… a major plus. Experience with project management tools: Essential.
- Proficiency in developer-speak. Not necessarily actual programming languages (though that’s a massive bonus). You just need to be able to talk to a developer and support/challenge direction where needed.
- Develop, document and manage pre- and post-sales and support processes.
Instructional Design:
- Consult with Decker Digital team to enhance existing eLearning content on a regular and proactive basis.
- Upload and test content (cross-browser, web-based, etc.) to ensure functionality and partner with eLearning Technologist to troubleshoot as needed to ensure success of course.
- Develop instructional materials and evaluate and assess the instructions as well as the impact of these instructions.
- Ability to troubleshoot courses and a working knowledge of various media file formats.
- Must have high proficiency with webcam technology and tools
- Keep abreast of development within the e-Learning fields and ensure that software skills are up to date.
- Knowledgeable of Adult Learning Theory
- Experience designing innovative and engaging eLearning courses
