About the Role:

An important part of Panorama’s growth and impact has been the design and delivery of on-demand resources that help educators navigate and understand how to use Panorama’s tools. These resources live in Panorama Academy, our customer-facing knowledge base, and include explainer video tutorials, PDF guides, presentation decks, and help articles. As Panorama’s products continue to evolve, we are seeking a project-based instructional design consultant to audit and update select resources to ensure they remain accurate, relevant, and valuable for our end users.

Key Responsibilities: 

  • Update assigned resources or articles in Panorama Academy to reflect recent product improvements and ensure they clearly communicate current functionality
  • Update existing resources to be more inclusive and better meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) accessibility standards (we will offer guidance and resources, but prior knowledge and experience is ideal)
  • Identify opportunities to embed exemplar K-12 educator use cases within articles and other resources to demonstrate real-world application of Panorama’s tools
  • Collaborate with internal Panorama subject matter experts as needed to gather input, ensure resources align with user needs, and incorporate feedback to improve content

What We’re Looking For:

  • Demonstrated success in developing resources and learning experiences that help K–12 educators navigate and get value from software they use in their day-to-day work
  • At least 3 years of experience designing and creating customer-facing product education, documentation, training, or support assets, preferably within a SaaS environment or a K–12 school or district
  • Excellent writing and content creation skills, including the ability to explain product functionality and value to a broad audience via text, image, video, and more
  • Working knowledge of HTML for editing and formatting content in a source editor (headings, paragraphs, tables, callouts, images, and embedded media)
  • Experience applying graphic design best practices to produce clear, visually appealing instructional materials (slides, PDFs, and other resources)
  • Strong attention to detail and organizational skills
  • Strong copy editing skills, with the ability to make text easy to read and act upon
  • Demonstrated effectiveness in advancing equity through resource design and creation
  • Proven ability to get up to speed quickly on new software and systems

Showcase your best work:

Show us what you have created before! To apply, please include a portfolio that highlights your instructional design and content creation skills. You may attach files or share links to individual pieces. Your portfolio should demonstrate your ability to explain complex ideas clearly and present them in a visually engaging way.

Please upload one PDF document that includes links to at least two separate artifacts of your instructional design work.

Your PDF must include one artifact for each of the following examples:

  • Instructional Presentation DeckA presentation you designed to teach learners (ideally K–12 educators) how to use a product or tool, demonstrating your ability to explain complex processes in a clear and engaging way.
  • Documentation-Based ResourceA PDF document or guide you wrote based on product documentation (for example, a how-to article, quick-start guide, or user manual) that shows how you translate technical content into user-friendly language for K–12 educators.

Salary: $35/hr 

 

Our salary is just one component of Panorama’s competitive total rewards strategy that also includes annual bonuses or commission awards, equity awards, as well as other region-specific health and welfare benefits

Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
