Instructional Design Lead

Remote (US)

Syllo is a software company in the legal space that offers an AI-powered litigation workspace
that enables lawyers to safely harness the power of language models. After spending years
developing our cloud-based application, Syllo's platform is now used by a wide range of legal
professionals — from the largest law firms in the world to the most prestigious law schools.

We are a lean, fast-moving, and multi-disciplinary company led by exceptional lawyers and
engineers. We hold each other accountable to achieve ambitious goals in a timely way while
treating one another with respect and understanding. If you're excited about AI and passionate
about being part of a remote team that seeks to transform the legal practice, then read on!

We are seeking an Instructional Designer to join the training department. In this role, you own
the architecture of Syllo Academy: the LMS infrastructure, the curriculum design standards that
every piece of training content must meet, the production of video and multimedia assets, and
the certification program that validates client proficiency. You will be the operational and
creative backbone of the training department, and the quality of everything the department
ships runs through you.

Key responsibilities

  • Architect and continuously improve Syllo Academy — defining the structure, navigation,
    and learner experience for all client-facing and internal training content
  • Administer the LMS, including user management, content organization, course
    publishing, reporting configuration, and integration with other Syllo systems
  • Establish and maintain curriculum design standards for the training department,
    including templates, style guides, and quality review checklists that govern content
    output
  • Produce video and multimedia training assets — screen recordings, narrated
    walkthroughs, interactive exercises, and knowledge checks — working from scripts and
    outlines provided by subject matter experts
  • Develop, maintain, and score certification exams that validate user proficiency on Syllo's
    platform
  • Own learning analytics: configure dashboards, generate reports on completion,
    assessment performance, and engagement, and surface insights to the training team
    and client-facing stakeholders
  • Manage the production pipeline for new training content as Syllo ships product releases,
    coordinating with the training team subject matter experts to keep content current
  • Identify opportunities to improve the learner experience through A/B testing, feedback
    loops, and analysis of engagement and performance data

Qualifications
Note: this is a wish list. Please do not hesitate to apply if you only have some of these
qualifications, especially if you come from a less traditional background. We value both current
skills and proven potential, and will give you an opportunity to present your best foot forward
as part of our hiring process.

  • 3+ years of experience in instructional design, learning experience design, or a directly
    related role in a SaaS or technology environment
  • Demonstrated experience administering an LMS (such as Docebo, Absorb, Cornerstone,
    or similar) at the system level — not just publishing content
  • Proficiency with video and multimedia production tools such as Camtasia, Articulate,
    Adobe Captivate, or equivalent
  • Experience developing assessments and certification programs, including item writing,
    rubric design, and pass/fail calibration
  • Working knowledge of learning analytics — familiarity with SCORM or xAPI, and comfort
    configuring and interpreting reporting dashboards
  • Strong project management and production workflow skills; you can run a content
    pipeline across multiple contributors and deadlines
  • Experience designing for legal or compliance audiences is a plus, as is exposure to AI-
    powered software products

Capabilities

  • Systems thinking: you see the Academy as a whole and you manage all of it as a
    connected system
  • Craft: you produce learning assets that are clear, well-paced, and genuinely useful to
    legal professionals
  • Standards discipline: you establish design standards and hold the department to them
    consistently
  • Analytical orientation: you use data to identify what's working and what isn't, and you
    act on it
  • Collaboration: you work effectively with subject matter experts and others on the team

Compensation will be negotiated based on your qualifications and experience, with a salary range of $105K – $130K, with potential for a higher range for exceptional candidates. Total compensation package includes equity and benefits.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 07/31/2029

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.
