Our innovative open-source business intelligence (BI) startup client needs a technically astute staff Senior Instructional Designer to convert instructor-led training (ILT) to self-paced eLearning content, then augment and improve it to world-class standards.

This company develops a full-featured set of user-facing and infrastructure components, both on-premise and cloud-based, to analyze and act on corporate data. Their growth has created this new opportunity, in which you'll (1) collaborate with Development, Marketing, and QA to develop course specifications, (2) gather content for self-paced training modules and courses, learning guides, interactive live online training and live classroom training for administrators, developers, and development partners, and (3) ensure that all deliverables are ready at or near product launch.

You'll lead and project-manage instructional design and curriculum development activities, interface with customers, partners, and employees as a subject matter expert, and (for 10 percent of your time) conduct train-the-trainer and knowledge-transfer sessions. Also, expect to travel (domestically and internationally) up to 10 percent of the time.

The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, writes with finesse, appreciates the value of standards and consistency, is familiar with databases (SQL), Java, report design, and data warehousing concepts, has deployed or used business intelligence systems, and has worked at (or with products from) Business Objects, Hyperion, or MicroStrategy.
