[Hiring] E-Learning Designer @IRIS

Role Description

As IRIS Academy continues to grow across more of our products, we’re looking for Content Designers / Digital Learning Designers to help us create clear, practical and useful digital learning for our customers. This role would suit someone who has created digital learning, customer education, software training, enablement, instructional or support content, ideally within a software, SaaS, technology or customer-facing environment.

You don’t need previous experience with IRIS products, but you do need to be curious, confident learning unfamiliar software and comfortable asking questions until you fully understand how a product or feature works.

Why This Role Matters

• Help customers understand how our products work
• Assist in adopting new features
• Support customers in completing important tasks correctly
• Enable customers to solve common problems
• Encourage confident use of our software
• Ensure customers continue getting value from the products they use

What You'll Be Doing

A big part of this role is discovery. Before creating content, you’ll work with:

• Product Owners
• Subject Matter Experts
• Customer-facing teams
• Other stakeholders

To understand:

• What the product or feature does
• Who it is for
• What customer problem it solves
• Why it matters
• How customers use it
• Where customers may struggle
• What they need to know or do differently

You’ll then turn that information into clear, practical digital learning, which could include:

• Online courses and learning pathways
• Clear instructional copy
• Audio or video scripts
• Screenshots, screencasts and short videos
• Knowledge checks, quizzes and assessments
• Step-by-step guides and supporting materials

You’ll also keep content accurate as products change, use learner feedback and data to improve content, and contribute to shared standards across IRIS Academy.

The team is also exploring AI-assisted tools and workflows, so curiosity about new technology and smarter ways of working will be important.

What We’re Looking For

• Experience creating digital learning, customer education, software training, enablement, instructional or support content.
• Experience explaining software, systems or technical processes in a simple and useful way.
• Experience working with customers, users, Product Owners, SMEs or technical experts to understand a subject before creating content.
• Confidence asking probing questions and following up on answers rather than simply working from a fixed brief.
• The ability to understand what problem a product or feature solves for the customer.
• A customer-focused mindset, with an understanding that learning should help users adopt products, use them confidently and get ongoing value from them.
• Strong written communication skills and the ability to make complex information clear.
• A proactive, curious approach to learning unfamiliar products and tools.
• Strong organisation skills and the ability to manage several pieces of content at once.
• Confidence building relationships with stakeholders across different teams.
• A willingness to receive feedback and improve your work.
• Experience creating learning for external software/SaaS customers would be particularly relevant.
• This role may suit someone from a background in digital learning design, customer education, software/product training, enablement, SaaS customer success, software support, professional services, implementation or instructional design.
• Experience with tools such as Articulate Rise, Storyline, Camtasia, Learning Management Systems, video tools or AI-assisted content creation would be helpful, but is not essential.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to join a growing team that is shaping how customers learn across IRIS. You’ll build deep knowledge of our products, work closely with experts across the business and create learning that helps customers succeed with the software they use.

You’ll also continue developing your own skills across customer education, digital learning design, instructional design, video content, authoring tools and AI-assisted content creation.

If you enjoy understanding how software works, asking questions, making complicated things simple and helping customers succeed, we’d love to hear from you.

• Application review — we assess your experience and potential
• Initial call — a short conversation to learn about you and share more about the role
• Skills assessment — tailored to the position, e.g. case study, coding challenge or portfolio review
• Final interview — meet the team and explore how you'll make an IMPACT at IRIS

We'll always walk you through the specific stages at the start of the process so you can prepare with confidence. If you need any adjustments or accommodations during the process, let us know, we’re committed to making this experience accessible for everyone.
