Full job description
We are looking for an Instructional Designer Team Lead for our Learning & Development Team — a role focused on solving business and performance challenges through learning rather than simply creating training content.
This role is ideal for someone who enjoys working in a corporate L&D environment, applying a product mindset, and making decisions even when data is incomplete.
Challenges that await you:
-
Lead a team of 7 Instructional Designers, including hiring, development, mentoring, and performance management
-
Design learning solutions that address real business and performance challenges rather than simply delivering training content
-
Define learning objectives, expected behavioral changes, and measurable business outcomes for every initiative
-
Design end-to-end learning experiences, including learning architecture, learning paths, practice activities, reinforcement, and transfer to the workplace
-
Select the most effective learning format for each challenge, whether it's a course, simulation, checklist, case study, manager enablement, or an in-workflow intervention
-
Create high-quality learning content that supports measurable performance improvement
-
Formulate learning hypotheses, validate them through pilots and iterations, and continuously improve learning solutions based on data
-
Apply both learning and business metrics to evaluate effectiveness and measure impact
-
Design MVP learning solutions and pilot programs before scaling initiatives across the organization
-
Partner with L&D Project Managers to analyze results, identify what worked, and iterate on future solutions
-
Maintain and continuously improve the knowledge base, ensuring it remains a practical tool rather than a static repository
-
Develop reusable learning frameworks and scalable design patterns instead of building every solution from scratch
What makes you a great fit:
-
Proven experience in corporate or B2B Learning & Development is required
-
Experience as an Senior Instructional Designer, Learning Experience Designer, Methodologist, or in a similar role
-
Experience applying both learning and business metrics to evaluate training effectiveness
-
Strong understanding of instructional design principles and adult learning methodologies
-
Product mindset with the ability to start from business goals and desired outcomes rather than content creation
-
Experience working with hypotheses, experimentation, validation, and iterative improvement
-
Strong systems thinking and the ability to make decisions in situations with incomplete or ambiguous information
-
Confidence to challenge training requests when learning is not the right solution and recommend a more effective approach
-
C1 English level for effective communication with an international team
Your bonus skills:
-
Experience working in both corporate Learning & Development and EdTech environments
-
Experience supporting learning in fast-growing technology or product-driven companies
-
Experience collaborating with cross-functional business stakeholders
-
Understanding of how learning initiatives influence business performance and operational metrics
-
Spanish language skills
Our ways of working:
-
Innovative Spirit: A commitment to creativity and groundbreaking solutions
-
Honest Feedback: valuing open, transparent communication
-
Supportive Team: a strong, collaborative community
-
Celebrating Achievements: recognizing our wins together
-
High-Tech Environment: a team full of smart and revolutionary people who date to challenge the status quo of incumbent finances
Our benefits:
-
Relocation support to Mexico with assistance for the employee and their family
-
Flexible work from our office or remote
-

-
Education Budget: Language lessons, professional training and certifications
-
Wellness Budget: Mental health and fitness activity reimbursements
