    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
    • Healthcare Coverage
    • Education Budget: Language lessons, professional training and certifications
    • Wellness Budget: Mental health and fitness activity reimbursements
    • Vacation policy: 20 days of annual leave and paid sick leave
