Upraised - Instructional Designer

A] About Upraised

- At Upraised, we are focused on helping candidates with 2-10 yrs of work experience bridge the employability gap, so they can realize their dream job.

- We are a seed-stage company founded by Mona Gandhi and backed by angels like Kunal Shah (CRED) & Vijay Shekhar Sharma (Paytm) and investors like Lightspeed India and South Park Commons from Silicon Valley.

- We're a small but ambitious bunch of people working on a very hard problem statement. You can learn more about the team via our website or via LinkedIn.

B] About the Product :

- We have a 16-week Career Accelerator Plan aimed at helping someone get a job, guaranteed. If you don- t get a job, you get your money back.

- The Career Accelerator Plan has 3 core components:

- Know Yourself Test (On Upraised's App)

- Learning Journey

Job Placement :

- We're unlike any other course. We- re outcome-oriented. The primary success metric for us is getting a job and not just completing the course.

- Feel free to explore the app and the website for more information.

C] Why are we hiring?

- We want to significantly enhance our Learning Journey as we believe better learning would lead to better outcomes (job placements) for our paid users.

- Our in-house experts on Product Management are not experts in designing, developing, and delivering instructional products and experiences, toward an efficient, effective, appealing, engaging, and inspiring acquisition of knowledge.

- We believe an Instructional Designer with solid foundations will be a strong value addition to the team.

D] Who are we looking for?

- This being our first hire in the curriculum/instructional design space, we want someone who's a generalist - someone who can comfortably work in many different situations, someone who can lead initiatives, and someone who's a go-getter.

Our ideal candidate would be someone who has checked most of these boxes:

- Solid understanding of ADDIE, LOs, Action Mapping, Mayer's Principles, Bloom's Taxonomy, Kirkpatrick model & other industry best practices

- Experience working with LMS & relaying problems to engineers

- Experience building coursework not restricted to K12 scenarios

- Has built at least 1 coursework from scratch & taken it live

- Worked in early-stage EdTech startups previously

- Willing to go above and beyond to get the job done

- Not be restricted to the JD. Can create sense from chaos

- Good at documentation & building new processes

- Has built, tested, released & updated courses

- A curious individual who has taken up & completed several courses in various fields

- Of course, we understand checking all those boxes is impossible. Willingness to learn, do & perform trumps everything else.
