The opportunity

At SNHU, Network Instructional Designers work across multiple programs and disciplines on a part-time, as-needed basis. Network Instructional Designers can be tasked with several types of design projects, including contributing to the development of new academic programs, revising existing course offerings, and providing quality assurance services for multiple project teams. We will ask you to collaborate with cross-departmental partners in the design and on-time delivery of high-quality courses. Following University design frameworks, standards, and templates is of the utmost importance. The work associated with this role is asynchronous, but there are some minimal synchronous onboarding requirements at the outset of each new project. Assignments can be shorter in length (2 to 4 weeks) or longer term (up to 6 months) with varying amounts of anticipated weekly hours (as little as 5 to 10 hours or occasionally as many as 20 to 25 hours). Network IDs must maintain organization with their assigned tasks and deadlines, remain transparent with status updates and documentation, respond to all inquiries, and can shift tasks and focus from week to week based on the needs of their assigned project teams.

This role is fully remote and will report to the Assistant Director of National Partner Networks. #LI-remote
