Sonata Learning, Inc Hiring for Seeking Instructional Designers with Strong Writing Skills at Remote Full Time

Are you equally comfortable writing dialogue for animated skits on DE&I or instructions for software?

Can you scan an article on any subject – from engineering to healthcare to business management – and quickly pick up on the industry-specific jargon?

Can you interview experts from different fields and help them explain concepts in terms a novice would understand?

If so, my company is seeking freelance instructional designers to help develop training materials and explainer videos for our clients, which include major nonprofits/NGOs, businesses and government agencies from around the world.

This is a 100% virtual, term-of-project role with potential to grow into a regular part-time or even full-time position. You can read more about our projects and clients on our website, https://www.sonatalearning.com
