About Juniper Square

Our mission is to unlock the full potential of private markets. Privately owned assets like commercial real estate, private equity, and venture capital make up half of our financial ecosystem yet remain inaccessible to most people. We are digitizing these markets, and as a result, bringing efficiency, transparency, and access to one of the most productive corners of our financial ecosystem. If you care about making the world a better place by making markets work better through technology – all while contributing as a member of a values-driven organization – we want to hear from you. 

Juniper Square offers employees a variety of ways to work, ranging from a fully remote experience to working full-time in our physical office in San Francisco or one of our co-working spaces. We invest heavily in digital-first operations, allowing our teams to collaborate effectively across most US states, two Canadian Provinces, and India.

  • Apply instructional design theories, models, and best practices to create effective and engaging learning experiences.

  • Ensure that elearning content is accessible, user-friendly, and optimized for different devices and platforms.

  • Ensure content is delivered effectively using LMS tools, and that usage, assessment, and efficacy data is transparent and accessible to key stakeholders.

  • Incorporate multimedia elements such as graphics, animations, audio, and video to enhance learning effectiveness.

  • Conduct quality assurance reviews to ensure accuracy, functionality, and alignment with learning objectives.

  • Collaborate with departmental leadership to help determine initiative and project scopes and timelines, and ensure project progress is tracked and transparent.

  • Stay updated on emerging trends and technologies in elearning and instructional design.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Instructional Design, Educational Technology, or related field.

  • Proven experience (7+ years) designing and developing elearning content, preferably in a corporate or educational setting.

  • Proficiency with elearning authoring tools such as Articulate Rise, Adobe Captivate, or similar platforms.

  • Strong understanding of instructional design principles, learning theories, and adult learning principles.

  • Experience working with subject matter experts and translating technical content into engaging elearning materials.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to explain complex concepts clearly and concisely.

  • Creative mindset with a keen eye for visual design and user experience.

  • Strong small team leadership and project management skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.

  • Familiarity with SCORM, xAPI and other elearning standards is a plus.

  • Portfolio showcasing examples of elearning projects and design work.

  • Experience working in the software training space and understanding of the software development lifecycle.
