The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  Dollar General is hiring a Instructional Designer in Thousand Oaks, CA.

• Role description

  Big idea, tiny execution flaw, total disaster: the Instructional Designer Dollar General wants closes that gap before anyone else even spots it. If 5 years of Decision Making sits behind you, Dollar General offers $78,000 - $121,000, a hybrid setup, and a ladder worth climbing.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Storyboard and direct photo, video, and content shoots end to end
  • Trace every Persona Development asset back to the brief so revisions stay honest
  • Read the room mid-presentation and reorder the deck on the fly
  • Fold accessibility into the first sketch, not the final QA pass
  • Produce polished assets using Information Architecture and Style Guides from concept through final delivery
  • Choreograph the handoff so nothing candidly-kind gets lost between studio and dev

  What You'll Bring

  • Mid-level fluency in Persona Development, with HTML/CSS on your roadmap
  • Sharp written and verbal communication, tested under scrutiny
  • Comfort being measured against a clear mid-level bar
  • Equal parts Information Architecture depth and Color Theory curiosity
  • A CA work history, or strong reasons you'll thrive here anyway
  • Detail-oriented approach with a commitment to accuracy
