📋 Description

• The Instructional System Designer at General Motors plays a pivotal role in developing high-quality, modern learning solutions that strengthen professional and leadership skills across the organization, directly supporting business outcomes in Engineering, Safety, HR, Finance, Corporate Learning, and IT.
• Day to day, the role involves advising business partners on adult learning principles, conducting needs analyses to identify performance gaps, partnering with SMEs and stakeholders to validate learning needs, designing and developing multi-modal learning experiences (eLearning, ILT/VILT, videos, workshops, podcasts, job aids) using models like ADDIE and SAM, utilizing AI for modality selection and development speed, preparing design documents and assessments, writing instructional materials and facilitator guides, managing projects via agile approaches, and supporting LMS integration.
• The team is part of GM’s Corporate Learning function, working within a large, matrixed organization to deliver engaging, relevant learning solutions that improve workforce performance and align with organizational goals through collaboration with cross-functional partners.
• In this role, the person can deepen expertise in instructional design, adult learning theory, and modern learning strategies; gain hands-on experience with AI-integrated eLearning authoring tools (Articulate Rise/Storyline, Vyond, video editing); develop project management and consulting skills; build a strong portfolio of scenario-based, action-based, and blended learning solutions; and contribute to GM’s vision of Zero Crashes, Zero Emissions, and Zero Congestion by enabling a skilled, adaptable workforce.

🎯 Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in instructional design, curriculum development, or eLearning
• Bachelor’s Degree preferred in a related field or equivalent experience
• Portfolio required demonstrating work samples in eLearning, ILT/VILT materials, scenario-based learning, action-based learning, and performance support tools
• Experience designing blended learning solutions (ILT, VILT, eLearning, job aids)
• Advanced proficiency in eLearning authoring and multimedia tools (Articulate Rise and Storyline, Vyond, video editing software, Microsoft Office)
• Experience using AI for all aspects of training development (tools, scripting, etc.)
• Ability to manage multiple projects with accuracy and attention to detail
• Strong consulting, communication, and relationship-building skills

🏖️ Benefits

• Medical, dental, and vision health plans
• Health Savings Account and Flexible Spending Accounts
• Retirement savings plan
• Paid vacation & holidays
• Tuition assistance programs
• Employee assistance program
• GM vehicle discounts
• Sickness and accident benefits, life insurance
• Selected Category: HR & Recruiting
• Parent Category: Human Resources
• Confidence: 0.90
• Reasoning: The job title 'Instructional System Designer' falls under learning and development, which is a core function of Human Resources (HR). The role supports HR, Engineering, Safety, Finance, and IT by developing learning solutions to strengthen workforce skills—this aligns with HR’s responsibility for talent development, training, and organizational learning. While the role involves design and technology, the primary purpose is workforce capability building, not product design or software engineering. The categorization is guided by the title’s implication of an HR/L&D role, and the description confirms partnership with HR as a key stakeholder. No more specific child category (e.g., Recruiter, Training Specialist) exists in the list, so HR & Recruiting is the most appropriate fit under the Human Resources parent category.
