Freelance Curriculum Designer + Training Module Producer (AI-Enabled)

Freelance Curriculum Designer + Training Module Producer (AI-Enabled)

Overview:

Hiring a freelance curriculum designer and training module producer to create internal-facing training modules that are clear, structured, and engaging. This role is not just about visuals, it includes curriculum design and instructional flow.

Training will be hosted in Rippling and reinforced/shared via internal Slack, so we need someone who can design training for real-world adoption, completion, and retention.

You will work closely with our internal lead (Creative Director) for creative direction and approvals. You own the curriculum structure and the finished training module production.

What you will do:

Curriculum + instructional design

Turn goals, raw info, and subject-matter input into a logical learning path

Create outlines, module structure, lesson sequencing, and assessments/checkpoints as needed

Write or refine scripts, narration, and on-screen text to match learning objectives

Apply best practices for adult learning and internal enablement (clarity, repetition, reinforcement, practice)

Training module production:

Produce training videos from storyboard/script to final export

Create a cinematic/animated visual style (not generic slides)

Build and maintain templates and style consistency across the training library

Package modules in a way that works inside Rippling (naming, formatting, versioning)

Create supporting assets as needed (thumbnails, job aids, quick reference PDFs, recap posts for Slack)

Preferred tools and current stack (not required, but helpful)

We currently use a mix of AI and creative tools, including:

Adobe Firefly

Midjourney

ElevenLabs

HeyGen (used selectively)

ChatGPT / Claude

RunwayML

We want the finished training to feel cinematic and animated where appropriate. HeyGen can be part of the toolkit, but it should not define the style.

What we are looking for:

Proven experience in instructional design / curriculum development (internal enablement is a plus)

Strong creative production skills (editing, pacing, typography, audio, narrative clarity)

Ability to take a messy input and produce a clean, structured curriculum

Excellent communication, deadlines, and version control

Comfortable collaborating with a Creative Director and iterating quickly

Deliverables (examples):

Module blueprint: learning objectives + outline + module map

Storyboards/scripts for each lesson

Final videos (MP4) + source files when applicable

Optional: short Slack-friendly recaps, quick-reference guides, or knowledge checks

Engagement details

Contract/Freelance (Upwork)

Remote

Ongoing work; start with a pilot module, then expand into a library

To apply: share portfolio examples (training, explainers, enablement content). If you have samples showing curriculum structure plus final video, include those.
