Technical Writer / Instructional Designer
This is a hybrid position based in Carson City, NV, with in-office work on Monday and Tuesday and remote work Wednesday through Friday, may occasionally shift to support the team as needed.

Job Summary
The Instructional Designer will join the Voter Registration & Election Management Solution (VREMS) Training Team under the Nevada Secretary of State Elections Division. This role focuses on designing,
developing, and delivering engaging training content to support election officials at the state, county,
and city levels, as well as temporary election workers and the general public. You will create digital and print learning experiences that make complex election administration processes accessible, accurate, and easy to follow.
You will translate federal and state election laws, regulations, and procedures into clear, interactive training resources. Deliverables include eLearning modules, facilitator and learner guides, job aids,
microlearning, handouts, PowerPoint presentations, video scripts, and knowledge base articles.
This role blends creativity with technical expertise. You'll use Adobe Captivate and Adobe Learning Manager to create eLearning, Zendesk to build and organize knowledge base content, and Microsoft Office, SharePoint, and Smartsheets to develop content and manage resources. You'll work closely with subject matter experts in the Elections Division and with county and city election offices to ensure materials are consistent, user-friendly, and scalable across the state.
This position plays a critical role in supporting the transparency, accuracy, and efficiency of Nevada's elections through high-quality training and knowledge resources. The ideal candidate brings strong instructional design skills, attention to detail, and the ability to create learning that supports both new and veteran election officials as they navigate the long learning curve of election administration.
Note: As part of the interview process, candidates are strongly encouraged to share sample work or a portfolio. This can include PowerPoint presentations, job aids, eLearning courses, facilitator or learner guides, or other instructional design deliverables.

Key Responsibilities
• Design, develop, and maintain engaging training materials in multiple formats (eLearning, facilitator/learner guides, PowerPoints, videos, microlearning, handouts, and job aids).
• Balance speed with quality, producing professional, polished content by defined deadlines while maintaining accuracy and instructional integrity.
• Collaborate with subject matter experts in the Elections Division and local election offices to ensure training content is accurate, relevant, and easy to apply.
• Translate complex election processes, regulations, and laws into clear, accessible, and engaging learning experiences for diverse audiences.
• Support both in-person and virtual training delivery using Microsoft Teams and other tools.
• Continuously evaluate training effectiveness and recommend improvements based on feedback and results.
• Manage multiple projects and deadlines while maintaining attention to detail and quality.
• Contribute to the ongoing development of Nevada's election training program and help shape new approaches to statewide learning initiatives.

Qualifications, Skills, & Abilities
(You don't need to meet every single qualification to be considered. If you meet most, we encourage you to apply.)
• Strong instructional design skills with experience creating eLearning, instructor-led training, blended learning programs, and certification programs.
• Minimum of 3–5 years of instructional design or related experience preferred (equivalent combinations of training, education, and experience will be considered).
• Proven ability to design and deliver high-quality content quickly, adapting to shifting timelines and priorities.
• Proficiency in instructional design software and learning management systems (e.g., Adobe Captivate, Articulate, Adobe Learning Manager, Cornerstone, or similar) and the ability to

• Instructional design certifications (e.g., ATD, CPLP, Kirkpatrick, etc.).
• Associate or bachelor's degree in instructional design, training, education, communications, or a related field.
• Experience with video editing, graphic design, or multimedia production to enhance learning content.
