Instructional Designer

**How to be a part of the digital training revolution**:
1\. Start with a passion for sustainable worker training.

2\. Next, follow that passion into linguistics or related studies.

We need experts with good comprehension and conceptualization skills to curate successful digital training experiences for our customers’ manual workers. This role will entail shaping our digital training methodology.

At how.fm, we are a small - and experienced - team of long-time colleagues and friends. We want to give everyone a fair chance to learn no matter their background. To achieve this we are on a mission to train 1 million deskless workers across the world in their own language. And that is just the beginning

We have a modern office in Cologne, though we often work remotely and encourage all our team to work where it suits them. At least once a month we have workshops or events where we meet as a team in Cologne. So even if we don't have to commute every day, it is important that you are able to do so regularly.
