How to Apply for E-Learning Developer

at Project Expedite Justice

🏢 About Project Expedite Justice

Project Expedite Justice is a unique US-based NGO that combines legal advocacy with e-learning to empower justice actors worldwide. Working here means contributing to a mission-driven team that uses technology to strengthen the fight against impunity for mass atrocities, offering a rare blend of social impact and instructional design.

About This Role

As an E-Learning Developer, you will design and build online modules for the Digital Justice Hub, transforming field-tested methodologies into engaging asynchronous content for legal and investigative professionals. Your work directly enhances the capacity of justice actors to investigate and prosecute war crimes, making a tangible impact on global human rights.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with a virtual check-in with subject matter experts to discuss content for a new module on investigative interviewing. You'll then storyboard the module, develop interactive exercises using Articulate Storyline, and review analytics from previous courses to improve engagement. After lunch, you might record narration for a multimedia resource or draft assessment questions, ending the day by updating project timelines in Asana.
