• Role description

  A great creative hire changes how a company sees itself, and Scripps Health is ready for that kind of shift with our incoming Instructional Designer. Cut to the chase and you get $75,000 - $109,000, a creative mandate, and Scripps Health colleagues who treat ownership as the default.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Stitch fragmented brand assets into a system that scales past Scripps Health's next phase
  • Wring narrative clarity from a feature list three product managers fought over
  • Frame the design rationale so senior approvers feel smart agreeing with you
  • Reframe a tired product story until senior stakeholders lean forward again
  • Catch the brand drift early, before Iowa City, IA field reps improvise their own
  • Borrow structure from film editing to fix a Sketch sequence that drags
  • Own the look of seasonal launches from moodboard through final handoff
  • Cut a sixty-second story to fifteen without amputating the point

  What You'll Bring

  • The integrity to flag your own mistakes first
  • Knowledge of IA-specific regulations relevant to creative work
  • Willingness to commute to Iowa City, IA or work flexibly as needed
  • Solid Design Thinking grounding, plus Adobe After Effects you can pick up on the fly

  • Self-direction that survives a quiet Slack channel

  Scripps Health spent 5 years in the trenches of creative so its clients across Iowa City, IA wouldn't have to. Slack threads here stay civil because we critique the Design Thinking work, not the human behind it.
