Job Overview

We are seeking an experienced Instructional Designer / Course Writer to develop the foundational outline and content structure for an online course aimed at life insurance agents who want to transition into a remote, flexible work model. This course will guide agents through the process of selling life insurance from anywhere, even overseas, giving them the freedom to work remotely and adopt a nomadic lifestyle.

This is a short-term, project-based role focused on the initial content outline and instructional design phase only, with an estimated workload of 20–30 hours over a two-week period. The position is part-time and will involve working closely with the course creator to transform their knowledge and vision into a structured, engaging course outline. This role may lead to further work based on project needs and mutual agreement, but there is no long-term commitment required beyond this phase.

Set up a remote sales model for life insurance

Manage compliance and communication challenges remotely

Build a client base, handle time zone differences, and balance work-life remotely

As the instructional designer, your role is to create a course structure that clearly communicates these objectives and breaks down the material into actionable, easy-to-follow steps.

2. Scripting & Module Development

Write detailed lesson plans or scripts that will guide content creation, including specific talking points, activities, and potential student assessments.

Design strategies to reinforce learning, improve retention, and encourage active engagement with the material.



4. Research & Validation

Conduct industry research as needed to back up course content with relevant, real-world examples or case studies.

Recommend best practices in online education to ensure the course remains competitive and valuable.



5. Feedback & Iteration

Work closely with the course creator to incorporate feedback and adjust the course outline as necessary to meet educational goals.

Be open to refining the course structure based on initial feedback to maximize student engagement and comprehension.
