Content Designer

Join Mursion, a dynamic startup focused on immersive simulation design for behavioral skills development. As a Content Designer, you'll create realistic practice experiences that help individuals build essential skills for complex real-world conversations. This fully remote, full-time position requires a deep understanding of human behavior, workplace dynamics, and effective communication. You'll collaborate with cross-functional partners, conduct research, and continuously improve simulations based on feedback and performance data.

• Concevoir et développer des simulations immersives qui offrent des opportunités significatives aux apprenants pour pratiquer et démontrer des compétences essentielles.
• Collaborer avec d'autres membres de l'équipe de conception de simulations et des partenaires interfonctionnels pour garantir que chaque simulation est ancrée dans une conception d'apprentissage solide.
• Utiliser les retours d'expérience, les données de performance et les observations de test pour maintenir, mettre à jour et améliorer les simulations.

• We are looking for people who are serious about developing the specialized craft of Mursion simulation design
• Successful Content Designers are able to understand the real context of a simulation, identify the skills most essential for navigating that real-world challenge and the common pitfalls of the target audience, and translate that understanding into interactions that feel authentic, flexible, and instructionally meaningful
• The people who thrive on this team are curious, rigorous, detail-oriented, and highly self-directed
• They love learning new things, can make sense of ambiguity, conduct thoughtful research, ask strong questions, incorporate feedback carefully, and keep improving their work while effectively applying established processes, principles, and guidance without needing a lot of oversight or a step-by-step blueprint to follow
• They enjoy doing research about human behavior, industries, and skills, and can quickly learn about unfamiliar industries, roles, audiences, situations, and performance challenges in order to design credible and relevant simulations
• They are energized by the challenge of building something nuanced and high quality, not simply by the appeal of working in an innovative space. Because we work as a remote, distributed team in a dynamic startup environment and culture, we need people who can operate independently, take ownership of their work, adapt as our tools, processes, and approaches evolve, and stay committed to the level of quality and realism that differentiates Mursion simulations
• Just as importantly, successful Content Designers are strong collaborators who actively engage with teammates, share ideas, seek input, contribute to collective problem-solving, and help strengthen the quality of our work as a team
• Comfort working with ambiguity and complexity, including the ability to ask thoughtful questions, identify what needs to be clarified, and move work forward without needing a step-by-step blueprint
• We understand that not everyone will demonstrate proficiency in all of the areas listed under the responsibilities and qualifications. At Mursion, we strive to raise the bar! We encourage women and historically marginalized communities to apply if you feel your skills and life experiences are transferable to some of the qualifications in the job description
• Exceptional attention to detail, including the ability to closely review requirements, feedback, simulation materials, and participant/client-facing content for accuracy, clarity, consistency, and quality
• 2+ years of experience in a role that required designing, developing, researching, or writing complex human-centered content, experiences, or scenarios. Relevant backgrounds may include learning experience design, behavioral skills development, content strategist, conversational designer, applied research, facilitation, simulation design, assessment design, screenwriting, character-driven narrative design, scripted improv, or related fields
• Strong writing, editing, and synthesis skills, with the ability to translate complex context into clear, realistic, purposeful simulation materials for different audiences. Relevant writing backgrounds may include content design, instructional or learning experience design, journalism, screenwriting, creative writing, narrative design, communications, technical writing, or related fields
• Ability to work independently and manage multiple projects or workstreams in a remote, distributed, fast-moving startup environment
• Strong communication, collaboration, and executive presence, with the ability to build trust, engage productively with teammates and cross-functional partners, lead client and subject matter expert conversations, ask thoughtful questions, and represent Mursion’s simulation design approach with credibility and professionalism
• Technical curiosity and hands-on experience using AI tools to support research, drafting, analysis, or creative development, with demonstrated experience in learning new tools and approaches
• Preferred but not required: background or coursework in psychology, behavioral science, anthropology, communication, organizational behavior, learning sciences, assessment, research methods, creative writing, theater/improv, or related fields
