WHY JOIN ALO?
Mindful movement. It’s at the core of why we do what we do at ALO—it’s our calling. Because mindful movement in the studio leads to better living. It changes who yogis are off the mat, making their lives and their communities better. That’s the real meaning of studio-to-street: taking the consciousness from practice on the mat and putting it into practice in life. OVERVIEW
As the Global Retail Sr. Instructional Designer, you'll own the design and production of the digital courses, videos, and graphics that bring alo's people, product, selling, and operational knowledge to life for our global store teams. Reporting to the Director of Retail Learning, you'll partner cross-functionally with Operations, Customer Experience, Human Resources, Marketing, etc. to turn business priorities into training that's clear, accurate, and unmistakably on-brand.
This is a senior, hands-on individual contributor role for someone who is passionate about making jobs easier for frontline teams, can get up to speed quickly on alo's store operations and processes, write and design fluently in the alo voice, and build high-quality learning content independently with minimal oversight. The role doesn't carry people-management responsibility today but is expected to grow into one as the retail learning function scales.
