About us
At Primacorp Ventures, we are all about creating opportunities and making a meaningful impact. Founded in 1995, we're the largest accredited independent post-secondary education group in Canada. Yet, for us, this is just the opening act of our transformative journey!
Instructional Designer
Location: Campus Support Centre (Greater Vancouver Region preferred; fully remote options considered for exceptional candidates across Canada)
Reports To: Associate Vice President of Academics
Work Model: Hybrid (1–2 days in-office / remote flexibility) OR Fully Remote
Compensation: $60,000 / year + Comprehensive Benefits & Paid Time Off (PTO)
About the Role
Are you passionate about transforming education through engaging digital learning experiences and cutting-edge educational technology? We are seeking an innovative Instructional Designer to join our academic team at Campus Support Centre.
In this role, you will lead the creation, conversion, and continuous improvement of dynamic online curricula and interactive courses under the general supervision of the Associate Vice President of Academics. Whether you are translating on-ground materials into seamless digital formats, leveraging AI-driven course development tools, or ensuring compliance with ministry standards, your work will directly empower students and educators across our national post-secondary network.
While we have a strong preference for candidates based in the Greater Vancouver area who can join our hybrid workspace (1–2 days in-office), we are open to considering top-tier, fully remote applicants from anywhere in Canada who are the perfect fit for this position.

-
Compliance & Policy Alignment: Collaborate with the Compliance department and align with provincial ministry standards to secure approvals for new online programs and shape institutional policies.
-
Research & Innovation: Continuously research educational technology trends, open educational practices (OEP), and quality assurance frameworks to elevate course delivery.
