You’ll be someone who:

  • The ability to manage multiple priorities under pressure and deliver to extremely tight deadlines
  • Excellent stakeholder management and relationship‑building skills
  • Exceptional organisational, time‑management and prioritisation skills
  • Strong editing and proofreading capability with outstanding accuracy
  • High levels of digital and IT capability
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • A proactive, agile and motivated mindset

Desirable skills

  • Experience with learning authoring tools such as Articulate or iSpring
  • Ability to create SCORM‑compliant packages
  • Skills in video editing or digital content creation

Additional Information

This is a home‑based role, with travel as required, so you’ll need a suitable working space.

If you are driven by creativity, thrive in a dynamic, fast-paced, environment, and are eager to make a real impact to learners’ experiences, we would love to hear from you.
