I need someone to LEAD the development of our new courses
Budget: $5 – $20 CAD
Hi everyone,
this is a long shot... but here goes nothing.
(first of all - if you're a bot and you can't even READ a job posting and answer questions in it, move on)
I'm working on a small company inside the localization industry. We offer courses and intensive bootcamps for students who want to learn and experience the job. We also work with companies that use these bootcamps as a way to hire better employees.
The project is called Localization Academy.
Currently, we have one ongoing course for project management which I created. There are multiple other roles we would like to create courses for (e.g. engineering, testing, vendor management, etc.). I created the first course by myself because I can teach it. Here's a sneaky interruption, please include the word 'bish' in your application if you read this. For the new courses, I don't know the area well enough to teach it.
This is where you come in... but you do NOT need to be the expert. You just need to find the right expert(s), work with them on the curriculum, create processes around this, take feedback, keep improving it, etc.
Basically, this is a product/program/project manager role. Kind of...?
It is a strategic role for us and if you turn out to be the right fit, eventually I'd like you to join the company.
When you apply, answer the following questions:
- why you think you could be a good candidate for this role that is not even well defined :D
- what do you think you should be doing to create a new course for students
- what's your experience in this area
Who I like to work with in general:
- accountability. Your word needs to matter. If you propose a deadline for delivery, either deliver on time or let me know before if you can't make it.
- systematic. I'm going to give you a TON of feedback. You have to be able to go through every single comment and either fix it or reply. If I tell you 24 things to change and you process 22, it doesn't work for me.
- you're willing to learn, always.
- no copy-pasta applications.
I don't have much hope of finding someone here, but sometimes I do get lucky... so let's see.
thanks,
Andrej
