About Decoded
We are Decoded, the pioneers of transformative technology education. We democratise cutting-edge skills. We help transform traditional businesses into tech companies. We give our learners the skills and confidence to embrace the future of work.
Our products and methodologies have been shaped through our collaboration with some of the largest and most technologically progressive organisations in the world. We use the intelligent, ethical and creative application of technology to lay the foundations for a more productive and promising world – one with unlimited possibilities.
Overview
We are in search of facilitators to deliver our outstanding virtual/in-person education experiences.
Our Technology Facilitators run short-form workshops in Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Cybersecurity, Innovation, and Programming. You will work with employees from a variety of sectors, helping shape their understanding of technology and ability to effectively engage with technical teams.
You can work remotely from anywhere in the GMT -8 (Pacific Standard) to GMT -5 (Eastern Standard) time zones with travel within North America for in person sessions.
When applying, please bear in mind the following:
- We work in an area flooded with tech buzzwords (e.g. AI, machine learning, blockchain) — in your application show us how you would explain a buzz-wordy term to a room full of people that ‘get it’ but might have never ‘done it.’
- We really enjoy videos, and portfolios of work that show us your skills (make it fun)
- We deliver training that is technology and innovation focused — see if your application can reflect this
- This job is hiring on a rolling basis - if you haven't heard back from us in a while, it just means we are waiting for the right educational session to consider you for.
