If this sounds like you, keep reading - we want to hear from you! We are a fully remote company, and you can truly live anywhere while doing this job. We’re looking to hire someone immediately, but for the right candidate, we’re willing to wait as well. English fluency is required.

• Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously and meet deadlines. 

• Collaborate with colleagues on our Talent Experience team to develop a deep understanding of our communities and identify learning partnerships that will drive engagement, retention, and an enhanced learning experience for our members. 

• Work very closely with our Legal and Finance teams to finalize operational and contracting details with prospective learning partnerships. 

• Partner with our Product and Marketing teams to drive awareness and adoption of our learning initiatives and to better integrate our upskilling offerings into the right moments of our community members’ Andela.

• A successful track record of designing and delivering learning programs. 

• A deep understanding of technical communities, edtech, or freelance or contractor talent and their unique needs. 

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a tendency to over-document and over-communicate we are fully remote, so this is very important. 

• Fluency in English is required. Portuguese or Spanish is not required, but either would be nice to have. 

• Highly organized and self-motivated, with the ability to work independently and multi-task in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. 

• A skilled project leader who can launch, test, and measure the success of initiatives in sprints.
