Application Process

To apply for the role, please email your CV and cover letter to nicolette@teamdsc.com.au by Friday 4 July at 5pm AEDT. Applications submitted via LinkedIn will not be considered. Please include a cover letter that answers the following questions (you don’t need to write an essay - a few paragraphs will do!):

• What excites you about the opportunity to join DSC?
• How do your strengths and experience align with what we’re looking for?
• What trends or innovations in learning design are you currently most interested in, and why?

The interview process has 2-3 rounds, including some hands-on tasks to make sure the role’s a great fit for both sides.

What’s on offer?

• Pro-rata salary of $95 – $115 k.
• Six weeks of annual leave every year pro-rata (that’s two bonus weeks on top of the usual four)
• A generous learning & development budget to help you keep growing
• Initial 12 month contract with possibility of extension
• Work from home with flexible office hours
• Join a dynamic, impact-driven team that does exceptionally good work (and has fun doing it)

We’re picturing the role at about three days a week but we’d rather shape the job around the right person. We are also open to engaging the right person via a contractor agreement if preferred.

If any of the details above don’t quite fit, we encourage you to apply anyway and have a chat about what would work best for you.
