• Demonstrated ability to deliver tailored instruction to diverse learners.

• Strong attention to detail and commitment to high‑quality training delivery.

• Previous experience developing or contributing to training curricula/courseware.

• Flexible vacation policy and schedule.

• Paid holidays structured so employees are off between December 25 and January 1.
