Application Process

To apply for the role, please email your CV and cover letter to [email protected] by Friday 4 July. Applications submitted via Seek 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.
