About the business and the role

Global Vision has always been a pioneer. The first organisation in Australia with Digital Video production, a pioneer of eLearning and the first to bring Learning Management Systems to Australia, we remain at the forefront of educational technology in Australia and New Zealand.

Our clients range from local, state and federal government to large corporate clients in all states who turn to us when only the highest quality and client understanding will suffice.

Current projects include:

an HR system for a large disability services provider;

professional development materials for Victorian teachers;

a health awareness video for indigenous Australians;

a training programme for the local government sector nationally;

a training for building and construction workers nationally, and

an training programme for new power generation facility in northern Australia.

With an average staff longevity of over ten years, positions with GVM are rare, but dramatic and sustained growth in recent times causes us to require a project manager versatile enough to manage a wide range of projects and with the skills to organise one of Australia's most talented team of developers on one hand and interface with large clients on the other.
