We are also looking for someone with the strategic insight to help us expand over the next years and develop a well-organised, good-functioning e-Learning programme.
Technical skills: it would be ideal if the candidate has some experience with video-editing, due to the nature of e-Learning. These can be developed over the long-term, but in that case, there should be an openness to learn. Some experience of WordPress is a plus.
