Join a great team and do meaningful work!

Learning Bird supports First Nations, Métis and Inuit schools and Nations in building curricula, custom courses, and digital resources. Learning Bird is a 100% remote company with contributors located across Canada.

Role Summary You will be a pedagogical expert who delivers education consulting services to our partner communities and schools. You will work with education authorities, principals, educators, Elders and other community stakeholders to create engaging, culturally relevant, curriculum-aligned learning materials. You will often travel to communities with a videographer to film cultural events, record interviews with Elders, and connect with the needs of the communities you serve. Once materials have been gathered, you will coordinate small ad hoc project teams to create learning materials, typically consisting of a media designer and 1-2 instructional designers.

Personality Profile You can shift smoothly as priorities and demands change. You are flexible, versatile, and even-keeled. The job requires that you display empathy and build bridges with colleagues. You may also occasionally be expected to serve as a dynamic thought partner and an innovative leader, leveraging your broad understanding of the business and domain expertise.

You will be asked to serve as a liaison and translator between teams, helping others get up to speed even when they have only a general understanding of a concept or project. You must be a versatile communicator who understands each team member’s strongest drives and behaviours. You are critical to balancing conflicts over work priorities and to addressing differences of opinion.
