Dozent / Trainer Finanzbuchhaltung – Produktentwicklung (m/w/d)

Overview

This role involves taking ownership of the content and development of three core online courses focused on accounting, financial bookkeeping, and the use of DATEV software. The position is not a traditional teaching role but rather a subject matter expert role responsible for ensuring course content is accurate, practical, and up to date for learners aiming to start or advance careers in bookkeeping.

Responsibilities

• Maintain and develop three key courses: Corporate Accounting & Financial Management, Practical Financial Bookkeeping, and Financial Bookkeeping with DATEV.
• Design practical exercises and learning paths that reflect real-world job situations and build relevant skills without overwhelming learners with theory.
• Identify gaps or outdated content in the existing course portfolio, including changes in DATEV versions, tax law, or certification requirements.
• Brief, manage, and review contributions from external subject matter experts.
• Conduct regular live sessions such as webinars and Q&A with course participants.
• Monitor market trends including certifications, tools, exam regulations, and competitors.
• Integrate AI tools actively into daily work processes.
• Collaborate closely with teams in product operations, media design, editorial, and learning design.

What This Role Is Not

• It does not involve writing all course texts, video editing, or graphic design, as these tasks are handled by editorial and media teams.
• It is not a traditional instructor role delivering prepared presentations regularly.
• The role focuses on content accuracy and practical relevance, working closely with external experts on an equal footing.

Requirements

• Minimum of three years of professional experience in financial bookkeeping, accounting, or tax consulting.
• Proficient use of DATEV software, including bookkeeping, payroll, and monthly and annual financial statements.
• Ability to simplify complex subject matter and tailor content for learners at different levels, gained through experience as a trainer, formal certification, or practical work.
• Self-directed and structured work style, with the initiative to identify tasks without waiting for instructions.
• Openness to digital workflows, AI tools, and working in a developing environment.
• Training certification (e.g., AEVO) is a plus but not mandatory.
• No formal pedagogy degree required; didactic skills will be provided.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in training or mentoring colleagues or apprentices in cost and performance accounting (KLR) is advantageous.

Compensation & Benefits

• Remote-first work environment with optional in-person meetings up to three times per month depending on the role.
• Comprehensive onboarding to ensure full integration from day one.
• Travel support for regular strategy and team events.
• High-quality Apple hardware and modern tools provided.
• Monthly benefit budget of €100, usable for sports memberships, internet allowance, meal subsidies, vouchers, and more.
• Opportunity to work remotely from abroad for up to 60 days after the probation period.
• 31 paid vacation days, with flexible options to increase up to 50 days for extended leave.

Location
