Responsibilities
- Take full ownership of three digital courses covering Corporate Accounting & Financial Management, Practical Financial Accounting, and Financial Accounting with DATEV.
- Maintain deep knowledge of course content, keep materials up to date, and continuously develop the offerings.
- Design practical exercises and learning paths that simulate real-world professional scenarios, building skills step-by-step using current finance tools.
- Monitor key course metrics such as learner satisfaction, success rates, and content relevance; proactively address any issues.

- Occasionally conduct live sessions such as webinars and Q&A to engage with learners.
- Keep abreast of certifications, tools, examination regulations, and competitor offerings.
- Collaborate closely with teams in Product Operations, Media Design, Editorial, and Learning Design.
What This Role Is Not
- This is not a traditional teaching or lecturing position.
- You will not be responsible for writing texts, video editing, or graphic design, as these tasks are handled by dedicated teams.
- You are the decision-maker on content accuracy and relevance, working closely with external experts on an equal footing.
Requirements

- Proficient use of DATEV, including bookkeeping, payroll, and monthly and annual financial statements.

- Strong communication skills and willingness to engage with colleagues, external experts, and learners in live formats.
- Quick comprehension and excellent written and verbal German language skills.
- Enthusiasm for building something new and openness to modern, AI-supported workflows.
- A training certificate or AEVO qualification is a plus but not required; didactic skills will be taught.
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 covering costs for regular strategy and team events.
