ABOUT DECODED

We are Decoded and we make technology education human. We help some of the largest and most technologically progressive organizations in the world up-skill and inspire their employees through training programs and workshops. Our mission is to be the world’s greatest technology educator, and to change the way people interact with technology. Curious about our style of teaching? Check out our Demystifying the Digital World talk to get a taste of how we do, what we do.

OVERVIEW
Our Data & Digital Leadership Facilitators run short-form workshops in Data Science, Cybersecurity and Programming. You will work with senior leaders from every sector, helping shape their understanding of technology and ability to effectively engage with technical teams. You can work remotely from anywhere in the EST + 2 time zones. 

When applying please bear in mind the following:

• We work in an area flooded with tech buzzwords (e.g. AI, machine learning, blockchain) — in your application show us how you would explain a buzz-wordy term to a room full of people that ‘get it’ but might have never ‘done it.’

• We really enjoy videos, and portfolios of work that show us your skills (make it fun)

• We deliver training that is technology and innovation focused — see if your application can reflect this
