Job Details
Come join a fast-growing and flexible company!
The Data Science Instructor is the brand ambassador for our company and it is your responsibility not only to deliver dynamic lessons online and possibly in-person, but to also create an environment that is conducive to the success of every student. We provide all the instructional materials that you will need, including slides/content material, exercises, and quizzes - so there is no content creation responsibility. Rather, we encourage you to bring your experience into the classroom. Lean on your expertise to deliver engaging lessons online and create an environment that is conducive to the success of every student. Your position is key in communicating the students' needs to leadership and instructional designers and maintaining a steady focus on opportunities to enhance the student experience. While we are currently running 90% of our training programs online there may be opportunities for travel and on-site work in the future.
Your responsibilities will include:
- Leading engaging and intuitive live-streaming training for a professional audience.
- Supporting students via email after training.
- Learning of additional client needs through conversations with students and key client stakeholders.
Who we are looking for:
You are a data scientist and are excited to pass on your knowledge and experience to a professional audience. You are passionate about STEM and believe in making high-quality, intuitive education accessible to all. You are passionate about helping students achieve their objectives, and want to have a job where you interact with professionals and help them solve the challenges that they face. You are a dynamic speaker who is comfortable working in a professional environment, delivering training in front of senior staff in the federal government and Fortune 500 companies. You're excited to be part of a hard working team who gets the job done, but also finds time to check in with each other during the day.
Required skills / knowledge:
- Fundamentals of data literacy
- Experience instructing management-level students
- Expertise in data visualization, design, and storytelling
- Knowledge of how above techniques can be applied to solve industry problems
- At least 2 years of data science experience in the government sector. Priority will be given to individuals with experience working with the State Department, however you must not be a current employee as this will pose a conflict of interest.

- At least 1 year of experience teaching data science.
- Expertise in data literacy, visualization, design, and storytelling.
Location
Data Society training is delivered via live-streaming and can be done from your home location. Data Society covers travel expenses outside of the Washington, DC area or outside of the instructor's home base. Our home office is located in downtown Washington, DC with a second office location in Richmond, VA.
Why you should apply
Competitive pay, dynamic environment, opportunity for growth and learning new skills. We foster a collaborative work space where individuals can flourish and make an impact on how the company functions. We know that our team is the reason we are so successful - that's why we focus on an inclusive culture that allows for flexibility and a comfortable environment so you can enjoy your time outside of work as much as your time at work. As a growing business, we are seeking instructors who are excited to catalyze industries through empowering their workforce.
