Dion Training believes in blending outstanding people with state-of-the-art serverless technology to rapidly scale with the increasing demands for our products. We are a quick-moving company and looking for someone who shares our growth mindset and isn’t afraid of embracing emerging technologies.

We are seeking a Production Assistant who will work with our production team to help with creating, editing, reviewing, publishing, and supporting our online courses for our students around the world. The Production Assistant will be able to use their creativity in videos and graphics. The videos and graphics you create will not only entertain, but they will be used to transform the lives of our students and help them advance in their careers. As video is our predominant training method on our online platforms, your position plays an integral role in our student’s (and our company’s) success. This role is part ‘graphics editor’, part ‘video editor’, and part ‘administration support’. Don’t worry, though, we will provide training for the right candidate!

What You’ll Be Doing

As a production assistant, you will produce clean, well-created slides, graphics, and animation according to the templates and training provided. You must be experienced in Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint in order to create study guides from the videos, edit spreadsheets, and produce slides to use within the videos. Graphics creation from scratch is not required, but instead you will select appropriate stock photography or modify existing vector graphics for use in the finished videos. You should be process-driven and able to follow existing processes, document new processes, and train other team members on those processes.

Dion Training is a growing and profitable company with lots of room for career growth.
