Education Perfect is an EdTech platform designed to empower educators and amplify their impact in the classroom. We aim to enable teachers to personalise learning at scale with a range of powerful learning, assessment, and insights tools, helping them and their students reach their full potential.
As an EPeep, you’ll work on projects that have a real impact on students' lives and have the freedom, support and resources you need to develop your skills and grow your career.
Are you passionate about creating inclusive, thriving workspaces where everyone feels they belong? We’re looking for an amazing, people-focused individual to join us on a 12-month adventure as our Community & Inclusion Specialist, joining our People & Culture team. In this role, you'll be the heartbeat of our global office experience, keeping our spaces humming and our culture strong. You’ll also champion DEI initiatives that make a real impact, helping us build a workplace where everyone is seen, heard and celebrated.
While we welcome applications from candidates across Aotearoa, preference may be given to those based in or near one of our main hubs in New Zealand (Dunedin, Christchurch, Auckland and Wellington) to allow for occasional in-person connection and collaboration. This is the perfect role for someone looking to work part-time hours (25 hours per week) while flexing both their strategic and creative muscles. If you love bringing people together, sparking joy in the everyday, and making EP an even better place to work—we want to hear from you!
