We are currently looking for a lead instructor for our part-time (24 week) Data Analytics Bootcamp.

Our Data Analytics Bootcamp is a life-changing educational experience where learners gain the skills and mindsets to take on new careers as data analysts. We are looking for a lead instructor with experience cleaning, analyzing, and presenting data to stakeholders and clients.

This role is based in Singapore and is delivered in a hybrid (on campus and online) format, requiring instructors to reside in Singapore and have an eligible work permit or be a Singapore citizen or permanent resident. (We are not currently sponsoring employees.)

If you are looking to make a life-changing impact by sharing your love for data analytics with the next generation of analysts, we’d love for you to consider joining our team. We deliver more than just skills training, and are looking for teachers who share our vision for facilitating and mentoring a community of lifelong learners pursuing work that they love. As a teacher, you will join us to:

• Work closely with the instructional team (co-lead instructors, instructional associates, instructor manager) to guide students through a rigorous, transformational journey.
• Become a better leader, coach, and mentor as you learn from students, experienced instructors, and the larger General Assembly community.
• Inspire and support students as they identify their passions and drive their own continued learning beyond the curriculum; motivate students when they deal with classroom and personal challenges that become barriers to learning.
• Adapt our global curriculum and use it to guide your teaching, building your own lesson plans as needed and contributing back your lessons learned over time.
• Facilitate a safe, supportive, and energetic community that welcomes the various abilities, needs and learning styles of your students.

Through a combination of live instruction, supported study with independent work, unit projects (individual and team-based) and 1:1 support, we teach our learners how to turn messy real-world datasets into actionable, data-driven insights they can communicate. We will be using Excel, SQL, Tableau, and PowerBI as the primary tools for analysis as well as provide learners with a foundation in Python programming to build predictive machine learning models.

The Data Analytics Bootcamp consists of nine units:

• Unit 2: Statistics and mathematics for data analysts
• Unit 3: Data analysis and interpretation with Excel and Power BI
• Unit 4: Data acquisition and cleaning with SQL
• Unit 5: Data analysis and communication with Tableau
• Unit 6: Data analysis with Python
• Unit 7: Data in the organization
• Unit 8: Capstone projects

Learning is assessed through four major projects (two independent projects, a team/group data sprint, and final course capstone) as well as nine labs. About 20% of the overall class time is dedicated to supporting learners’ project work.

• You are eager to shape the skills, minds, and trajectories of eager General Assembly students.
