Job Title: Lead Instructor

Company: General Assembly

Client: Confidential

Lesson Date: May 7th

Format: Fully Virtual

Session Duration: 90-minute lesson + 30-minute client demo + prep time

Compensation: $875 flat fee (inclusive of prep, demo, and delivery)

Schedule Requirements

  • Client Demo: Must be available for a 30-minute demo session for the client (Date TBD).
  • Internal Prep: Available for asynchronous preparation, and internal dry-run sessions to ensure consistency at scale.
  • Live Delivery: May 7th (90-minute session).

Role Overview

General Assembly is seeking a senior-level Lead Instructor to deliver a high-impact, 90-minute virtual training session on Generative AI tools for our client on May 7th. The ideal candidate is a "maestro" of virtual environments, capable of commanding a room of over 100 participants while managing complex logistics like breakout rooms and live, unscripted demonstrations. You will model how Enterprise AI tools can be integrated into workplace functions, maintaining a high-energy, engaging environment. Curriculum and content is already created, General Assembly is seeking a master trainer to facilitate.

Key Responsibilities & Requirements

1. Virtual Facilitation & Room Mastery

  • Command the Room: Expertly manage and engage a virtual audience of 100+ participants.
  • Orchestration: Act as a maestro of virtual platforms—managing breakout rooms, screen sharing, and stakeholder engagement simultaneously.
  • Adaptive Pacing: Read the room and adapt delivery for large groups, modifying tone and expectations based on learner abilities (from individual contributors to executives).
  • Live Facilitation: Provide spontaneous, "thinking-out-loud" live demos using real business use cases. You must be able to troubleshoot tool issues or prompt errors on the fly in front of a live audience.

2. Technical Expertise (Google AI Ecosystem)

  • Tool Mastery: Deep hands-on experience with Gemini, Gems, Notebook LM, and Google Workspace Studio.
  • GSuite Integration: Fluent across the full Google ecosystem (Sheets, Slides, Docs) and how AI features operate within them.
  • Advanced Prompting:
  • Apply structured and iterative techniques (e.g., Role, Objective, Specifics, or GCSE).
  • Use layered prompt engineering with document uploads to extract key actions and generate structured summaries.
  • Design multi-step prompt workflows and task chains that simulate decision-making.
  • Data Transformation: Use GenAI to transform unstructured data from multiple sources (PDFs, spreadsheets) into usable, presentation-ready content.

3. Instructional Leadership & Methodology

  • Industry Context: Experience in Food Delivery, Marketplace, Supply Chain, or Logistics is highly preferred to ensure use cases are relevant.
  • Scaffolded Approach: Articulate a structured learning path, explaining what GenAI is and how it supports specific business objectives.
  • Collaborative Leadership: Proactively coordinate with Associate Instructors (IAs) and lead team members through their responsibilities.
  • Professional Tone: Frame delivery as a "co-worker showing how I do this" rather than a traditional trainer, maintaining a contagious energy and passion for the topic.

Required Qualifications

  • Senior Expertise: Proven experience in modeling Enterprise AI tools for professional workplace functions.
  • Google Specialist: Prior experience specifically with Google Suite tools is required (not just general AI knowledge).
  • Organizational Excellence: Hyper-organized and diligent in the preparation of content and instructional methodology.
  • Engagement Obsessed: A deep focus on creating an engaging student experience for every learner.

Unless otherwise noted, remote positions can be performed from the following approved General Assembly operating countries.

United States of America (states of operation may vary), Canada (provinces of operation may vary), United Kingdom, Australia, and Singapore.
