Educators & Learning Leaders | Explore a New Professional Path

Remote | Flexible | Independent Contractor

You've spent years helping other people learn, grow and reach their potential. You've stood in front of classrooms. Facilitated training. Mentored others. Designed learning experiences. Led teams.

Perhaps you've even discovered that some of your most valuable skills have nothing to do with a curriculum or a classroom.

They're the ability to communicate. Ask great questions. Build trust. Create meaningful conversations. And help people see possibilities they hadn't considered before.

What if those skills could be applied in a completely different professional environment?

Popcorn Potential is connecting with experienced educators, trainers, learning professionals and instructional leaders who are interested in exploring an independent, remote professional pathway focused on leadership, professional development and lifelong learning.

This is an opportunity to take the skills you've already developed and apply them in a new setting, while continuing to develop your own professional capabilities.

What You Could Be Doing

As an independent professional, your activities may include:

• Building relationships with professionals through online networking
• Having conversations around leadership, professional development and personal growth
• Sharing information about relevant educational events and development resources
• Communicating through platforms such as LinkedIn, Zoom and email
• Following established systems, processes and onboarding resources
• Participating in professional development and training
• Managing your own schedule and workflow
• Developing your skills in communication, leadership and relationship building

You won't be stepping into another classroom.

Instead, you'll be applying many of the skills you've developed as an educator in a different professional context.

Your Experience

We're particularly interested in people with backgrounds in:

• Teaching and education
• Adult learning
• Training and facilitation
• Instructional design
• Learning & Development
• Curriculum development
• Educational leadership
• Coaching or mentoring
• Professional development

You don't need experience in all of these areas.

What matters most is that you bring:

• 5+ years of professional experience
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• Experience facilitating learning, mentoring or developing others
• Confidence communicating through digital platforms
• Good organisational and self-management skills
• Initiative and the ability to work independently
• An interest in personal and professional development
• Curiosity about alternative ways of applying your existing experience

What You'll Have Access To

This independent contractor opportunity includes:

• Remote working
• Flexibility around when you work (part-time or full-time)
• Structured onboarding
• Training and professional development
• Established systems and resources
• Ongoing mentoring and support
• A community of professionals committed to learning and growth

Compensation is performance-based and linked to individual results. This is not a salaried employment position.

Please Read Before Applying

• This is an independent contractor opportunity, not a traditional teaching, training or employee position.
• The role may suit someone who is already working professionally and is interested in exploring an additional or alternative professional pathway.
• It is not intended for students or recent graduates.
• Applicants must be legally authorised to work in the United States or Canada.

What If Your Experience Isn't The Limitation?

You've spent years developing other people's confidence, capability and potential. You've helped people learn new things. You've encouraged them to think differently. You've probably told someone else that their experience is valuable.

Maybe it's time to ask yourself the same question.
What else could you do with everything you've already learned?

If you're curious about exploring a different professional pathway, we'd love to start a conversation.
