• Act as a mentor, providing valuable advice on accounting career paths and further education opportunities.
• Collaborate with the Programme Administrator and SME Lecturers to create interdisciplinary learning experiences.
• Stay current with the latest accounting standards, practices, and educational technologies.

What We're Looking For (Qualifications & Skills):

Required:

• A Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field OR a professional certification (e.g., CPA, CMA, ACCA).
• Proven experience teaching or training at a high school, college, or corporate level.
• Strong foundational knowledge of accounting principles, particularly the Accounts Payable and Procure-to-Pay cycles.
• Excellent communication, presentation, and public speaking skills.
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (advanced Excel skills are a plus) and familiarity with educational technology.
• A mentoring mindset with the ability to adapt content for learners of varying skill levels.

Preferred (Assets):

• Corporate accounting experience is a significant advantage.
• Published research or articles in the field of accounting.
• Teaching certification or licensure.
• Strong understanding of current accounting software platforms.
