The Ninja Teacher Team Is Hiring (again)
[EDIT: We currently have all positions at Ninja Teacher filled. Follow us on Facebook for announcements of when we’re hiring again.]
Are you interested in working at a young, passionate teach abroad company based in Ho Chi Minh City Vietnam?
We’re looking for candidates to fill the following positions in the company.
1) Program Advisor
You’ll be one of our go-to people that interacts with potential teachers. The Program Advisor role includes making phone / Skype calls, replying to emails and social media questions in a timely and dependable manner on a daily basis.
You’ll also learn a sophisticated CRM (Customer Relationship Management) software and use it correctly.
You need to believe in what we offer, get people excited about teaching abroad and have great communication skills. If that doesn’t sound like you then it’s probably best if you stop reading here. 🙂
Here’s a video to get a bit more of a sense of what the position involves:
Ground Support
This position also involves being available to give in-person support for our teachers in Ho Chi Minh City.
Regularly meeting up with teachers, being available via messenger apps and email, regularly following up with teachers to see how they’re doing, and organizing events in the city.
Featuring in Videos
You should also be excited to sometimes feature in and participate in the filming of YouTube videos.
You should be comfortable enough being in front of the camera and expressing your personality for our audience to get to know you (or at least be willing to work on it.)
We’ll be capturing day to day life in Vietnam, interviewing teachers and making other lifestyle related videos.
A big reason for being in the videos is so that you’re recognized by our potential customers, and have people get to know and trust you. This means it’s an integral part of being successful in your role as Program Advisor and Ground Support.
Requirements:
We’re looking for someone that’s excited to be part of the team, that sees the value of teaching abroad, that’s excited about helping other people start teaching abroad and wants to help contribute to and grow the teaching English abroad community.
Requirements for the role:
- Have taken an in-person TESOL / TEFL course, preferably the one we offer in Vietnam.
- Some teaching experience in Vietnam.
- Friendly and outgoing.
- Extremely responsive with email and and social media communications.
- Able to speak confidently on the phone and follow a call structure.
- Available for several hours of work per day on weekdays (including early mornings due to making calls with other time zones.)

Salary
Competitive hourly rate for all work done as a Program Advisor and Ground Support. We can potentially work around your schedule if you already have a teaching job as long as you can commit at least 1-3 hours per day on weekdays, and can commit to 10+ hours per week to begin with.
You can gain more weekly hours based on Ninja Teacher’s growth and your performance.
2. Video Editor / Social Media Manager / Videographer
This position is primarily for video editing and managing our social media accounts.
We’re be aiming to put out 2 – 3 YouTube videos per week.
You’ll also assisting with posting micro content to Instagram, Facebook and the website.
This role may also involve assisting with the actual filming of videos and content creation. However, this would be something we’d start off slowly with and you won’t be filming all of the videos as they’re often daily vlog style. So you shouldn’t expect this to be a big part of the position to begin with.
Requirements:
- Proficient at video editing (preferably Adobe Premiere Pro.)
- Own laptop powerful enough to edit 4K footage.
- Understanding of how to create engaging content on all social media platforms.
- Preferably have experience in growing social media channels.
- Cinematography / filming skills a bonus.
Watch the video below to get a sense of what the position covers:
*Please note: Some information in the video below is no longer what we’re looking for, specifically:
1) This is going to be a part time, not a full time position.
2) we’re only planning to put out 2 – 3 videos per week, not every day.
3) You won’t be involved in filming all of the videos – sometimes you’ll be part of the filming process but often it will just be the editing.
4) This position is for someone based in Ho Chi Minh City and isn’t necessarily going to involve traveling around SEAsia. It’s primarily going to be an editing and social media manager position. It will be around 10 hours per week of work to begin with, which may increase based on your ability and if we decide to take on more ambitious content goals.*
