We are looking for someone with a history degree to join our content team. As a keen researcher, you will develop course materials on subjects, including business strategy and planning to help our students achieve professional qualifications.

Astranti is a small but fast-growing online training organisation. We are proud to help thousands of people from around the world to pass their professional qualifications as a stepping stone to success in their careers by producing high-quality study materials for finance, management and business exams.

The demand for our online study notes, mock exams and training videos has grown significantly in recent years, and we are now looking for a new content creator to join our team.

The role will be based in Trowbridge. For an initial period the role will be office-based, then there will be the opportunity to work partially from home.

The successful candidate will be able to write in a clear and focused way that enables our students to understand complex subjects quickly and easily. They will also have great IT skills, a strong eye for detail and will be a team player who is able to stay calm under pressure and delivers on their commitments.
