Job Description

Company Description Chess Nomad is a vibrant and welcoming community for chess educators. Through innovative teaching methods, such as mini-games, we aim to make chess education accessible, engaging, and transformative. Our mission is to use chess as a tool to teach critical life skills, encourage creative thinking, and promote self-discovery. With a presence in roadschool communities, Chess Nomad is shaping the future of education by integrating chess concepts into diverse learning experiences. Chess Nomad is built on a simple idea: strong learning environments grow when educators are trusted, supported, and given room to experiment. Chess Nomad focuses on training educators rather than scaling classrooms. Instead of rigid curricula or top-down expansion, it uses chess as a practical thinking tool to help adults develop judgment, adaptability, and confidence in their teaching. The model is intentionally flexible-educators can experiment, refine their approach, and decide how deeply they want to engage over time. The work centers on helping educators think clearly, adapt confidently, and use chess as a tool to teach broader skills such as decision-making, pattern recognition, and reflection. Role Description You'll support educators by modeling flexible teaching approaches, collaborating with community members and influencers, and fostering open, constructive communication. While there may be occasional opportunities for informal role play or open play sessions with children, the core responsibility is training and supporting adults. Some educators may want to explore the work gradually through limited sessions, while others may choose a deeper level of involvement, including contributing to program development or business growth. Guidance is available for those who want it, without pressure to follow a predefined path. Chess Nomad is still evolving, and this role reflects that. The goal isn't rapid expansion or standardization-it's to grow thoughtfully by empowering educators, strengthening local learning communities, and allowing the model to develop in response to real-world use. Qualifications
  • Experience in Education, Teaching, and Training with a passion for creative learning methodologies
  • Strong Communication and presentation skills to engage with students, educators, and community members
  • Proficiency in Customer Service to provide support and foster positive relationships with participants and partners
  • Familiarity with chess rules and strategies is not preferred; just a genuine enthusiasm for learning
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a hybrid work environment
  • A background in education, learning design, or a related field is preferred
