Curriculum Designer at Foundation Supportworks, Inc. in Papillion, Nebraska

Job Description:

Are you someone who loves designing engaging educational content? Are you a passionate self-starter who can juggle concurrent projects in a fast-paced environment, is detail-oriented, and contributes to conceptual discussions and decisions? Supportworks Inc. is looking for an experienced Curriculum Designer who is ready to jump in and help our growing company develop trainings and administer educational materials to our contractor network.

What we do:

Supportworks comprises a family of distinct companies that share a single purpose: to redefine the contractor industry. We primarily develop, manufacture, and distribute foundation and concrete repair products to a network of home repair contractors across North America and beyond. We also have a new brand in our portfolio, Hello Garage, a franchise system in the garage renovation space.

At Supportworks, we champion the success of our contractors and franchisees through genuine relationships and provide radical support in the form of proprietary consulting for marketing, sales, service, customer care, accounting, production, and human resources.

How we do it: The HOW is just as important as the WHAT.

We bestow the gift of high expectations. When we assess ourselves, it is not only about "what" our performance is, but "how" we are going about our work, our interactions with other employees and the way we carry ourselves every day.

We put the good of the team above ourselves, working together as one company, supporting and helping each other to redefine our industry. We are sincere and trust each other's intentions, listening attentively, speaking candidly, and treating each other with respect. We have a bias for action and a scrappy way of getting things done - we self-start, take risks, and root others on in doing the same. And we are vulnerable and authentic; we don't pretend to be who we aren't. We understand that no job is beneath us.
