Somebody has to make sure an online course actually works — that the readings load, the deadlines make sense, and a confused student gets an answer within the hour instead of three days later. That's the job here. We're hiring a fully remote Online Course Administrator to keep our e-learning programs running as they're supposed to.
It's not a glamorous title, but it's a real one. You'll touch almost every part of how a course gets delivered, from the first upload to the final grade report.
What This Job Actually Involves
You're the person holding the LMS together on a daily basis — setting up courses, checking that materials are where they should be, and stepping in the moment something breaks or looks off. The salary is
$90,380 per year, and you can work from anywhere with decent internet.
Day to Day
No two days look identical, but here's roughly what fills your week:
- Building out and configuring courses inside the LMS, then making sure syllabi, readings, and video content are actually accessible to students
- Keeping an eye on course progress and stepping in with fixes when something's not working
- Answering student questions about access or technical hiccups — you're usually their first stop
- Helping instructors set up assessments and sort out grading or feedback tools
- Auditing courses now and then to check they still meet quality and accessibility expectations
- Handling enrollment, scheduling, and the administrative paperwork that comes with both
- Pulling together reports on how courses and students are performing
- Fixing LMS problems yourself where you can, and looping in IT when it's beyond you
- Writing the occasional announcement or newsletter so nobody misses an update
- Jumping into virtual meetings or webinars when they need a hand
What You'll Need to Bring
A
Bachelor's degree is the minimum education requirement. Beyond that, we're looking for at least
3 years of experience in educational administration or something similar — ideally with some exposure to online learning.
You should also be comfortable with:
- LMS platforms like Canvas, Moodle, or Blackboard — you don't need to be an expert on all three, but you shouldn't be starting from zero
- Basic troubleshooting for e-learning tools and digital content
- Managing several things at once without losing track of any of them
- Talking to students and faculty in a way that's clear without being stiff
- Working independently — nobody's going to be checking in on you hourly
Good to Have, Not Required
- A certification in instructional design or e-learning
- Some experience pulling reports or working with basic analytics
- A general sense of where accessibility standards in online education are headed
Benefits
Beyond pay, here's what's on offer:
- Remote work with real flexibility around your daily schedule
- Medical and dental coverage
- PTO that accrues properly and rolls over, plus standard holidays
- Support for professional development — LMS certifications, instructional design courses, that kind of thing
- An annual bonus tied to performance
- Room to grow into senior admin or instructional design roles over time
How the Team Works
It's a small, spread-out team. We lean on Slack more than meetings, and check in weekly rather than daily. People who post this kind of role on Naukri Mitra are sometimes asked what "remote culture" really means in practice — here, it means we trust you to manage your own time and flag issues before they turn into fires, rather than waiting to be told what to do. Instructors treat you as their first line of support, so staying level-headed under a bit of chaos matters more than any single technical skill.
Who Tends to Do Well Here
Honestly, it's people who like fixing small, annoying problems. If a broken upload or a confusing course layout feels like something worth solving rather than something to complain about, you'll probably fit in fine.
Applying
Send us a resume and a short cover letter. Tell us how you'd handle supporting both students and instructors at the same time, especially when a few things feel urgent all at once — that's usually a normal week here, not an exception. We review applications on a rolling basis and reach out directly when someone's background aligns with what we need.
