Company description

Bocconi University has become an international reference point for research and teaching in the world. However, it is not only a world‑leading institution, but also a fast‑paced international company based on values such as merit, honesty and commitment to quality. To keep up with the constant evolution and innovation, Bocconi staff must be able to face challenges and quickly adapt services to increasingly high standards.

Job Opportunity

We are looking for two Educational Technologists to join the Bocconi University Innovation in Learning and Teaching (BUILT) team, supporting the Academic Services Unit within the PNRR project Digital Education Hub – Higher Education (Mission 4 “Education and Research”, Component 1 “Enhancing the offer of education services”, Investment 3.4 “University teaching and advanced skills”, Sub‑Investment 3 “Digital Education Hubs (DEH)”, funded by the European Union – Next Generation EU, CUP D43C23004530005).

The project aims to offer high-quality digital education to university students and workers across the country, overcoming barriers related to location, social, family, or work conditions, while promoting the culture of lifelong learning.

This objective is pursued through online and blended strategies, based on micro‑credentials, fostering the development of inter‑university pathways and the academic recognition of online courses.

Focus on advanced digital skills with transdisciplinary perspectives:

In line with the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), the project focuses on promoting and strengthening advanced digital skills (data management, interpretation, communication, artificial intelligence, digital sustainability, etc.) and their integration with economic, social, and creative fields. The initiative involves collaboration with AFAM institutions and private‑sector partners to identify the most relevant training needs.

The transversal importance of digital skills will enable the enhancement of over 200 study programmes, stimulating the dissemination of innovative teaching processes.

Responsibilities

• Create professional AI‑generated videos using Synthesia (digital avatars, synthetic voice‑overs, animated templates, multilingual scripts).
• Develop automated video production workflows by integrating APIs, scripts, and content pipelines.
• Manage content localisation and personalisation (e.g., automatic translations, lip‑sync, cultural adaptation).

Requirements

• Degree related to training and education.
• Advanced experience with Synthesia (template creation, custom avatars, API integration, batch video generation).
• Proficiency with related tools such as HeyGen, D‑ID, Runway, Descript, Rephrase.ai, Adobe Premiere / After Effects (basic), CapCut Pro, ElevenLabs.
• Knowledge of generative AI (video models, text‑to‑speech, text‑to‑avatar, content‑focused LLMs).
• Ability to script or automate workflows (Python or JavaScript, API / REST integration).
• Familiarity with content management systems (LMS, DAM, CMS) and multilingual content pipelines.
• Strong understanding of UI / UX, brand guidelines, and basic motion graphics.
• Fluency in Italian and English.

What we offer

A collaboration contract, starting from January 2026 until the end of the project (June 30, 2026).
