Launched in April of 2014, WebinarNinja has set out to allow digital educators (coaches, trainers, consultants) and creators (course creators and independent business owners) a way to easily create engaging webinars to share their expertise with the world.

Our USP has been a friendly, easy-to-use interface and a fun and personable brand. We make it easy for our educators and creators to get up and running quickly so they and their attendees can focus on content and enjoy the webinar experience.

We help businesses in every niches and today, over a million people attended a WebinarNinja webinar.

WebinarNinja has been self-funded and profitable from day one. We only answer to the needs of our team, collective vision and users.

WebinarNinja has been doing the remote thing since 2014 - well before the world knew what "flexible work" meant.
 
We strive to give each team member an unmatched level of job satisfaction. We offer a healthy level of autonomy while providing consistent communication so expectations are met and you get the support you need. We believe in learning from each other and fostering personal growth. You can expect to learn a lot while working with us.

As a remote team, we've managed to foster a culture of communication and transparency everyday.

When travel is uninterrupted by global events, we take a break from remote work with an annual, in-person team retreat. In 2019 we spent a week in Ubud, Bali working and playing together- taking in the culture, food and fun.

But the biggest reason why you would love working at WebinarNinja is that we create cool stuff that makes a significant impact on the businesses we serve, everyday.

We are an equal opportunity employer and are committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion and a sustainable future.
