You bring experience spanning multiple subject areas and grade levels, and are equally comfortable directing digital course production and print/textbook publishing workflows. You have a track record of taking projects from concept to launch across international markets, balancing pedagogical rigor with business and market requirements. You are curious about applying AI-enabled tools to curriculum design and production, and committed to human-in-the-loop workflows that keep learning science and educator judgment at the center. **Key Responsibilities** - Apply and uphold Efekta's curriculum quality framework for K-12 learning content and course design across multiple subject areas and grade bands, and recommend refinements based on production experience. - Lead course-level design and sequencing of coherent, standards-aligned curricula (e.g., Common Core, NGSS, Cambridge, or relevant national/regional frameworks) across disciplines, within approved scope-and-sequence blueprints. - Run the course creation pipeline end to end for both digital course content and print/textbook publishing, including authoring, editorial, and QA workflows, and prepare content for library review and approval. - Direct development of unit plans, performance tasks, assessments, and supporting instructional materials for multiple modalities and diverse learners. - Operate and continuously improve AI-enabled tools and workflows within Efekta's content ecosystem to improve curriculum quality, personalization, and production efficiency, and evaluate and recommend new tools, while maintaining human-in-the-loop oversight. - Lead market-specific adaptation, localization, and testing across multiple markets and countries, adapting for local regulatory, cultural, and procurement requirements, including B2G contexts, and recommend content for final approval. - Provide content, production, and feasibility input to product, sales, and government-relations teams, including for RFP and B2G proposal requirements. -
