Curriculum Strategy Manager

• Actively experiment with new and emerging modes of content design and development, including AI-assisted authoring, adaptive formats, and novel instructional models.
• Embrace and engage meaningfully with AI tools to accelerate production, enhance quality, and unlock new possibilities in how content is created and delivered.
• Identify, pilot, and scale approaches that challenge conventional curriculum development — willing to try new things, course-correct quickly, and share learnings openly.

• Develop and maintain deep expertise in market dynamics, customer needs, and emerging trends across the disciplines in your portfolio.
• Oversee research and data analysis to inform curriculum plans, content investments, and product priorities.
• Define and uphold standards for instructional excellence — ensuring content delivers meaningful, measurable learning outcomes for students and educators.

• Partner cross-functionally with platform, marketing, and content development colleagues to align curriculum plans with broader organizational goals.
• Engage internal and external stakeholders — including authors, contributors, instructors, and partners — to build relationships that fuel the portfolio's growth.
• Communicate priorities, resource needs, and tradeoffs clearly and proactively, adapting messaging to different audiences across the organization.

• Thrive in a context where systems, tools, and workflows are actively being built and refined — contributing constructively to operational improvements as they emerge.
• Demonstrate exceptional flexibility and problem-solving agility: reframe expectations quickly, pivot when needed, and help the team do the same with clarity and confidence.
• Help establish scalable processes and norms that others can follow as the team and portfolio grow.

We’re looking for someone with:

• 7+ years experience in business and curriculum strategy, instructional design, or content development — ideally in an educational publishing, edtech, or fast-paced content organization.
• Demonstrated ability to work in agile or iterative environments, with a track record of delivering in conditions of change and ambiguity.
• Experience with or strong enthusiasm for AI-powered content and workflow tools.
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills.
• Strong analytical thinking and the ability to use data to inform decisions.

• Familiarity with content development pipelines, CMS or DAM systems, and production workflows.
• Experience in higher education, professional learning, or K-12 publishing.
• Background in launching new content lines or building processes from scratch.

This is an exciting opportunity for someone ready to help define what modern curriculum development looks like — and to build genuinely new processes and products leading a team that's motivated to move fast and do great work.
