📋 Description

• Pioneer Core Curriculum Strategy & Development Process • Redesign DE's core curriculum product development workflow from a writer-centric waterfall model into a modular, AI-assisted production pipeline that ships faster, localizes easily, scales elegantly, and maintains high editorial quality • Define and own the curriculum architecture that underpins DE's K-12 core products across Science and Social Studies - ensuring coherence, standards alignment, and pedagogical integrity at scale • Set and deliver on the instructional vision for curriculum that drives student engagement and outcomes • Lead AI-Enabled Curriculum Production • Develop high-quality, flexible digital curriculum that balances content coverage, customer needs, and the realities of the modern classroom, recommending instructional solutions that represent innovation and ease of implementation • Drive the integration of generative AI into every phase of curriculum development: ideation, drafting, standards tagging, differentiation, localization, and QA • Partner with DE's engineering and data teams to build or buy AI tooling that meaningfully reduces cost-per-asset and time-to-publish without compromising quality • Define DE's human-in-the-loop model - where AI accelerates and where expert human judgment is non-negotiable • Orchestrate a High-Performance Team and Vendor Ecosystem • Lead a cross-functional pod of instructional designers, subject matter experts, product managers, engineers, and designers - setting direction, priorities, and quality standards for the team's collective work. • Shift DE's vendor model from transactional outsourcing to strategic co-production: identify, qualify, and manage a network of specialized content and instructional design partners • Build the governance frameworks, SLAs, and quality systems that let DE scale core content production through partners without losing editorial control • Actively evaluate and onboard new vendor capabilities - including AI-native content studios, specialist SMEs, and offshore production teams - to keep DE's cost structure competitive • Own vendor performance, including delivery schedules and quality of outputs • Cross-Functional Collaboration • Serve as the core curriculum authority within DE's integrated product teams - a genuine thought partner to product management, engineering, and design, not just a curriculum supplier • Translate district needs, market signals, and research into content strategy decisions, product roadmap inputs, and curriculum refresh priorities • Collaborate with the Assessment and Research teams to close the loop between curriculum development and measurable learning outcomes • Represent DE's instructional vision externally: with district partners, at conferences, and in the market
