About the role
The Senior Manager of Curriculum reports to the Director of Curriculum and builds project-based, AI-forward curricula that inspires girls, female-identifying, and non-binary students to become changemakers in tech. Specifically, they will play a critical role in a new strategic project to develop and scale direct-to-student learning experiences that build critical thinking skills alongside technical ones, center social and community learning, and prepare young people for careers in tech and tech-adjacent fields. They will also own a smaller portfolio of existing programmatic curriculum and manage a team of consultants and/or part time staff.
The ideal candidate has at least six (6) years of professional experience and proven success in developing standards-aligned, responsive STE(A)M or CS curriculum for a wide range of middle and/or high school students. This is a role for an educator with managerial experience, a highly creative curriculum builder with strong editorial instincts. They can joyfully and fluidly move between creating, supervising and collaborating, demonstrating skills to scope a project with precision, sequence complex material for different age groups, make confident decisions about what belongs and what doesn't, and communicate with care and clarity.
