Reporting to the Chief Learning Officer, you will be responsible for resources and products that are used by tens of thousands of educators and millions of students all over the world.

You will also work closely with the Chief Learning Officer and colleagues to define and implement the Foundation's approach to teaching and learning.

The ideal candidate will have significant experience of leading the design and development of curriculum resources for young people in either formal or non-formal education. This role has a global remit and you will be developing curriculum resources and learning experiences that are used all over the world; experience of working across multiple markets or cultural contexts will be a distinct advantage.

You will be able to demonstrate a commitment to inclusive design, with experience of applying insights and feedback from users to drive continuous improvement. You will also have a track record of understanding and applying research findings in the development of curriculum resources.

You will lead a highly skilled team and collaborate closely with colleagues from different disciplines, including digital products and professional development. You will also have responsibility for providing professional leadership to some of our learning teams that are embedded in market teams, specifically in India and Kenya.

We are a global organisation and we welcome applications from candidates who are based in the countries in which we can currently employ people (Ireland, India, the UK and US). Candidates need to be available to overlap with core UK office hours (09.00 - 17.00) for at least four hours in their working day, irrespective of the time zone in which they reside. Candidates will also need to be available for regular travel to Cambridge, UK (no more than once per quarter).

We strive to make the Foundation a place where talented people who care about our mission can do the best work of their careers. We have a flexible and collaborative approach to all aspects of our work. If you're the right person for the job, we'll make it work for you, and you can be confident that you'll be working with an exceptional team.
