You will scale content to ensure our learners receive sufficient practice for skill mastery. You won’t be working in isolation; you’ll be working closely with other members of the content team.


Our content team includes content creators from around the world who make our videos, articles, and practice questions. Today, our courses include nearly every math topic from K-14, science and humanities content covering high school and early college, test prep for several national exams, and much more! In the years ahead, we want to double down on making our courses great in classrooms and help push online education to the next level.


WHAT YOU'LL DO



* Work with the content team to expand our Financial Literacy course by leveraging market research, your subject matter expertise, and your intuition for learner needs

* Create and curate high-quality content on schedule, designing and developing new standards-aligned exercises and articles, leveraging pre-existing resources from Khan Academy and third parties

* Learn and use our content management system to improve existing courses and build new courses






WHAT YOU BRING



* Proven ability to create high-impact learning content in your discipline (minimum of 2 years of content development experience in Financial Literacy)

* Strong intuition for how students like to learn and insight into common misconceptions (minimum of 2 years of relevant teaching/tutoring experience)

* Experience and aptitude working with appropriate standards sets to ensure coverage and alignment during course development and curation

* Desire to teach at scale, engage with a broad array of learners, and question your assumptions about what's most important for learners

* Desire to leverage online tools to publish quickly, gather user feedback, and iterate on content

* Impeccable command of written communication; an energetic can-do attitude as a fluent and efficient content creator, a keen editorial eye for high-quality text in exercises and articles, and a knack for empowering, supportive peer review.

* Meticulous attention to detail and time management skills

* Project management skills (e.g. fluent with Google docs and spreadsheets and other tools) and a willingness to learn new tools

* A passion for education and a desire to change the world






NICE TO HAVE



* Classroom teaching experience

* Experience in personal finance or personal banking

* Experience working with Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) standard sets

Live & breathe learners


We deeply understand and empathize with our users. We leverage user insights, research, and experience to build content, products, services, and experiences that our users trust and love. Our success is defined by the success of our learners and educators.


Take a stand


As a company, we have conviction in our aspirational point of view of how education will evolve. The work we do is in service to moving towards that point of view. However, we also listen, learn and flex in the face of new data, and commit to evolving this point of view as the industry and our users evolve.


Embrace diverse perspectives


We are a diverse community. We seek out and embrace a diversity of voices, perspectives and life experiences leading to stronger, more inclusive teams and better outcomes. As individuals, we are committed to bringing up tough topics and leaning into different points of view with curiosity. We actively listen, learn and collaborate to gain a shared understanding. When a decision is made, we commit to moving forward as a united team.


Work responsibly and sustainably


We understand that achieving our audacious mission is a marathon, so we set realistic timelines and we focus on delivery that also links to the bigger picture. As a non-profit, we are supported by the generosity of donors as well as strategic partners, and understand our responsibility to our finite resources. We spend every dollar as though it were our own. We are responsible for the impact we have on the world and to each other. We ensure our team and company stay healthy and financially sustainable.


Bring out the joy


We are committed to making learning a joyful process. This informs what we build for our users and the culture we co-create with our teammates, partners and donors.


Cultivate learning mindset


We believe in the power of growth for learners and for ourselves. We constantly learn and teach to improve our offerings, ourselves, and our organization. We learn from our mistakes and aren’t afraid to fail. We don't let past failures or successes stop us from taking future bold action and achieving our goals.


Deliver wow


We insist on high standards and deliver delightful, effective end-to-end experiences that our users can rely on. We choose to focus on fewer things — each of which aligns to our ambitious vision — so we can deliver high-quality experiences that accelerate positive measurable learning with our strategic partners.


We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, gender, gender identity or expression, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability, or Veteran status.
