• Manage small to large scale content development projects and, as needed, vendors sourced for asset development.
• Challenge the team to identify, experiment and implement new and innovative learning approaches, tools, and systems that help us scale.

To succeed in the role, the ideal candidate will need a unique blend of (a) passion for helping individuals from historically excluded populations transition into software engineering careers, (b) fluency with adult learning principles and best practices for technical curriculum development, and (c) a willingness to create curricular resources that are technical in nature.
