We’re seeking an Education Manager with recent, hands-on K–12 classroom or school-based experience who is excited to bring their educator expertise into a broader impact role outside of the traditional classroom. This position is ideal for a current or former teacher, who deeply understands the realities educators face and is passionate about the creation of meaningful, practical educational resources and programs that truly support schools and students. 

The Education Manager will lead and support the planning, development, coordination, and implementation of educational content and learning experiences across multiple platforms. The ideal candidate is highly organized, collaborative, detail-oriented, and able to balance big-picture educational goals with strong project execution. This role requires someone who can support the translation of classroom experience into high-quality educator-facing materials by managing timelines, communication, logistics, and cross-functional collaboration with consistency and care. 

We are looking for someone who brings both an educator mindset and strong operational skills — someone who understands instruction, curriculum, and teacher needs firsthand, and who is eager to apply that experience in a mission-driven organization focused on educational impact.

• Minimum of 5 years of experience in K–12 education (teaching, instructional coaching, administration, or similar)  
• Experience supporting content development, program coordination, or educational resource production 
• Strong understanding of K–12 curriculum standards, instructional practices, and school environments; science or STEM expertise preferred 
• Exceptional attention to detail and strong organizational skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines
