Learning and Development Program Manager, Science & Stile Platform

At Curriculum Associates, we believe in the potential of every child and are changing the face of education technology with award-winning learning programs like i-Ready that serve a third of the nation’s K–8 students. For more than 50 years, our commitment to making classrooms better places, serving educators, and supporting accessible learning experiences for all students has driven the continuous improvement of our innovative programs. Our team of more than 2,500 employees is composed of lifelong learners who stand behind this mission, working tirelessly to serve the educational community with world-class programs and support every day.

We recently added science to our suite of classroom products and we’re scaling up. Fast. But we need your help -- as our Learning & Development Program Manager for science, you’ll lead the charge in designing, building, and delivering exceptional learning experiences for the organization. You’ll be the bridge between brilliant educators, product innovators, and the teams who bring science to life — turning complex ideas into clear, impactful training and resources that empower educator-facing teams. (And no, to be clear, we’re not building a boring bank of articles that will fade away into obsolescence.)

Your work with internal teams impacts every teacher, trainer, and teammate, so they understand not just how our science products work, but why it matters.

• Experience with digital learning platforms or technology-driven education tools.

• Purpose-driven mission: You’ll directly impact how teachers and students experience science education worldwide.
• Collaborative culture: Work with a passionate team of educators, engineers, and innovators who genuinely care about doing good work.
• Professional growth: Training budgets, mentorship, and clear pathways to grow your skills and career.
• Flexibility & balance: Flexible hours, generous leave, and real respect for work-life balance.
