[Hiring] Global Curriculum Design Consultant @Generation

Role Description

Global C&I Curriculum Design Consultants will work with Generation Global Curriculum Leads, Design Managers, country program teams, and technical experts to develop content for individual sessions in the bootcamp training. They will be responsible for developing practice-based sessions, including simulations that mimic daily on-the-job situations, role plays, case studies and sessions that introduce technical content in a way that connects it with behavioral skills and mindsets. The Global Curriculum Designer role is a great fit for an instructional designer who loves to learn and experiment and is interested in doing innovative design work for a growing global organization that is taking its work to scale. Designers will work remotely and no relocation is required. Fluency in Spanish, French, Thai, Portuguese or Italian will be highly regarded.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree required, preferably with a master’s degree in instructional design or education curriculum design
• Minimum of 2 years in curriculum design experience
• Experience planning and scripting individual objective-driven lessons
• Experience developing active, practice-based learning experiences (e.g., simulations, role plays, etc.; not lectures and worksheets)
• Comfort with using technology to collaborate (e.g., Googledocs, Zoom video conference, etc.)
• Able to communicate professionally in English and work with colleagues who speak only English
• Consistent, reliable access to the Internet is required

Requirements

• Experience designing for online or blended programs
• Experience designing on a Learning Management System (LMS)

Key Accountabilities & Responsibilities

• Design active learning experiences for each session
• Design practice-based, active learning content for each session (e.g., role plays, simulations, field experiences, etc.)
• Design all supporting materials for each session, including scripted facilitator guides, student handouts, instructor debrief guides for activities, etc. so that, at scale, a typical instructor could deliver the lesson effectively with limited or no additional support
• Design for in-person and online context across multiple sectors (e.g. tech and healthcare) in alignment with our methodology
• Throughout the process, work closely with employer partners and other education partners (e.g., technical training experts) by obtaining feedback and iterating lessons accordingly
• Upload content to LMS and/or making modifications to existing content on LMS
• Track progress via project plans

Mindsets

• Proactive collaborator, willing to propose solutions and ideas to challenges based on expertise, debate their merits, and make final recommendations for lesson design
• Self-reflective and open to frequent feedback from employer and training partners
• Detail oriented (able to produce instructor-ready documents)

Benefits

• Contractors are trained and then assigned to projects on an as-needed basis. There is no fixed contract length; engagement depends on project availability and need.
• This role draws from a bench of trained contractors who support curriculum development. Before each project begins, contractors are contacted to confirm availability for the estimated hours and timeline.
• Weekly hours vary by project: 15–20 hours/week for 1–2 months, 30–40 hours/week for 1–2 months.
