[Hiring] Lead Curriculum Designer @Contour Education

Role Description

This is a remote position.

Lead Curriculum Designer (Math and English), India Remote (India) | Full-Time

Do you want to own how thousands of students experience maths and english, not just write the questions, but set the style, structure, and standard that every booklet is built to?

In a typical week you might:

• Design the format and framework for a new booklet series.
• Write and refine worked solutions that read like a great tutor talking a student through it.
• Set the content standard the rest of the team builds from.

You own the creation and the standard of Contour's maths and english content. You create original, high-quality content for booklets, assessments, and learning resources, and you set the style, structure, and format that future resources follow. This is a hands-on builder and owner role, not editing or copy-paste: you define question types, set frameworks, and build the scalable processes that content is produced through.

You report into Contour's onshore academic team in Australia and work alongside our existing India content team, aligning what you build with the learning objectives and curriculum requirements they set. You own accuracy, clarity, and consistency across resources, and you set the standard the rest of the team works to.

The bar that separates a strong hire is subject mastery paired with a designer's eye. You understand maths and english deeply enough to make a hard idea simple, and you care as much about how a resource is structured and presented as about whether the answer is correct.

By the end of your first three months, you have:

• Produced original booklet or assessment material to a standard the team adopts.
• Defined the style and format for a resource type.
• Set frameworks others build from.

Qualifications

• A bachelor's or master's degree in English, mathematics, or a related field.
• Strong command of maths and english content, enough to make a hard concept simple.
• A designer's eye for structure: you care how a resource is organized and presented, not only whether it is correct.
• Excellent written communication and sharp attention to detail.
• The ability to work independently, own projects end to end, and set a standard others follow.
• Cross-timezone comfort, with overlap into Australian time.

Requirements

• Experience in academic content development: booklets, assessments, or worked solutions.
• Experience defining content style, frameworks, or curriculum structure.
• Familiarity with international curricula such as VCE, or with edtech environments.

Benefits

• Fully remote, anywhere in India.
• Your day runs on India hours with overlap into Australian business time.
• Compensation is competitive and benchmarked to the role and your experience.
• We discuss it openly early in the process.
