Curriculum Associates

Learning and Development Program Manager, Science & Stile Platform

US OR Remote Full time

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.

💡 What You’ll Do
  • Lead the learning vision: Be the go-to expert for all learning and development tied to science curriculum and our powerful teaching and learning platform (we call it Stile).
  • Design with impact: Transform stakeholder needs into engaging, learner-focused content and resources that help teams deliver better experiences for educators.
  • Champion the Stile platform: Develop training that equips internal teams to confidently use and support the platform.
  • Collaborate across teams: Work hand-in-hand with Product Development, Marketing, and Program Managers to align learning content with broader goals.
  • Deliver and inspire: Facilitate training sessions — both planned and spontaneous — that build capability and confidence across teams.
  • Own the knowledge: Manage and continuously improve internal learning resources, ensuring they’re current, inclusive, and actionable.
  • Drive excellence: Oversee timelines, ensure quality, and continuously refine based on feedback and accessibility best practices.

🧠 What You Bring
  • Instructional design mastery: You can turn complex learning needs into engaging, effective training experiences.
  • Science education expertise: A strong foundation in science education and curriculum design — especially for middle school learners.
  • Digital learning know-how: Familiarity with modern learning platforms (bonus points if you know Stile!) and an understanding of diverse learning types.
  • Collaboration superpowers: You’re skilled at synthesizing input from many voices and aligning around a shared goal.
  • Organization & execution: You can juggle multiple initiatives, manage timelines, and deliver high-quality outcomes consistently.
  • Training & facilitation skills: You’re confident leading sessions that energize and upskill teams.
  • Knowledge management experience: You know how to create systems and resources that keep teams informed and empowered.
  • Inclusive mindset: You care deeply about accessibility, inclusivity, and creating content that reaches everyone.

🎯 Your Background
  • Deep understanding of learning experience design and how to craft training that sticks.
  • Knowledge of middle school science curriculum needs.
  • Experience with digital learning platforms or technology-driven education tools.

💜 Why You’ll Love Working Here
  • 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.
  • Comprehensive benefits:
    • Medical, dental, vision, and life insurance
    • 401(k) plan with employer match
    • Flexible vacation and sick policy
    • 12 paid holidays + winter office closure
