Hello!

We are hiring Fulltime Senior Instructional Designers for our Bangalore location (Hybrid, interested to work in the US overlapping shift of 1 - 10 PM)

Summary Description

The Manager Learning Designer, Core Math is a people and process leader responsible for overseeing math content development work executed by Imagine Learning's India-based teams and global partners. This role serves as a critical extension of the U.S.-based Learning Design team, ensuring that well-defined, systematized content workflows are executed with consistency, quality, and instructional integrity.

This role focuses on managing teams, maintaining quality standards, supporting professional growth, and acting as a key communication bridge between India-based teams and U.S.-based stakeholders.

Essential Job Functions

• Lead and manage India-based content development teams supporting our client's Core Math products, with responsibility for delivery, quality, and continuous improvement.

• Oversee execution of systematized content development work (e.g., practice sets, assessment items, digitization, print and digital production tasks) based on established guidelines and learning architectures.

• Serve as a primary owner of content quality for work produced by India-based teams and global partners, ensuring alignment to instructional intent, usability standards.

• Build and maintain quality-control processes, review cycles, and feedback loops to ensure consistently high-quality outputs.

• Support professional growth, coaching, and upskilling of team members and team leads, particularly in curriculum development practices, digital authoring systems, and quality standards.

• Partner closely with U.S.-based Learning Architects, Product, Design, and Project Management teams to understand priorities, requirements, risks, and dependencies.

• Participate in cross-functional planning conversations (e.g., requirements discussions, publication planning, and risk reviews) to represent the needs and capacity of India based teams.

• Identify blockers, risks, and gaps in information or tooling, and proactively work with stakeholders to resolve them.

• Support execution across both digital and print workflows, including familiarity with learning management systems, digital content authoring tools, and print production processes.

• Help onboard new workflows, tools, or platforms by translating requirements into clear guidance and supporting team adoption.

• Maintain effective communication across time zones, with working-hour overlap to support real-time collaboration with U.S.-based partners.

• Contribute to the long-term strategy of building a scalable, internal global content development capability for Core Math.

Qualifications and Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Education, Curriculum & Instruction, Mathematics, Learning Sciences, or a related field; or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

• 5+ years of experience in curriculum development, instructional design, or educational content production, preferably within complex or large-scale systems.

• Prior experience managing or mentoring teams, including responsibility for quality, delivery, and professional development.

Technical Skills

• Working knowledge of U.S. K–12 math curriculum, pedagogy, and standards (e.g., Common Core or similar frameworks), with an understanding of problem-based instructional approaches.

• Experience executing curriculum or assessment development at scale, particularly where work is distributed across teams or vendors.

• Familiarity with digital content authoring systems, learning management systems, or assessment platforms; ability to transfer and generalize skills across tools. • Exposure to print production workflows and design collaboration (e.g., InDesign or similar tools) is a plus, with emphasis on understanding processes rather than deep technical execution.

• Strong systems and workflow thinking, with the ability to understand how individual content tasks fit into larger instructional and product ecosystems.

Competencies

• Excellent communication skills, with demonstrated ability to collaborate cross functionally and across time zones.

• Highly organized, adaptable, and comfortable managing multiple priorities in evolving environments.

• A coaching-oriented leadership style, with a focus on building capability, accountability, and shared quality ownership.
