Creative Instructional Designer

Creative Instructional Designer & School Implementation Lead Location : Remote-first (global time zones) Type:

Full-time, high-ownership role in a fast-growing startup (not a 9–5)

Focus : K12, entrepreneurial mindset, executive function, and AI-related curriculum

Why this role exists We are scaling Kidspreneurship, an entrepreneurial mindset program for K12. We need someone who can design excellent teacher-training lesson plans, deliver engaging training, and support teachers throughout the implementation process across different countries and curricula. If you are a builder, a doer, and a hustler who loves turning ideas into classroom impact, you will feel at home.

What you will do

Design Curriculum Architect modular teacher-training lesson plans (beginner → advanced), including session flows, facilitator guides, slide decks, activities, assessments, and rubrics. Localize content for different school contexts (US/UK/CBSE/IB/IGCSE, etc.) while preserving the core outcomes. Create plug-and-play resource packs: project briefs, AI-assisted rubrics, checklists, reflection templates, classroom posters, and micro-learning videos. Develop content for students. Iterate fast, and improve teacher training regularly.

Training Delivery Run live virtual and on-site teacher trainings (demo lessons, facilitation techniques, classroom management for project-based learning). Coach teachers in entrepreneurial pedagogy (problem-finding, design thinking, creativity, prototyping, pitching, reflection). Model best-practice lessons for K12; record exemplars for our platform.

Implementation & School Success Own school onboarding: timelines, readiness checklists, tech setup, and success criteria. Provide rigorous ongoing support: 1:1 coaching, feedback on student projects, and intervention plans for classes that are behind. Track completion, engagement, and learning outcomes; publish school-level reports with insights and recommendations. Coordinate across time zones; manage a global calendar of trainings, showcases, and review cycles.

Ops & Quality Build SOPs for training, QA rubrics for sessions, and a resource library that teachers actually use. Capture and share best practices; turn field learnings into repeatable playbooks. Partner with Product/Content to prioritize feature and content requests from schools.

You will thrive if you have 3–7+ years in teacher training, instructional design, or school implementation (EdTech, nonprofits, or networks of schools). Demonstrated mastery of K12 curriculum (design thinking, problem-solving, creativity, financial & ethical awareness, pitching, reflection). Strong instructional design chops: backwards design, clear outcomes, formative checks, and authentic assessments. Facilitation experience: you can engage mixed-experience cohorts, handle live Q&A, and model classroom routines. Operational hustle: you’ll juggle multiple schools across time zones and sometimes over the weekends. Data comfort: dashboards, basic analytics, and using insights to improve training and classroom practice.

Nice to have Experience aligning content to IB/ 21st-century skills frameworks. Familiarity with AI-supported assessment and project-based learning at scale. Prior work in a high-growth startup or school network. Ability to run showcase events: student pitch days, exhibitions, and community partnerships.

What we need Creativity in DNA Owner mindset: You spot gaps and fix them without waiting. You listen to classrooms and let real teacher/student needs steer priorities. Remote-first with global coordination; occasional travel for key school launches, showcases, or partner events. Rapid scope growth as we scale across regions. Opportunity to shape a category-defining K12 entrepreneurship program.

Success metrics (first 6–12 months) 90%+ teacher satisfaction (post-training & post-implementation). 85%+ school-level completion of core modules on time. Measurable teacher practice growth (pre/post confidence & observation rubrics). Resource library utilization (downloads and in-class adoption) is trending up month over month. Documented playbooks that reduce onboarding time per school by 25–40%.
