Lead Specialist, Content Developer (Maths)
Hybrid
United Kingdom
Are you ready to shape the future of maths education?
This is a rare opportunity to play a leading role in the development of the UK's next generation of mathematics qualifications. Joining Pearson's market-leading Maths Qualifications team, you'll be at the centre of major qualification reform, helping to influence how maths is taught, assessed and experienced by learners for years to come.
We're looking for an experienced qualification development professional to lead high-profile projects across research, design, development and delivery. Working with experts across education, assessment, policy and regulation, you'll help ensure our qualifications continue to meet the evolving needs of teachers, learners and the wider education sector.
Location & Ways of Working
This is a hybrid role and can be based from one of Pearson's UK office locations. Whilst there is flexibility around where you are based, regular travel (UK) will be required, particularly to London, as qualification reform activity ramps up. Candidates should be comfortable travelling a few times per month to collaborate with colleagues, stakeholders and project teams.
