About This Opportunity

We are representing a confidential education technology organization that is transforming how computer science students develop industry-ready technical skills. Our client works at the intersection of higher education and workforce development, serving tens of thousands of students annually through partnerships with universities and leading technology employers.

We're seeking a Senior Director of Curriculum to lead the vision, strategy, and execution of a comprehensive technical curriculum portfolio. This is a senior leadership role reporting to the Chief Product Officer, with responsibility for defining how students transition from academic computer science programs to becoming AI-native software engineers ready for the modern workforce.

Responsibilities

You will own curriculum strategy and portfolio management across multiple delivery models, including university partnerships, direct-to-student programs, and employer-focused upskilling. Your key responsibilities include:

• Lead long-term curriculum strategy and drive the transition to a modular, flexible architecture that supports AI-native skills, rapid iteration, and multiple delivery formats
• Own the curriculum product roadmap with 12-month visibility into new courses, major revisions, and portfolio investments across Web Development, Mobile Development, Cybersecurity, Technical Interview Prep, and AI-native offerings
• Design and launch new courses aligned to emerging industry needs, particularly in AI-native engineering and applied AI workflows
• Oversee ongoing maintenance and improvement of existing courses to ensure relevance, rigor, and measurable student impact
• Build and manage a high-performing curriculum team, including full-time staff and external contractors

• Partner closely with Learning, Engineering, Platform, Revenue, and Employer Partnerships teams to ensure courses remain rigorous, engaging, and aligned to rapidly evolving industry needs
• Represent the organization externally with university partners, employers, funders, and at industry events

Success in the first 12-18 months includes establishing a clear modular curriculum architecture, refreshing the majority of the existing course catalog, launching 2-3 new AI-focused courses with strong student outcomes, and building a scalable curriculum function capable of supporting continued organizational growth.
