Senior Content Creator, Test Prep and ELA

ABOUT KHAN ACADEMY

Khan Academy is a nonprofit with the mission to deliver a free, world-class education to anyone, anywhere. Our proven learning platform offers free, high-quality supplemental learning content and practice that cover Pre-K – 12th grade and early college core academic subjects, focusing on math and science. We have over 181 million registered learners globally and are committed to improving learning outcomes for students worldwide, focusing on learners in historically under-resourced communities.

OUR COMMUNITY 

Our students, teachers, and parents come from all walks of life, and so do we. Our team includes people from academia, traditional/non-traditional education, big tech companies, and tiny startups. We hire great people from diverse backgrounds and experiences because it makes our company stronger. We value diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging as necessary to achieve our mission and impact the communities we serve. We know that transforming education starts in-house with learning about ourselves and our colleagues. We strive to be world-class in investing in our people and commit to developing you as a professional.

THE ROLE

Our US content team includes the curriculum developers who design the curriculum and develop the courses, lessons, videos, articles, and practice questions on Khan Academy.  Khan Academy’s Test Prep and Humanities courses reach millions of learners each year.

We’re looking for a Senior Content Creator to manage and drive development in the Test Prep domain, specifically focusing on SAT. In this role, you’ll work with the Senior Manager of Humanities and Test Prep to set our short- and long-term strategic vision of Khan’s Test Prep offerings. You’ll hire and collaborate with contractors to implement that vision—through clear definitions of project success, realistic project plans, and efficient processes.

This role requires a collaborative and cross-functional mindset. By co-creating Test Prep offerings alongside Product and Program Managers, Designers, Engineers, and Marketers, you’ll ensure Khan Academy launches cohesive offerings that are engaging and efficacious for our learners. Because we partner with a number of schools, foundations, and organizations, you’ll need to be relationship-driven and comfortable representing Khan Academy’s Test Prep offerings to external audiences.

 

WHAT YOU’LL DO:

  • Expand our test prep offerings (mainly SAT/PSAT Reading and Writing, although we especially welcome applicants with additional experience in P/SAT Math) by leveraging your subject matter expertise and your understanding of learner needs.
  • Expand high school ELA courses aligned to CCSS or other state standards; this work may include development of AP English Language/Literature courses.
  • Develop new passages, standards-aligned exercises, assessment items and articles, leveraging pre-existing resources from Khan Academy and third parties.
  • Conduct in-depth reviews and provide feedback on content drafted by contractors, ensuring all content meets Khan Academy’s rigorous editorial standards.
  • Work cross-functionally with Engineering, Design, Product, Programs, Districts, and Marketing as requested on a range of course-related tasks.
  • Refine systems and processes for test prep content creation and maintenance, leveraging AI to augment and expedite existing workflows.
  • Represent the test prep team in meetings with external test prep partners, including the College Board and others.
  • Learn and use our content management system to expand and improve existing courses.
  • Triage and respond to user feedback and user data in our test prep courses, leveraging the data to direct improvements to the content.

WHAT YOU BRING:

  • 5+ years experience in test prep, including at least 3 years of direct experience with the SAT/PSAT Reading and Writing test and 2 years developing exercise practice content.
  • Proven ability to create high-impact learning content for the new digital SAT.
  • Strong understanding of instructional design and how students like to learn; deep teacher and learner empathy; and insight into common misconceptions.
  • Proven track record of independently driving complex projects end-to-end, including experience giving feedback to other writers/content developers. Ideally, you’ve project managed processes and editorial workflows for content creation and publication, preferably in an online-first, education platform.
  • Strong communication skills and ability to deliver effective, supportive, and inspiring feedback.
  • Desire to engage a broad array of learners and question your assumptions about what’s most important for learners.
  • Desire to leverage tools, including generative AI, to publish quickly, gather user feedback, and iterate on content.
  • An entrepreneurial mindset, including a high tolerance for ambiguity, a penchant for experimentation, and a bias toward action.
  • Impeccable command of written communication and a keen editorial eye for high-quality content.
  • Meticulous attention to detail and time management skills.
  • Project management skills (e.g. fluent with Google Docs and spreadsheets and other tools) and a willingness to learn new tools.
  • A passion for education and a desire to change the world.

NICE TO HAVE:

  • Experience developing test prep content for another test within the digital SAT suite of assessments (including the PSAT 8/9, PSAT 10, and PSAT/NMSQT).
  • Experience developing test prep content for AP English Language and Composition and/or the AP English Literature and Composition.
  • Experience tutoring the new digital SAT Reading and Writing and Math test.
  • An advanced degree in humanities and/or teaching field.
