Job Description

Role: Principal Specialist- Curriculum Design & Capacity Building- Vocational Education, Remote

Experience: 12+ years

Salary: Upto 14-16 LPA

About the role:

Organisation work in vocational education is evolving. Alongside our existing focus on secondary and senior secondary grades, we are now beginning an exploratory collaboration with state governments to work with students in Grades 6–8. This work aims to meaningfully integrate government-mandated vocational education with org's Mindsets and Competency Framework.

This is an early-stage experiment focused on discovering synergies between skills and mindsets, and reimagining vocational learning as experiential, contextual, and rooted in real school realities. The role is suited for individuals excited to build something new, work closely with government systems, and shape the direction of a growing initiative in its formative stages.

Roles & Responsibilities:

  • Develop vocational education content for Grades 6–8, in alignment with existing guidelines and frameworks.
  • Translate given objectives, mandates, and pedagogical directions into clear, structured, and age-appropriate learning content.
  • Ensure coherence, progression, and quality across lessons, units, and modules.
  • Follow established processes, templates, and review cycles to ensure consistency and quality of content.
  • Incorporate feedback from internal teams and field pilots to refine and improve content.
  • Support documentation and versioning of curriculum materials as the initiative evolves.

Skills, Experience and Mindsets:

  • 12+ years of relevant experience in curriculum development, academic content design, or education programs within public or large-scale systems.
  • English & Hindi must required language.
  • Relevant experience and skill in designing for vocational education, skill education, career education, or work-readiness programs.
  • Ability to interpret guidelines, objectives, and templates, and make informed decision about translating them into well-structured, age-appropriate learning content.
  • Skilled in applying experiential and activity-based learning approaches in content design.
  • A growth-oriented and learning mindset—open to feedback, adaptable, and comfortable working in an early-stage, evolving initiative.
  • Having worked in a classroom setting for a few years would be an added plus
