About Kiddom
Kiddom is transforming K–12 education by bringing high-quality curriculum, instructional tools, and student analytics together in one coherent system. We are building Learning Intelligence Technology (LIT), a new category that gives educators the infrastructure to plan, teach, assess, and respond to student needs. With Kiddom, educators spend less time managing administrative burden and more time delivering meaningful student instruction. Kiddom helps schools and districts deliver more equitable, effective, and adaptive learning experiences.
ELA Content Manager, Curriculum Team · Reports to the Head of Curriculum Experience
The ELA Content Manager owns the quality of Kiddom's ELA programs, built on an OER Language Arts curriculum, across digital, lesson presentations, and print. You will adapt and extend the curriculum for state editions and adoptions, build supports for multilingual learners, keep courses accurate and current, and direct the contractors and vendors who help us work at scale. You will also define the AI-assisted workflows that let a small team produce and review more high-quality ELA content, faster, without lowering the bar.
The people who thrive here are self-starters who like owning outcomes. You will partner closely with Product, Design, and Engineering, and you will work directly with our curriculum partners.
Adapt ELA content for state editions and adoptions, including standards extraction and crosswalks, alignment guides, content modifications, and the evidence that state reviewers, EdReports, and RFPs require
Own the instructional integrity of each program across digital, lesson presentations, and print, including book maps, tables of contents, teacher and student book structure, and review of vendor proofs
Create integrated and designated ELD supports at all three proficiency levels (Emerging, Expanding, and Bridging), aligned to the California ELD Standards and other state frameworks, along with supports for students with diverse needs

Author and edit supplemental resources aligned to existing curriculum, including reading, writing, language, and foundational skills supports

Join customer calls with Product Managers and bring classroom insight into product decisions.
Manage your projects in Jira, keep project briefs and timelines current, and report progress, risks, and changes on a regular cadence
