ABOUT THE ROLE

The ELA Content Product 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.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

• Keep live courses accurate: triage customer support tickets, fix broken links and media, run course QA with Kiddom's QA tools, and request republishes
• Serve as the day-to-day content contact with our curriculum partner on content: log errata and adoption queries, track file deliveries, and coordinate content changes that require partner approval.
• Scope, brief, assign, and review work for contractors and vendors (for example, file extraction, slide production, and QA), estimate hours, and track progress against budget
• Define, prototype, and run AI-assisted workflows, including Claude skills, scripts, and multi-step pipelines, for standards extraction and crosswalks, ELD support generation, slide production, content extraction from source files, and QA triage, with human review built in where accuracy matters most
• Author and edit ELA lessons, interactive question types, and lesson presentations directly in the Ki
