- Help perform content production tasks and facilitate the migration of content, both written and visual, between our platforms and tools
- Report and resolve discrepancies where documentation is incomplete or unavailable
- Working in and navigate our ecosystem of project management and curriculum development tools as well as our production workflows; provide coordination support
- Build assessment questions in our auto-grading, curriculum-building, and rubric tools
- Provide quality assurance support, which includes a comprehensive review of how content is rendered within the student learning environment(s) to ensure all components of the curriculum behave as expected
- Occasionally format code scripts or work with HTML, Markdown, or another programming language

- Experience working with project management software, like Jira
- Experience writing or editing curricula, trainings, e-learning content, or instructional design materials
