Lead Specialist, Content Developer (Maths)
Hybrid
United Kingdom
Are you ready to shape the future of maths education?
This is a rare opportunity to play a leading role in the development of the UK's
next generation of mathematics qualifications. Joining Pearson's market-leading
Maths Qualifications team, you'll be at the centre of major qualification
reform, helping to influence how maths is taught, assessed and experienced by
learners for years to come.
We're looking for an experienced qualification development professional to lead
high-profile projects across research, design, development and delivery. Working
with experts across education, assessment, policy and regulation, you'll help
ensure our qualifications continue to meet the evolving needs of teachers,
learners and the wider education sector.
Location & Ways of Working
This is a hybrid role and can be based from one of Pearson's UK office
locations. Whilst there is flexibility around where you are based, regular
travel (UK) will be required, particularly to London, as qualification reform
activity ramps up. Candidates should be comfortable travelling a few times per
month to collaborate with colleagues, stakeholders and project teams.
What you'll be doing
• Leading the development and delivery of major qualification development and
reform projects.
• Using customer insight, market research and educational trends to shape
future qualifications.
• Designing and redeveloping specifications, assessment materials and
qualification documentation.
• Collaborating with colleagues across product, assessment, research, policy,
operations and marketing teams.
• Building strong relationships with subject experts, customers and regulatory
stakeholders.
• Providing leadership and guidance to colleagues, supporting the development
of less experienced team members.
• Contributing to the strategic direction of Pearson's maths qualifications
portfolio.
What we're looking for
You'll be an experienced education professional with a strong track record in
qualification, curriculum or assessment development.
We're particularly interested in candidates who can demonstrate:
• Experience developing qualifications, assessments or curricula within
education.
• Confidence leading complex projects and managing multiple priorities.
• Strong understanding of working within a regulated environment.
• The ability to influence, collaborate and build relationships across diverse
stakeholder groups.
• Experience gathering and applying customer insight to inform
decision-making.
• Excellent organisational skills and the ability to work independently while
delivering high-quality outcomes.
Experience working with maths qualifications is desirable, although we would
welcome applications from candidates with experience in other closely related
subject areas.
Why join us?
Opportunities to work on qualification reform are rare. This role offers the
chance to influence nationally significant qualifications at a pivotal moment
for education. You'll join a team that is passionate about delivering
outstanding outcomes for teachers and learners, while working on projects that
have real impact across the UK education system.
If you're looking for a role where you can combine educational expertise,
strategic thinking and leadership to shape the future of maths education, we'd
love to hear from you.
Apply now and help shape what's next for maths qualifications.
