As Content Manager (US) you will help to create and deliver Education and Assessment products and solutions which will meet US customer needs that both engage pupils and help teachers to teach more effectively. The Content Manager (US) will have a varied role where you'll have the chance to manage the delivery of US versions and adaptations, updates, and supplementary material to meet US customer needs; you will work with the product management team and the US sales team to define the product in detail, with timelines and costs, and commission new content from writers. You will also help to map the content to US state and district curricula as required, and ensure that the content works effectively on the required technology platform.
