ABOUT HEALTHY LEARNERS Healthy Learners is an award-winning non-profit organization working to improve the health and learning of children across Zambia. We do this by making schools a reliable access point for healthcare—bringing essential services closer to where children learn and live. In partnership with the Government of Zambia, we’ve built a nationally scaling, government-led model that aligns with public systems and priorities. Our work strengthens collaboration between the Ministries of Health and Education and serves as a platform for delivering evidence-based programs that link schools to the broader health system. Health education is at the heart of this model. Translating evidence into practical behaviors that keep children healthy and learning. We now seek a leader who can turn cutting-edge research, policy, and field insights into powerful, scalable content that works for teachers, administrators, Health Captains, and learners. Today, we operate in 720 schools across all ten provinces, reaching over 1.1 million learners. We are proud recipients of the Skoll Award for Social Innovation, the Duke F.M. Kirby Prize, and the Lipman Family Prize from the University of Pennsylvani —recognition of the impact and promise of our work. ABOUT YOU We’re looking for an experienced content systems leader who brings deep technical expertise in curriculum design, understands how to scale content, and thrives in cross-sectoral environments involving government and large-scale implementation. You are someone who blends strategic thinking with practical execution—able to connect the dots across research, policy, and implementation, and translate that into content that works at scale. You lead with a mindset that is: Humble – You listen well, ask thoughtful questions, and take feedback seriously. You value the work more than the spotlight and bring a mindset of growth and curiosity. You know how to work across teams, incorporate input, and keep learners at the center. Hungry – You’re driven, focused, and energized by the chance to build content and solve problems. You raise the bar, look for ways to make our work better and faster, and move ideas from concept to execution. You care about quality, but you also care about getting things done on time. Smart – You build trust quickly, know how to read a room, and create space for others to contribute. You know how to lead a small team effectively while collaborating across a larger one. POSITION OVERVIEW This is a unique opportunity to help build and strengthen a nationally scaling school health program in Zambia—one that already reaches over a million learners and is designed for long-term government ownership, with the potential for adaptation in other countries over time. As Head of Content Development, you will be the architect and conductor of Healthy Learners’ entire content engine—owning the strategy, creation, and continuous improvement of all scripted health talks, training modules, and digital micro-lessons. You will set and steward a multi-year content roadmap anchored in national priorities and the organization’s growth plan. In parallel, you will design, prototype, and refine high-impact materials that draw on behavior-change science, digital learning, and AI-enabled workflows. Leading a small, high-performing team you will coordinate closely with government partners, M&E, Digital, and Program teams to ensure every lesson is field-tested, policy-aligned, and data-driven. This role is ideal for a systems thinker who thrives on rapid experimentation and iterative design. It is a remote position based in Africa or Europe, with working hours that provide strong overlap with Zambia’s time zone to enable real-time collaboration with in-country teams. Periodic travel to Zambia is expected for co-creation, piloting, and team integration KEY RESPONSIBILITIES Content Strategy & Alignment Content Development & Innovation Testing, Iteration & Quality Assurance Team Leadership & Implementation Support SKILLS & QUALIFICATIONS LOCATION: Remote (Europe or Africa) APPLY NOW
