In 2013, while many believed that universal internet access was imminent, and the digital learning revolution would soon benefit everyone globally, we made a bold decision and chose to focus on the educational needs of those who didn’t have reliable connectivity. Fast forward to 2025, and a third of the world’s population remains offline, 251 million children and youth are out of school, and many more still lack consistent access to quality digital learning. Founded by a group of PhD students with a vision of ensuring that everyone had the opportunity to learn and flourish, over the last 12 years Learning Equality has grown from bringing Khan Academy exercises and videos offline to becoming a key player in the education technology landscape. Thanks to our work, over 10 million learners in underserved communities across 220+ countries and territories now have access to transformative digital tools—no connectivity required. We develop and support offline-first, needs-driven edtech that builds agency for learners, teachers and organizations. Our solutions are  co-designed with the communities we serve to ensure they meet their unique needs. But we recognize that technology alone isn’t a silver bullet, so we also focus on supporting organizations—through our direct assistance or our DIY model—with what they need to foster quality, student-centered learning  in underserved contexts. And we know this proven approach improves learning.  With the support of organizations such as the Hewlett Foundation, UNHCR, Patrick J. McGovern Foundation, Endless Network, and Swarovski Foundation – to name a few – we are continuing to grow our reach, deepen our impact  and ensure many more under-resourced communities around the world can access and actively foster quality learning opportunities. We are seeking a Program Specialist, Student Centered Learning, to lead on key aspects of our implementation support strategy, with a focus on enabling equitable, learner-driven practices in low-connectivity environments. This is a full-time position for an experienced educator who is passionate about advancing student-centered learning at scale, and who resonates deeply with Learning Equality’s mission to foster equity, agency, and opportunity through learning. This is a remote opportunity open to candidates based in East Africa.  Additionally, this position involves some (<10%) international travel to the countries where our project partners are located. What does student centered learning at Learning Equality look like? At Learning Equality, student-centered learning means putting learners’ needs, contexts, and voices at the heart of education—and designing systems that recognize their agency and right to meaningful, relevant, and inclusive learning experiences. We work toward this vision by building and supporting an offline-first ecosystem of tools, anchored by Kolibri, that enables partners to provide flexible, curriculum-aligned, and culturally responsive learning experiences—without Internet access. Learning Equality’s products and tools are enabled by a do-it-yourself model of adoption. While Learning Equality also supports its effective use through specialized services, we don’t design or implement interventions on our own. Instead, we collaborate with different types of organizations who choose to use our tools in their educational programming, from individual users, to small collectives, to state and national governments, to international NGOs, and UN agencies. Our role is to equip partners and educators with the resources, tools, and pedagogical strategies they need to adapt and apply Kolibri in student-centered ways. In this position, your responsibilities will include developing and facilitating Kolibri training workshops, designing a coaching and mentoring framework to empower program staff and educators at partner organizations, and contributing to the development of materials to enable DIY adoption of Kolibri – all with a key focus on student centered learning. Some of the projects you could be working on or advising others about in a given month include:  This position focuses on the following efforts, as part of a highly collaborative team:  This position might be for you if… You have: You are: Bonus points. Don’t let it hold you back from applying if you don’t meet these requirements but please mention if you do!  Compensation Our core values guide our compensation and benefits package, just like they guide the rest of our work.  To avoid biases and address historical pay inequities, we use a consistent formula to set our team salaries. Rates are calculated through three factors: a person’s role, level of experience, and their work-from-home location. We believe in being transparent about compensation: We will calculate candidate-specific rates based on cost of living at applicant locations, and will share exact numbers during introductory conversations.  As an example, a full-time candidate based in Uganda would receive an hourly rate of $27.94 USD, for an estimated annual payment of $51,000 USD and a full-time candidate based in India would receive an hourly rate of $19.20 USD, for an estimated annual payment of $35,000 USD. This independent contractor rate is calculated to include supplements to compensate for benefits provided to US-based employees, such as medical benefits, paid time off, and retirement fund contributions.  Learning Equality is a small, globally distributed team working towards a world where everyone can achieve their full potential through access to quality education. To achieve this goal we seek and support a team representative of the cultures and ethnicities, genders and sexual orientations, religious beliefs and abilities that are reflective of our global community. The diversity of our team brings strength, creativity, perspective, and joy to our work.  To apply, complete the application below. We do not ask for a cover letter and will not review one if submitted; please prioritize answering the questions on the application instead. We’re eager to hear from your authentic writing voice and would prefer applications to be completed without the use of AI or Chat-GPT. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis, with priority given to those received by Friday, June 13.  APPLY NOW

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
