Singapore’s move to the new SEC examination is the biggest change to Secondary English in years, and we’re rebuilding our Secondary curriculum for it. We’re looking for someone to own that curriculum: what we teach, how teachers deliver it, and how it scales across Singapore and the region. You’ll lead 1–2 writers, work closely with our teachers, and still teach so you stay close to the classroom.

What you’ll do

Own the curriculum

• Own the scope and sequence and the long-term roadmap for our Secondary 1–4 English programme

• Keep it aligned with the MOE syllabus and SEC assessment requirements

• Improve it continuously using classroom performance, teacher feedback and student results.

Build teacher-ready materials

• Write lessons, worksheets, assessments, rubrics and answer keys that a teacher can run tomorrow with no clarification needed

• Differentiate for mixed abilities without losing rigour

• Quality-assure everything that goes into the classroom.

Lead and enable people

• Guide 1–2 curriculum writers on quality and deadlines

• Brief and calibrate teachers so delivery is consistent across centres and online

• Teach 5–8 classes a week initially, reducing to 2 as the programme grows

Grow the programme

• Help grow our Secondary programme. Our goal is to triple student numbers over the next 3 years

• Understand the business behind the curriculum: how trials, conversion, retention, class sizes and pricing drive growth, and use that to shape what you build

• Work with Operations and Marketing on trial lessons, programme materials and campaigns that bring students in and keep them.

• Adapt the curriculum for our regional needs

What we’re looking for

Must-haves

• 3+ years in Secondary English teaching or curriculum development (Singapore context)

• Strong knowledge of the MOE Secondary English syllabus and the SEC/O-Level assessment format

• Excellent writing, editing and proofreading

• Commercially curious: comfortable working with numbers, or keen to learn how an education business grows (we’ll teach you)

• Experience turning curriculum into engaging, classroom-ready materials

• Organised and reliable, able to hit deadlines across multiple projects

Nice-to-haves

• Experience training, coaching or briefing teachers

• Curriculum work across online and in-person classes, or across markets

• Confident, thoughtful use of AI tools in content development

• Experience leading or mentoring writers
