Job Description

Job Description
Stand Together is a philanthropic community that helps America’s boldest changemakers tackle the root causes of our country’s biggest problems, from education to the economy, broken communities, and toxic division, among dozens of other pressing issues. We provide our partners with access to resources including funding, thought leadership, a network of peers, and a playbook for applying proven principles to transform lives and society.

The Curriculum Writer plays a critical role in shaping transformative learning experiences across Stand Together’s programs. This role is not simply about writing content—it is about designing learning that changes how people think and act. Ideal candidates bring expertise in program development, adult learning, and instructional design, along with a strong connection to Stand Together’s principles, values, and mental models.
Success in this role requires the ability to translate complex ideas into instructional pathways that deepen understanding, build capability, and reinforce principles-based decision-making. The specialist in this role is energized by collaboration, feedback, iteration, and by grounding curriculum in sound instructional principles and effective learning practices.
How You Will Contribute
  • Develop clear, engaging, and effective instructional materials for a variety of settings (in-person, hybrid, asynchronous, and virtual).
  • Shape the overall learning experience by determining how content is structured, sequenced, and integrated to achieve learning objectives.
  • Use adult learning principles to inform curriculum structure, activities, assessments, and facilitation guidance.
  • Partner closely with the Scaled Education team, internal stakeholders, and subject matter experts to deeply understand program goals and desired learner outcomes.
  • Ensure curriculum reflects aligned mental models and resonates with Stand Together’s approach.
  • Revise and update curriculum based on learner feedback, facilitator input, assessment data, and evolving program needs.
  • Conduct quality reviews to ensure materials are accurate, principle-aligned, and designed in a way that helps people learn.
  • Identify, train, and support facilitators in delivering content effectively, ensuring materials align with learning objectives and engage the audience.
  • Integrate multimedia, technology, and interactive elements to enhance engagement and retention.
  • Apply effective approaches and insights from learning, behavior change, and adult education to strengthen curriculum design.
What You Will Bring
  • 5+ years of experience in program design, learning and development, and/or adult learning.
  • Proven ability to design effective learning experiences, including sequencing, structure, and learner engagement strategies—not just writing content.
  • Experience developing facilitator-led, asynchronous, and experiential learning materials across multiple delivery modes.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with a proven track record in curriculum writing and instructional design.
  • Strong facilitation skills, with experience leading or supporting training sessions.
  • Strong understanding of adult learning theory and instructional design methodologies.
  • High attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality work.
  • Ability to work collaboratively with team members and stakeholders across various departments.
  • Enthusiasm to contribute to Stand Together's vision and principled approach to solving problems, and a commitment to stewarding our culture, which champions values including transformation and innovation, entrepreneurialism, humility, and respect.
What We Offer
  • Competitive benefits: Enjoy a 6% 401(k) match with immediate vesting, flexible time off, comprehensive health and dental plans, plus wellness and mental health support through Peloton and Talkspace.
  • A meaningful career: Join a passionate community of over 1,300 employees dedicated to improving lives and driving innovative solutionsto complex social challenges.
  • Commitment to growth: Thrive in a non-hierarchical environment that empowers employees to discover, develop and apply their unique talents.
  • Competitive compensation: Our approach rewards the value you create through competitive salaries and bonus opportunities, allowing you to share in the success you help drive.
Our Values: Working for an organization within the Stand Together philanthropic community is different from many other places. The culture is deeply rooted in Principle Based Management® (PBM®), a framework guided by the principles that drive human progress, such as dignity, openness, and bottom-up empowerment. PBM® empowers employees to be entrepreneurial, to innovate, and to continually drive transformation.
We believe diversity fuels creativity, broadens knowledge, and helps drive success. That is why we’re proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer and strive to treat all employees and applicants with honesty, dignity, and respect.

We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
