Science Curriculum Manager (Physics)

Science Curriculum Manager (Physics)

• AP Physics C: Mechanics
• AP Physics C: Electricity and Magnetism

• Write premium content yourself. Draft, edit, and publish questions, exams, explanations, and video scripts.
• Expert-led, AI-powered. Use and help improve Albert's proprietary AI workflows, style guides, and rubrics. You have the final say, and your eye catches what AI misses: a sign error, an unrealistic value, a weak distractor.
• Own rigor and quality. Map every item to the Course and Exam Descriptions (or NGSS and state standards for core courses), match the real exam's difficulty and style, and make every explanation clear and concise. You'd rather ship one excellent item than ten "barely acceptable" ones.
• Grow with the role. Later, you will build content in other STEM areas that fit your strengths based on strategic needs.
• Be the voice of the science teacher. Bring classroom insight to our Product and Content roadmap.

• When and how. About 1–3 two-day trips a month, August through October, nationwide by flight, hotel, and rental car, with advance notice whenever possible. Occasional travel the rest of the year.
• Virtual sessions. In peak season, expect live virtual trainings alongside content work.
• Expenses and stipends. Albert covers all travel costs (flights, hotel, rental car, meals) under our travel and expense policy, which you'll receive during onboarding; some expenses may require pre-approval. On top of that, you earn a bonus stipend for every on-site training, scaled to the length and complexity of the trip.

• The bar is very high. "Pretty good" content doesn't ship. Every item is checked line by line, including by you. Some days, one free-response question takes hours.
• AI is not optional. Our AI workflows are central to how we build STEM content, and you'll use and improve them daily. Where AI falls short, you'll write or edit by hand. If you'd rather never use AI, or would trust it without checking, this isn't the role.
• Fall is busy and occasionally on the road. From August through October, you'll lead several virtual or onsite trainings each month while keeping content development moving: an airport on Monday, a new practice set by Thursday.
• Live sessions go sideways. During teacher trainings, Wi-Fi fails, schedules shift, a room is skeptical. You keep your calm so teachers leave feeling cared for.
• You'll switch gears and steer yourself. Item writing, exam reviews, a district training, a new subject launch, all against quarterly goals. You'll get support, not a daily task list.

• Start date: January 2027.
• Process: We review applications on a rolling basis: an initial interview, an AP Physics writing sample, and a final interview with a brief live training.
• How to apply: Instead of a cover letter, please answer the short questions on the application form.

• 3+ years teaching 6th–12th grade science. You know where students get stuck and why.
• A STEM or STEM education degree. In physics, engineering, or a related field, or in education with a secondary STEM specialization.
• Deep content mastery. You can solve any AP Physics problem cleanly, explain it to anyone, and spot errors fast, calculus-based mechanics and E&M included.
• A love of writing STEM content. You've written rigorous, standards-aligned questions or assessments, and you love the craft.
• AI-empowered builder. You use AI daily, love building better workflows, and treat AI as a tool, not an authority.
• Teacher of teachers. You've led PD, presented to colleagues, or been unofficial tech support for your school (and you loved it).
• Willing and able to travel. Nationwide, mostly August through October.
• Calm, clear, and kind. You stay composed when a session or deadline goes sideways, give and take feedback well, and own mistakes fast.
• Organized and tech-agile. You juggle workstreams, hit deadlines with little oversight, and pick up new platforms fast.
• Commitment to accessibility. You've adapted content for English learners, students with IEPs, or others who need scaffolding.
• Mission alignment. You believe rigorous academic practice improves outcomes, and you can convince teachers of it.

• Expertise in other STEM areas. Especially chemistry, economics, or computer science.
• Deep AP expertise. You've been an AP Reader, or attended or led an AP Summer Institute.
• Instructional design chops. You've built your own slides, lesson plans, or videos that make hard ideas click.
• Leadership or coaching experience. Department chair, curriculum coordinator, coach/club leadership, or managing a team.
• Within ~1 hour of a major airport. Living farther makes flights and on-site coverage much harder.

• Health, dental, and vision insurance. We offer two medical plans, both through Cigna. The company’s contribution is set at the Base Plan: Albert covers 100% of the employee-only premium and 50% of the dependent premium for the Cigna OAP PPO Base Plan. If you elect the Buy-Up Plan, Albert contributes the same dollar amount it would have contributed toward the Base Plan and you pay the difference. Dental and vision are also through Cigna, with Albert covering 90% of the employee premium and 50% of the dependent premium.
• Insurance concierge through Nava. Our insurance broker, Nava, will help you file claims, find doctors, and answer coverage questions.
• Flexible Spending Account and Dependent Care FSA. Set aside pre-tax dollars for medical and dependent care costs.
• One Medical membership. Same-day appointments, virtual care, and a real primary care relationship.
• Paid parental leave. Twelve weeks of fully paid leave after one year of service.
• 401(k). A fully managed plan with a 1% company match.
• Flexible, guilt-free vacation. No fixed allotment and no approval theater. Most people take three to four weeks a year, and we mean it.
• Half-day Fridays. Every week, year round.
• A deep-work culture. Few meetings and long uninterrupted blocks, because the work we do rewards focus.
• Pay that does not depend on your zip code. The same bands apply wherever you live, with raises tied to performance rather than tenure.
