Job Introduction

Twinkl is here to “help those who teach.” It's what brings us to work every day. We're proud to create educational resources that can be used at each step of a child's learning journey.

The Role:

As an Elementary Curriculum Editor, you will ensure the resources we create for U.S. educators are factually correct, expertly written, culturally appropriate, and suitably challenging for each grade. You will be an experienced K-12 teacher with exceptional writing, communication, and technology skills.

With your knowledge of U.S. state standards, you will ensure that our innovative teaching resources address key curriculum objectives and meet the needs of those who teach across the United States. The resources you edit will be turned into professional Twinkl products by our highly skilled design and illustration team.

You will need to complete 37.5 hours every week and edit a designated quota of resources every week. You will be expected to participate in weekly meetings during standard business hours.

How you’ll spend your day:

1. Editing and proofreading Early Childhood-5th grade content for ELA, math, science, social studies, and other curriculum areas, as required.
2. Communicating with a global team of Curriculum Writers, Designers, and Illustrators.
3. Researching a wide variety of subjects to ensure our resources’ copy and illustrations are accurate and age-appropriate for the millions of global customers who download them monthly.
4. Adhering to the USA Twinkl Style Guide.

Candidates must meet the following criteria:

1. Certified U.S. K-12 teacher (state-issued license must be current and in good standing).
2. Experienced classroom teacher with at least two years of recent public school experience in a K-12 setting.
3. Must be online and available from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM EST, Monday through Friday, as part of the regular working schedule. Flexibility outside these hours is possible for other tasks.

To succeed in the role, you must:

1. Communicate quickly, clearly, and concisely with the Curriculum Writers, Designers, and Illustrators to whom you will provide editing and proofreading feedback.
2. Take pride in your exceptional spelling, punctuation, and grammar skills.
3. Demonstrate excellent time management, organization, and technology skills.
4. Possess excellent research skills, with the ability to gather, analyze, and interpret complex information effectively.

In return for everything you bring to Twinkl, we can offer you an exciting role in a fast-growing and dynamic business with career progression opportunities, plus:

1. Generous PTO and sick days
2. 401(k) retirement plan with company match
3. Short and long-term disability insurance options
