Education changes lives. But tech hasn’t lived up to its promise for the more than 1 billion students in school around the world — at least not yet. At Kognity, we’re here to change that.

We’re a 125-person EdTech scale-up powering learning in 120+ countries. Our intelligent platform replaces traditional textbooks and combines rich, interactive pedagogy with smart AI and data to help students and teachers thrive — from international schools to US high schools.

Why Kognity is the place to be:

  • ✨ Educational Innovation – Build AI-driven solutions that actually make learning better.

  • 🌍 Global Reach – Our platform supports educators and learners in over 120 countries.

  • 🤝 Driven Culture – Work with brilliant, hard-working people who care deeply about what they do.

  • 📈 Real Growth – In every role at Kognity, you will be expected to grow.

What you’ll do

  • 🎯 Design and deliver bespoke online training sessions for high school science teachers

  • 📄 Create detailed Alignment Documents that map the school's Scope and Sequence directly to the relevant units, lessons, and resources within Kognity

  • 🧑‍💻 Conduct onboarding and training sessions for new teachers and schools to ensure a smooth transition and successful platform adoption

  • 📑 Create and maintain user-friendly support materials, such as learning resources

  • 🌍 Run engaging virtual professional development on transforming and improving science teaching and learning

  • 🧠 Develop a deep understanding of Kognity’s platform and how it supports learning outcomes

  • 📈 Collect user feedback and use data to improve future sessions

Note: This is a seasonal per diem contractor role (10-40 hours per month), not a salaried or benefits-eligible position. You’ll work with us on an ad hoc basis and invoice for your time. You should be based in the US.

What we’re looking for

  • 🧑‍🏫 Experience teaching high school science - this is essential

  • 🌐 Experience delivering engaging virtual training

  • 💬 Fluency in English

  • 🔧 Comfortable using Zoom and Google Workspace

  • 🗓 Great time management and organisational skills
