Descripción

If you're looking to work in a young, fast-growing company with a mission and vision focused on students' well-being and professional development , this opportunity is for you.

We are a fast-growing K–12 SaaS EdTech startup, backed by global funds such as 6 Degrees Capital (UK), Heartcore (Denmark), and Shilling (Portugal). We recently closed our Series A and are looking for top talent to help scale our operations.

We're looking for a Learning Lead (English) with strong experience building and scaling academic processes, who is passionate about education, execution-driven, and excited to lead and grow a high-performing team. You'll play a key role in our mission to democratize K–12 education in Latin America.

Role Mission

You will be accountable for creating, reviewing, and refining instructional materials to ensure alignment with content requirements, evidence-based instructional practices, and Luca's commitment to delivering high-quality, standards-aligned curriculum.

You will also lead and manage project work from a team of content writers by providing editorial direction, actionable feedback, and subject-matter expertise to guide their work. This role is ideal for someone with deep expertise in literacy instruction, a strong editorial background, and a proven track record of creating, adapting, and aligning English curriculum.

Responsibilities

• Create, review, and refine English content to ensure clarity, accuracy, academic rigor, and alignment with applicable standards and guidelines.
• Ensure all instructional materials meet Luca's quality benchmarks and are appropriate for a diverse range of learners.
• Lead and support a team of content writers by providing ongoing feedback, mentoring their development, and ensuring consistency and instructional coherence across lessons.
• Design and implement ad hoc team processes and work rituals (reviews, sprints, playbooks) that improve both speed and quality of execution.
• Work closely with Product, Design, Engineering, and Customer Success teams to ensure strong pedagogical implementation across the product.
• Lead the localization, adaptation, and scaling of the English curriculum across different markets, grade levels, and educational contexts.
• Support the selection and adaptation of texts and instructional resources for lessons and assessments.
• Manage revision cycles and feedback implementation to meet project timelines and quality expectations.
• Define and steward the pedagogical vision for all English content, ensuring methodological coherence and clear learning progression.

¿What are we looking for?

• Bachelor's degree in Education, English, or a Humanities-related field (or an equivalent combination of education and professional experience), with a strong background in English instruction.
• 7+ years of experience designing, developing, and/or reviewing curriculum for an educational publisher or EdTech company, with a solid foundation in literary genres and critical analysis. At Luca we are focused on always creating the best material.
• A forward-thinking leader with proven experience managing or mentoring a team of curriculum developers or content writers.
• Experience leading curriculum adaptation or alignment efforts to meet state standards and specific market needs.
• Excellent editorial judgment, strong attention to detail, and the ability to manage multiple rounds of feedback.
• Proven ability to meet deadlines while balancing multiple projects simultaneously.
