Curriculum Content Designer (Part-Time, Temporary)

Carnegie Learning • Pittsburgh, PA

1d • $40 - $50 • Remote

About The Position

Our team is seeking Design Temps for a 4-month project to lead the design exploration and optimization of our secondary math resources. We are hiring for two distinct roles through this single posting: Digital-Focused Track: Heavily rooted in Figma, focusing on transforming comprehensive, content-dense, print-centric materials into seamless print-to-digital student and teacher experiences. Print/TIG-Focused Track: Heavily rooted in Adobe InDesign, focusing on the layout optimization of our data-dense Teacher’s Implementation Guides (TIGs) to reduce cognitive overload and streamline lesson flow. Regardless of the track, the ideal candidates specialize in complex content design, visual hierarchy, and cross-media design (print and digital). You will partner closely with content experts to ensure restructuring improves usability without compromising pedagogical rigor.

Requirements

• Minimum 3–5 years of professional design experience explicitly working with curriculum materials, EdTech, or educational publishing.
• A strong portfolio demonstrating your ability to organize dense content, textbooks, instructional manuals, or heavily structured content.
• Proven expertise designing for both high-quality print production and responsive digital interfaces.
• For the Digital Track: Mastery of standard digital UI tools (Figma).
• For the Print/TIG Track: Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator).
• Deep understanding of user experience (UX) or design thinking methodologies applied to document design, with a focus on scannability, cognitive load, and accessibility.
• Solution-minded, detail-oriented, and committed to continuous improvement of communication and user experience.

Responsibilities

• Execute end-to-end design explorations, wireframes, and high-fidelity mockups (using Figma for the digital track or InDesign for the print track) to seamlessly bridge physical text with online platforms.
• Restructure complex instructional math text, data, and pedagogical callouts using proven visual hierarchy, negative space, and structural cues.
• Establish an intuitive visual language or icon framework that links print components directly to digital platforms.
• Create flexible page structures that help teachers prepare efficiently before class and navigate confidently during instruction.
• Partner with content experts to ensure visual restructuring improves presentation without compromising the deep value or rigor of the pedagogical content.

Benefits

• Flexible work arrangements with our Work From Anywhere Policy
• Reduced working hours for soon-to-be and new parents
• Free access to CL products for employees and their children
• Quarterly Wellness Incentives
• Monthly employee activities + recognition program
• Employee Allyship Groups (EAGs)
