About The Position

California Teaching Fellows Foundation (CTFF) is a nonprofit that develops individuals for expanded learning tutoring roles supporting TK–12 students across six counties. Its mission is to elevate and equip educators to empower youth, communities, and themselves, and its vision is for Teaching Fellows to emerge as credentialed teachers and education leaders while students and communities experience the opportunities and hope education can create. The Senior Learning and Development Manager of Curriculum & Partnerships builds CTFF’s external professional development products and partnerships, converting proven internal professional development into offerings for external clients. This includes packaging CliftonStrengths with a certified-practitioner Senior Manager, defining offerings and pricing, developing delivery infrastructure, cultivating partners and prospective clients, and testing the model through proof-of-concept engagements before scaling revenue. The role owns curriculum for CTFF leadership and office professional development, from needs analysis through evaluation. It leads the Curriculum Committee, aligns learning with CTFF’s capability framework and organizational priorities, and validates programs through pilots, feedback, and observed performance. The manager also develops the presenter bench and Office Fellows, delivers and models high-quality training, and builds delivery capacity that does not depend on the manager personally leading every session. The position owns the content pipeline for the leadership and office professional development library in Docebo, working with the Senior Manager responsible for Docebo administration and operational systems. It sets quality standards for digital and blended learning, reviews courses, and refreshes or retires content as appropriate.
