Curriculum Content Designer (Part-Time, Temporary Assignment)
What We Seek
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.
What Your Day Will Look Like
- Design Exploration & Prototyping: 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.
- Information Architecture: Restructure complex instructional math text, data, and pedagogical callouts using proven visual hierarchy, negative space, and structural cues.
- Systemic Iconography: Establish an intuitive visual language or icon framework that links print components directly to digital platforms.
- Usability-Focused Layout Design: Create flexible page structures that help teachers prepare efficiently before class and navigate confidently during instruction.
- Content Preservation & Collaboration: Partner with content experts to ensure visual restructuring improves presentation without compromising the deep value or rigor of the pedagogical content.
What Should Be In Your Bookbag
- Educational Product Experience: Minimum 3–5 years of professional design experience explicitly working with curriculum materials, EdTech, or educational publishing.
- Complex Information Design: A strong portfolio demonstrating your ability to organize dense content, textbooks, instructional manuals, or heavily structured content.
- Dual-Medium Mastery: Proven expertise designing for both high-quality print production and responsive digital interfaces.
-
Role-Specific Software Expertise:
- For the Digital Track: Mastery of standard digital UI tools (Figma).
- For the Print/TIG Track: Mastery of Adobe Creative Suite (InDesign, Illustrator).
- User-Centric Methodology: 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.

Tips for Your Curriculum Designer Job Search
Tailor your resume to the delivery format
Hiring managers distinguish between eLearning-focused and facilitator-led curriculum roles. Call out the specific formats you've designed for, whether self-paced modules, instructor-led training, blended learning, or microlearning, so your resume maps directly to the opening.
Build a portfolio with context, not just samples
Attach a one-page design rationale to each portfolio piece explaining the audience, learning objectives, and constraints you worked within. Recruiters reviewing curriculum portfolios want to understand your process, not just the finished course or lesson plan.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists curriculum designer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Target job postings by authoring tool
Search openings that name tools you already know, such as Articulate Storyline, Rise, Adobe Captivate, or Canvas. Matching your toolset to the posting's requirements gets your application past initial screens before a human ever reads it.
Prepare a design scenario response for interviews
Most curriculum designer interviews include a whiteboard or take-home scenario where you map a learning problem to a solution. Practice narrating your ADDIE or SAM process out loud, because interviewers are evaluating your reasoning as much as the final design.
Negotiate scope before accepting the title
Curriculum designer roles vary widely in whether you own the full design cycle or execute content written by subject-matter experts. Before accepting an offer, clarify who conducts the needs analysis and whether you control instructional strategy, not just production.
Curriculum Designer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most curriculum designers?
The companies hiring the most curriculum designers right now include IXL Learning, Corps Solutions, and Aquila Technology, with the largest share of openings in North Carolina, New York, and Virginia, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Corporate learning and development teams and edtech companies tend to post the highest volumes consistently.
How many curriculum designer jobs are remote?
About 100% of curriculum designer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of August 2026, making it one of the more location-flexible roles in education and L&D. eLearning and corporate instructional design positions are the most likely to be fully remote, while K-12 and higher education curriculum roles more often require on-site or hybrid presence.
How do you become a curriculum designer?
Most curriculum designers start with a background in education, instructional design, or a subject-matter area, then build proficiency in authoring tools like Articulate or Adobe Captivate. Earning a certificate in instructional design, assembling a portfolio of sample modules or lesson plans, and completing a contract or volunteer project in a corporate or nonprofit setting are the most direct paths into the field without a master's degree.
Can you get hired as a curriculum designer without much experience?
Yes, entry points exist if you can demonstrate design thinking through a portfolio rather than years of formal experience. Volunteer to redesign training materials for a nonprofit, create a sample eLearning module using a free Articulate Rise trial, or offer freelance curriculum work to a local organization. Posting those projects publicly and describing your process gives hiring managers something concrete to evaluate.
What does the curriculum designer interview process look like?
Most curriculum designer interviews include a portfolio review, a competency-based conversation covering how you handle needs analysis and stakeholder feedback, and a design scenario or take-home assessment where you map a learning problem to a solution. Corporate L&D teams often add a presentation round where you walk through a past project. The full process typically runs two to four rounds depending on the organization's size.
Where can I find and apply to curriculum designer jobs?
You can find and apply to curriculum designer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States in one place. Search the listings to find roles that match your experience, specialization, and preferred work arrangement, then apply directly to each position that fits.
