The opportunity

As the Curriculum Designer’s (CD), you’ll create the curriculum architecture for any kind of learning pathway at SNHU. The curriculum architecture is used by others to develop learning experiences that may be offered across different delivery methods and modalities (online, face-to-face, direct assessment). In collaboration with subject matter experts, SNHU Academics, and other university partners, you will lead the design of the curriculum and articulation of workforce-relevant skills for SNHU’s learning experiences. This work includes labor market data research and analysis, and benchmarking of SNHU programs against external offerings. You will report to the Director of Curriculum Design.
