The role

We are looking to appoint an experienced educator to join the Raspberry Pi Foundation's US team to help increase access to computer science education for young people. 

Reporting to the Executive Director, you will be responsible for leading the adaptation and development of our curriculum, teacher professional development, and learning experiences for young people, ensuring that they address the needs of teachers and students in the US. You will also support the expansion of our network of Code Clubs, providing safe and fun environments for young people to get creative with technology. 

This is a varied role and you will be responsible for identifying and developing partnerships, designing and delivering curricula and CPD, engaging with policy makers, and more. You will also work closely with the Executive Director to develop our strategy for the US. 

You will have a background in computing science education, with a track record of having created curricula, resources, learning experiences, or teacher professional development activities. 

As part of our new US strategy, we have made a commitment to working with partners in Minnesota to increase equitable access to computer science education. This role will therefore be based in Minnesota and you will need to have a good understanding of the education system, ideally with direct experience of working in schools or non-formal education in the state. You will work in partnership with local school districts, nonprofits, state government, and industry to expand access to computer science education in Minnesota, ensuring that the Raspberry Pi Foundation's resources and capabilities complement those of local partners. 

While a significant portion of your time will be focused on Minnesota, you will also work across the USA, developing learning experiences, products, and partnerships that benefit millions of students. You will also work closely with colleagues outside the US, contributing to the Foundation's global mission. 

We strive to make the Foundation a place where talented people who care about our mission can do the best work of their careers. We have a flexible and collaborative approach to all aspects of our work. If you’re the right person for the job, we’ll make it work for you, and you can be confident that you’ll be working with an exceptional team.
