Who We Are

NewGlobe supports visionary governments to transform public education systems, the cornerstone of a prosperous, equitable, and peaceful society.

With a comprehensive system transformation platform and data-driven educational services, NewGlobe delivers rapid and dramatic improvements in learning outcomes at state and nationwide scale. Through building impactful partnerships and programmes, NewGlobe ensures that all children have access to an education that will develop their full potential and create a foundation for growth and prosperity. 

NewGlobe leverages more than a decade of educational experience and proven impact in integrated school management, teacher professional development, instructional design innovation, technological system support, child-centered classroom practice, and parent engagement -- all grounded in learning science -- to ensure each teacher is empowered to engage children in transformational learning, and all children have the opportunity to develop to their full potential. Every day, NewGlobe supports governments to solve what were once seen as intractable problems, and by doing so, ensures this generation will be able to grow up to lead more fulfilled lives, while simultaneously building economic prosperity for themselves, their communities, and the globe. 

NewGlobe’s high-touch, intensive professional development programs, along with integrated school management, teacher support, and assessment software, enable schools to succeed. NewGlobe works within state and national curriculum and syllabi, ensuring all children are empowered to learn their own history, and master local content, while being globally competitive in mathematics and languages. The science of behaviour change and the science of learning is at the foundation of all programming. 

NewGlobe works with urgency because youth quickly becomes adulthood and relentlessly because improvement requires continuous problem-solving. NewGlobe is honoured to serve and to help rebuild trust in public systems. 

NewGlobe’s work is all encompassing and will challenge you to use your full mind, and heart, each day. We need bright minds who want to be part of building a new globe -- a more equitable globe -- to join us. 

Academics

The objective of the Academics group is to drive student achievement. To do so, we must know what is happening minute-by-minute for the typical child. The student’s daily experience, and thus the path to achievement, emerges from their relationship with the teachers and the content that is delivered in the classroom. Our team is collaboratively organised around these levers. We develop rigorous content pitched at the right level for students to be delivered by a teacher who is prepared to succeed in the classroom. Our Instructional Design department builds the content; our Leadership & Development department trains teachers and school leaders using scientifically-proven techniques; our Learning Innovation department looks at cutting-edge research to generate breakthrough learning gains. Underpinning all of this is the work of the independent Measurement and Evaluation group, which provides Academics with an empirical orientation toward improving that daily experience and, in turn, driving achievement.

About the Role

We are seeking a full-time Teachnial (Grants) Writer to join our global team. We are looking for someone to lead on locating funding opportunities across various domains (including innovation, EdTech, and GenAI, alongside larger-scale bilateral and multilateral funding for programme implementation), and to author successful proposals to these funding calls. This person will also contribute to the long-term sustainability and efficiency of the application process; this includes building a library of templates and excerpts on different components of the NewGlobe, as well as leading on the design of visual collateral like diagrams, infographics, etc. Alongside funding and grant writing, this role will play an active role in NewGlobe’s technical communications - authoring blogs and publications on various initiatives relevant to the broader policy discourse.

Our ideal candidate will have experience of writing technically in the field of education and research, with a specific background in successful grant writing. We have a strong preference for a candidate with specific experience in grant writing for international development programmes and education in particular. They will combine excellent writing with a proven ability to accurately capture and describe nuanced and complex elements of NewGlobe’s methodology as it pertains to a given call for proposals, taking pride in attention to detail. A keen sense of ownership, speedy execution, and determination are a must.

The Technical (Grants) Writer will report to the Chief Academics Officer.
