Manager, Assessment Content
Newsela
• Own assessment content strategy and roadmap in partnership with the Director, Assessment and Analytics Portfolio and the A&A Product Manager. • Drive execution of the assessment content roadmap; translate quarterly production plans into team assignments, milestones, and vendor scopes. • Ensure content gaps are identified and closed across all subject areas, including academic content areas (ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies) and non-academic content areas (Social Skills, School Climate); prioritize across domains based on roadmap and customer needs. • Monitor state and national standard changes across all content domains; ensure Content Leads are maintaining current mappings and escalate cross-domain risks proactively. • Manage Assessment Content Designers and Content Contributors — set direction, coach for growth, run regular 1:1s and performance reviews, and develop the bench. • Scope, plan, and manage large-scale projects with Content Designers, freelance contributors, and third-party vendors to meet aggressive production targets. • Own the contributor and vendor quality framework across all content domains; conduct calibration sessions and performance reviews directly where no Content Lead is in place. • Drive operational excellence by creating clear, repeatable processes and championing the tooling needs of the team. • Unify content processes and ensure consistency with other Newsela assessment designers and teams (e.g., editorial style, metadata tagging, accessibility standards). • Collaborate with Product and Engineering to train AI models for content generation and to evaluate AI-assisted authoring tools and outputs. • Partner with Product, Engineering, Marketing and Customer-facing teams as needed on content tooling, customer questions, and go-to-market readiness. • Other duties as assigned.
Job Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in assessment content development at commercial scale (EdTech company, testing vendor, or educational publisher), with at least 2+ years in a people-management role.
- Demonstrated success leading teams that include senior individual contributors — coaching, calibrating, and developing item writers and content leads.
- Multi-subject standards fluency: command of CCSS, NGSS, and state-specific frameworks across multiple K–12 content areas, with the ability to set quality and alignment expectations even outside your strongest subject.
- Expert understanding of educational assessment design across formative, common, and summative contexts, including measurement principles and Depth of Knowledge (DOK).
- Track record managing freelance contributors and third-party vendors at scale, including building and running a quality framework with calibration and performance review.
- Strong project and production management skills — scoping work, building milestones, surfacing risk, and delivering against aggressive timelines.

About DX DX helps engineering leaders build high-performing, productive teams. We collect millions of data points daily, powering insights into developer productivity and experience at companies like Pinterest, GitHub, BNY, Xero, and many more. DX recently joined Atlassian, expanding our resources and accelerating our mission to help every engineering organization measure and maximize their impact, including the impact of AI. Our marquee conferences- DX Annual and DX Annual Europe-bring together hundreds of engineering leaders for research-driven talks, peer learning, and actionable takeaways. We're looking for someone to own the content program that makes these events world-class.
