Job description

Remote

Are you obsessed with quality and learning excellence at scale? Do you see systems, frameworks, and principles as creative tools for impact? Have you built or applied evaluation models that ensure consistency, rigor, and learner success across programs? Are you equally comfortable analyzing data, codifying standards, and guiding teams to align with them? Are you motivated by the challenge of creating a global learning framework that defines what world-class education looks like? If so, then this might just be the role for you.

ABOUT ALX AFRICA

ALX Africa, a non-profit organisation under the ALX Foundation, is dedicated to unlocking the potential of Africa's digital future. Formerly part of Sand Tech Holdings, we've embarked on an independent journey to provide world-class tech skills training and career acceleration programmes. Our mission is to bridge the digital divide, upskill and reskill talent, and create a generation of innovative leaders. By 2030, we aim to empower 2 million Africans to secure sustainable tech careers.

With hubs in 8 cities across Africa and counting, we provide safe access to quality learning and a dedicated network of expert instructors. Our innovative programmes equip learners with the practical skills and knowledge needed to succeed in today's rapidly evolving tech industry. Through a combination of rigorous coursework, industry partnerships, and hands‑on projects, we prepare our students for in‑demand roles in software engineering, data science, and cybersecurity.

We achieve this by :

  • Providing young professionals with access to the most in‑demand tech skills that will power the future.
  • Empowering the next generation of technology innovators, entrepreneurs, and business leaders through challenging, real‑world coursework.
  • Building a lifelong, impactful community of tech professionals that support them at all stages of their career journey.

This role is part of the Learning R&D Team , which drives program innovation and research at ALX Africa. We design new programs, codify learning principles, and ensure consistent quality across our program portfolio at scale.

As a Curriculum Evaluation & Learning Standards Specialist , you will define and uphold the quality standards for all ALX programs. Your work ensures that curricula are coherent, learner‑centered, scalable, and aligned with industry needs.

Your first major project will be to lead the development of the ALX Learning Framework, a consolidated “single source of truth” that articulates our learning principles, model, and processes. This framework will unify how programs are designed and maintained, enable faster innovation, and establish robust systems for feedback‑driven improvement across the portfolio.

RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Develop, apply, and refine curriculum evaluation rubrics that measure quality, scalability, and learner impact.
  • Review new and existing programs to ensure alignment with ALX learning principles and global benchmarks.
  • Build feedback loops into program design to capture learner insights.
  • Maintain reporting systems on curriculum quality and learner outcomes.
  • Learning Framework Development

  • Lead the development of the ALX Learning Framework (principles, model, processes, and playbooks).
  • Codify best practices into templates and tools that ensure speed, quality, and consistency across design teams.
  • Pilot the framework across a variety of use cases.
  • Develop training and onboarding resources to enable learning design teams to apply the framework effectively.
  • Monitoring & Compliance

  • Establish systems to monitor whether ALX learning standards and principles are consistently applied across programs.
  • Conduct periodic reviews and audits of curriculum design projects to ensure compliance.
  • Provide clear feedback and guidance to design teams where misalignment is identified.
  • Develop accountability mechanisms (e.g., review checkpoints, sign‑offs, dashboards) to embed compliance into the design workflow.
  • Maintain ALX’s institutional learning design principles, updating them as pedagogy and technology evolve.
  • Establish governance processes for regularly reviewing and updating standards.
  • Integrate learner outcomes and market feedback into ongoing refinement of programs and frameworks.
  • REQUIREMENTS

    Experience

  • Proven experience in curriculum evaluation, instructional design, quality assurance, or education research.
  • Demonstrated ability to design and apply evaluation rubrics or frameworks.
  • Experience in building or codifying institutional learning standards or models (preferred).
  • Familiarity with technology‑enabled and AI‑supported learning (beneficial).
  • Skills

  • Strong analytical skills, with the ability to synthesize qualitative and quantitative feedback.
  • Excellent communication skills to translate complex standards into clear guidance.
  • Proficiency in curriculum development tools and evaluation methodologies.
  • Strong project management skills for framework development and implementation.
  • Mindset

  • Passion for high‑quality, scalable education that drives learner outcomes.
  • Detail‑oriented and systematic, while comfortable working in fast‑moving, innovative environments.
  • Curious, adaptive, and committed to continuous improvement.
  • Person Attributes

  • Courage : Willingness to speak up, challenge the status quo, and embrace new challenges.
  • Humility : Openness to learning, seeking help when needed, and a focus on serving others.
  • Adventure : A passion for setting ambitious goals, tackling difficult tasks, and finding joy in the journey.
  • Initiative : Proactive problem‑solving, a sense of ownership, and a willingness to go above and beyond.
  • Resilience : The ability to bounce back from setbacks, persevere through challenges, and emerge stronger.
  • EMPLOYMENT TYPE

    This role is a full‑time position.

    WORK HOURS

    The required work hours are 40 hours per week.

    Due to the considerable amount of virtual working and interaction with colleagues and customers in different physical locations internationally, it is essential that the successful applicant has the drive and ethic to succeed working in small teams physically but in larger efforts virtually. Self‑drive to communicate constantly using web collaboration and video conferencing is essential. As an employee, you will be encouraged to continually develop your capability & attain certifications to reflect your growth as an individual.
