OpenDor Media is seeking an experienced, dynamic educator and relationship-builder to join our ConnectED division in a hybrid role. ConnectED partners with independent and public schools (grades 6–12) to help students and educators engage thoughtfully with complex and often sensitive topics, including the Israeli-Palestinian story, antisemitism and the Holocaust, Jewish history, courageous conversations, and media literacy. We believe in nuance, empathy, and respectful dialogue—and we’re looking for someone who can bring that spirit into classrooms, faculty rooms, and school partnerships.

This role combines senior-level teaching and facilitation with strategic partnership management. The majority of this position is focused on direct educational work—designing curriculum, delivering programs, and coaching faculty—while also serving as a key relationship manager for a portfolio of ConnectED partner schools. The ideal candidate brings deep classroom experience, strong interpersonal skills, and a genuine passion for building lasting school partnerships. When relevant, this role will also support Unpacked for Educators initiatives.

This full-time role is hybrid, with significant in-person teaching required. You’ll regularly travel to deliver programming and support partner schools across the country. This position reports to the Vice President of ConnectED.

What You’ll Do:

• Design and adapt curriculum for grades 6–12 that aligns with ConnectED’s video content and core subject areas, drawing on frameworks such as UbD or PBL.
• Deliver professional development sessions, lead classroom programs, and present at webinars and conferences—both in person and on Zoom.
• Facilitate courageous conversations on complex topics with students and educators in ways that are inclusive, nuanced, and age-appropriate.
• Support faculty through one-on-one coaching, curriculum guidance, and implementation support.
• Serve as a primary point of contact for administrators, faculty, and educators at a portfolio of ConnectED partner schools, building strong, trusted, and lasting relationships.
• Meet regularly with school leaders and faculty to understand their challenges, align their needs with relevant ConnectED offerings, and shape customized engagement plans.
• Contribute to the growth of ConnectED’s reach—both by expanding our broad network of schools and educators engaging with our content at scale, and by deepening the transformative, long-term work we do with cohort partner schools.
• Manage the full lifecycle of each partnership—from onboarding through implementation, follow-up, and renewal—and facilitate community-building webinars that promote peer learning among schools.
• Represent ConnectED at school events (virtually or in person) and at conferences as needed, ensuring programs are executed with excellence.
• Maintain accurate documentation of meetings, programs, and partnerships in Salesforce and the ConnectED Events calendar.
• Collaborate with colleagues across ConnectED and OpenDor Media, contributing to strategy, resource development, and team culture.

• Classroom Experience: Minimum of 7 years teaching in a middle or high school setting, ideally within independent or secular schools.
• Curriculum Expertise: Demonstrated experience in curriculum design with familiarity with models such as UbD or PBL.
• Facilitation Strength: Experience guiding conversations around challenging or sensitive topics with poise, care, and confidence before both large and small groups.
• Confident Presenter: Strong public speaking skills and comfort leading both large group sessions and intimate discussions.
• Relationship Management: Proven ability to build and maintain strong relationships with school administrators and stakeholders; skilled at listening to partners’ needs and connecting them with the right resources.
• Mission Alignment: Deep interest in at least some of our core topics (Israel, antisemitism, Jewish history, media literacy) and a commitment to nuance and empathy. Experience with or connection to the Unpacked for Educators community is a plus.
• Strategic & Organized: Able to balance big-picture thinking with attention to detail; manages multiple projects and partnerships with precision and strong follow-through.
• Strong Communicator: Excellent verbal and written communication skills; confident engaging school leaders, facilitating discussions, and representing ConnectED with professionalism and warmth.
• Collaborative & Mission-Driven: A team player who thrives in a fast-paced environment with a “get things done” mindset, bringing positive energy, initiative, and adaptability.
• Tech Fluency: Proficiency in Google Workspace, Zoom, and Salesforce; able to facilitate engaging online programs and maintain accurate records.
• Cultural Fit: Brings a secular, inclusive perspective that resonates in diverse school environments.
