Professional Development Specialist (Contract, Part-Time)
Education changes lives. But tech hasn’t lived up to its promise for the more than 1 billion students in school around the world — at least not yet. At Kognity, we’re here to change that.
We’re a 125-person EdTech scale-up powering learning in 120+ countries. Our intelligent platform replaces traditional textbooks and combines rich, interactive pedagogy with smart AI and data to help students and teachers thrive — from international schools to US high schools.
Why Kognity is the place to be:
✨ Educational Innovation – Build AI-driven solutions that actually make learning better.
🌍 Global Reach – Our platform supports educators and learners in over 120 countries.
🤝 Driven Culture – Work with brilliant, hard-working people who care deeply about what they do.
📈 Real Growth – In every role at Kognity, you will be expected to grow.
What you’ll do
🎯 Design and deliver bespoke online training sessions for high school science teachers

🌍 Run engaging virtual professional development on transforming and improving science teaching and learning
🧠 Develop a deep understanding of Kognity’s platform and how it supports learning outcomes
