About Job
WAIG builds and deploys AI-based tools for foundational literacy and numeracy assessment and instruction support across multiple countries in Sub-Saharan Africa. This spans AI-based oral reading fluency assessment (ASR-driven) and AI-based numeracy assessment and diagnostic tools (OCR-driven), deployed in partnership with governments and implementation partners.

This role owns the pedagogical and assessment integrity of the full FLN portfolio, and its program delivery, ensuring AI tools are grounded in sound learning sciences and assessment design, correctly adapted to each language and curriculum context, and deployed in a way that produces credible, usable data for teachers, governments, and funders.

This is a bridging role. The person must be able to sit between curriculum and assessment specialists, data scientists, and government education officials, and translate between all three.

1. Pedagogical Design, Assessment Design, and Quality Assurance
- Own the instructional and assessment design logic across both literacy and numeracy tools:



item construction, scoring rubrics, benchmarks, grade-level calibration, and alignment to national curriculum frameworks.
- Apply learning sciences principles (how children acquire literacy and numeracy skills, common error patterns, developmental progression) to shape product and tool design decisions, not just validate them after the fact.
- Validate that AI-scored outputs are pedagogically and psychometrically sound, not just technically accurate.
- Work with literacy, numeracy, and assessment specialists and local content partners to adapt assessment content across multiple languages and contexts.
- Ensure numeracy tool design reflects sound classroom pedagogy and progression logic, not just answer-correctness scoring.

2. Program Delivery
- Manage end-to-end field data collection cycles across both literacy and numeracy instruments: enumerator training, school-level rollout, quality checks, tro
