The Opportunity
The School for Advanced Digital Technology (SADT) is looking for a proactive and
systems-minded Curriculum Planning Lead to improve the way curriculum is
managed, tracked, and optimized. This role is ideal for someone who is a
self-starter who is comfortable analyzing complex processes, identifying
inefficiencies, and proposing sustainable, quality improvements.
You will go beyond data entry and maintenance. You'll identify patterns and
overlaps in curriculum, and recommend strategies to improve consistency,
clarity, and scalability. You’ll work closely with academic teams and admin
partners, acting as a resource and problem-solver who understands both the big
picture and the fine details. You’ll also be an important lead for the
curriculum REFRESH sessions ensuring the results of those sessions can be
promptly implemented.

The Role
- Streamline Curriculum Processes: Review and improve curriculum change
procedures to eliminate inefficiencies, clarify workflows, and accelerate
timelines.
- Analyze Curriculum Structures: Analyze the structure of all SADT curriculum
and identify overlaps, duplication, and opportunities for shared courses.
- Apply Systems Thinking: Approach curriculum work with a holistic view,
considering student experience, and institutional quality standards.
- Identify School-Wide Opportunities: Track trends across programs to recommend
curriculum improvements that benefit SADT as a whole, not just individual
courses.
- Support Curriculum Planning Activities: Participate in program REFRESH
sessions and other curriculum-related projects, providing insight,
organization, and follow-through.
- Build Stakeholder Understanding: Develop and deliver curriculum procedures
for academic staff to ensure clarity and consistency across programs. Part of
this is participating in Program Advisory Committee (PAC) meetings to
understand the context that curriculum changes are being triggered by.
- Use Tools with Purpose: Utilize academic systems (Curriculog, Banner, D2L
Brightspace) not just for documentation, but to extract insights and support
informed decisions.
Qualifications
- Minimum Requirements:
- Bachelor’s degree
- 3–5 years’ experience in a post-secondary institution working directly with
curriculum or academic planning.
- 3-5 years’ experience working among tech professionals (software developers,
data scientists, IT professionals, etc.)
- Experience understanding how industry feedback can be effectively implemented
into curriculum.
- Demonstrated ability to work independently, manage priorities, and take
initiative to improve processes.
- Strong analytical, organizational, and communication skills.
- A systems-thinking mindset with an ability to see connections and long-term
implications.
- Preferred Qualifications:
- Master’s degree in a related discipline (e.g., education, systems design,
higher ed leadership).
- Experience working across multiple programs or academic departments.
- Advanced knowledge of curriculum management and academic planning tools
(Curriculog, Banner, D2L Brightspace).
- Experience facilitating or supporting academic staff.
