Our client is an emerging company in the field of educational development. Primarily they operate as a Wechat platform, with the mission to help inform parents all over China how they can access more opportunities to help benefit the educational development of their child.

Within the company's Wechat platform is a service they offer called the "Treasure Box".

The Senior Content Developer is responsible for creating the treasure box content for English (predominantly for Secondary aged students), with each grade having three levels of difficulty. They are looking for someone who can create innovative and educational daily activities that will take the child approximately 20 minutes to complete. The activities will be delivered by the teacher to the platform in the form of video teaching. Class sizes are kept small so that the teacher can manage their students on a personal level and help them flourish.
