How can you make an impact?
McGraw Hill, the leading provider of digital and print educational solutions, is looking for Executive Director, Academic Design within our K-12 division who will be responsible for creating market-leading science instructional materials that are embraced by teachers and enjoyed by students. This role will report directly to the Chief Academic Officer and will manage and inspire a team of academic designers to create efficient and effective materials for educators that optimize student learning. The Executive will collaborate across product management, product marketing, product design, user experience, and technology to develop and deliver engaging teaching and learning experiences in both print and digital formats. As part of this role, you will:
- Apply your expertise in science, pedagogy, content standards, and instructional design to understand and create products that meet the needs of our customers and provide competitive differentiators.
- Collaborate with other departments in researching, designing, and developing product concepts. Analyze, summarize, and synthesize multiple inputs and viewpoints into a cohesive, cost-effective, accessible, and engaging solution.
- Develop deep cross-functional and stakeholder partnerships to set portfolio-level strategy, priorities, and resourcing.
- Effectively prioritize work and assign resources across internal staff and external vendors, including clear goal setting and performance management, to deliver accurate, error-free, high-quality work in a fast-paced and fluid environment.
- Participate in industry events, customer research and advisory boards, and educational product reviews. Stay up to date on emerging educational, pedagogical, curricular, and technological advances relevant to science and adjacent fields.

You have excellent written and oral communication, inspiring others to understand why our solutions are best positioned to help solve market needs.
- Leadership and Organization: You envision the long-term strategic capabilities and talent mix needed within the department, and you architect your organizational design to best align with business needs, structure, and people. You model and actively build a climate of trust, appreciation, and openness to different thoughts, styles, and backgrounds. You build commitment, foster confidence, and develop people to achieve our goals. You champion change initiatives in ways that help employees understand, appreciate, and support them. You create a culture of innovation and learning that drives individual and team development.
- Business and Financial Acumen: You understand how business value is created through our products, and you help develop compelling business cases to fund new development.
