Term: 12 month contract

Role overview

We are looking for an organized, detail-oriented, and tech-confident Junior Production Controller to join our team. In this role, you will support the end-to-end production of high-quality digital mathematics resources for primary school teachers and students. You will coordinate workflows, manage database systems, track production schedules, and ensure our content meets the highest standards of mathematical accuracy and presentation.

Key Responsibilities

• Production Coordination & Scheduling: Monitor digital math resources through content development, design, review, and release. Keep project trackers updated, manage dependencies, track approvals, and flag potential delays early.
• Database & Data Management: Build and maintain complex database workspaces (properties, relations, rollups, views, and formulas). Ensure data integrity, troubleshoot broken relations or logic, keep databases clean, and optimize workflows for non-technical team members.
• Quality Control & Math Accuracy: Proofread digital lesson materials, teacher guides, and assessments. Check for errors in calculations, mathematical notation, diagrams, formatting, layout, and links across both digital files and PDFs (via Adobe Acrobat Pro).
• Asset & Version Control: Maintain organized digital folders, standard file-naming conventions, and clear version histories to ensure only approved assets reach final publication.
• Cross-Team Collaboration: Serve as the central link between our mathematics, editorial, design, and production teams to keep projects moving smoothly.

Requirements

Essential:

• Organizational Skills: Able to manage multiple tasks, deadlines, and version histories simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
• Systems & Logical Thinking: Strong attention to detail combined with a methodical approach to problem-solving and maintaining clean data.
• Technical & Database Proficiency: Comfortable navigating and troubleshooting complex, interconnected database systems, formulas, and data structures.
• Tooling: Proficient with databases (Notion preferred), Adobe Acrobat Pro for reviewing and annotating PDFs; adaptable to learning new platforms quickly. Advanced experience: with relational databases, project management tools, or digital content management systems (CMS).
• Mathematical Understanding: Confident working with primary math concepts, representations, and calculations to independently spot errors

Desirable:

• Background or strong interest in primary mathematics education, digital publishing, or content QA.
• Basic familiarity with Adobe Creative Cloud (InDesign, Illustrator).

Core Qualities We Value

• Rigorous & Precise: You naturally spot small discrepancies and take pride in clean data.
• Pragmatic & Approachable: You can build smart systems without over-engineering them, making technology easy for others to use.
• Proactive & Resilient: You enjoy digging into complex problems, adjusting to new direction or deadlines, and continuously improving processes.

What We Offer

• Meaningful Work: Directly impact on the improvement of primary math education globally.
• Growth & Mentorship: Hands-on experience across the full digital production lifecycle with opportunities for career growth .
• Work-Life Balance: Home-office position with flexible working hours.

Interview Process Insight

During the interview, we will ask you to walk us through a database, workspace, or system you have built or managed. We care less about flashy visuals and more about how you structure data, manage dependencies, resolve edge-case errors, and keep systems user-friendly.
