How can you make an impact?

We are seeking a Metadata Specialist with expertise in K-12 education and a solid understanding of literacy and social studies standards, competencies, learning progressions and assessment models. This role supports the design, organization, and governance of educational metadata that underpins McGraw Hill's K-12 literacy and social studies programs within our digital learning ecosystem. The Metadata Specialist will collaborate with curriculum, assessment, data science, and product teams to ensure metadata structures effectively support instructional and assessment alignment, personalization, and learning analytics across products and assessments. Success in this role requires strong communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to bridge educational and technical perspectives.

This position plays a key role in maintaining metadata quality, implementing consistent taxonomies and tagging standards, and contributing to the development of data-informed and algorithmically driven learning experiences that enhance teaching, assessment, and student engagement.

This is a remote position open to applicants authorized to work for any employer within the United States.

What you will be doing:

  • Collaborate with K-12 literacy and social studies curriculum, product, and data science teams to understand metadata needs and align metadata usage with instructional models, instructional and assessment content, and personalization features.
  • Establish and support metadata quality and its consistent, reliable use with a range of content types; monitor data completeness and accuracy across platforms and systems.
  • Develop, test, and refine structured metadata models and automated tagging workflows that enhance discoverability, personalization, and data analytics.
  • Research and apply existing and emerging metadata practices and interoperability models used across educational technology.
  • Develop and maintain clear documentation for metadata models, governance processes, and usage guidelines to ensure cross-functional alignment.

What you can bring to this role:

  • 5+ years in education or educational technology, with 3+ years designing or managing K-12 literacy and social studies standards and related content.
  • Strong understanding of K-12 instructional frameworks, learning progressions, and state/national standards such as CCSS-ELA and NCSS.
  • Hands-on experience with content-metadata tagging, metadata modeling, taxonomy design, and/or educational data systems, using tools like spreadsheets, databases, or scripting/query languages.
  • Skills in analyzing and organizing complex educational data, ensuring metadata quality and alignment across platforms.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to translate between educational, technical, and product-focused teams.
  • Familiarity with metadata standards (e.g., CASE, 1EdTech), LMS integrations, AI-assisted learning tools, and collaboration platforms such as JIRA, Confluence, and Teams.

Why work for us?

The work you do at McGraw Hill will be work that matters. We are collectively designing content that will build the future of education. Play your part and experience a sense of fulfillment that will inspire you to even greater heights.
