Location: Remote (Must be based in St. Louis, MO; Houston, TX; Phoenix, AZ; or Las Vegas, NV)

Employment Type: Full-Time, Exempt

Schedule: Non-Traditional (Evening & Weekend Focus)

About mathleague.org

mathleague.org is the largest network of local and state math competitions at the elementary, middle, and high school levels in the US and abroad. We run more than 400 contests globally, reach over 30,000 students annually, and produce more original math contest problems each year than any other contest in the US. Our work is grounded in our four core values: excellence, integrity, trust, and community.

About the Role

We are looking for a talented mathematician and educator who wants to trade the 9-to-5 grind for a high-autonomy, high-reward role.

As our Director of Curriculum, you will shape the intellectual core of our math competitions. You will split your time between deep work (curating contest problems) and live engagement (teaching advanced seminars and administering contests). Because our students are available outside of school hours, this role operates on a "Second Shift" schedule—giving you your mornings free.

The "Income Accelerator" Opportunity

We understand that talent deserves to be rewarded. While this role carries a stable base salary for Director duties, we offer a unique internal opportunity to significantly increase your earnings.

Guaranteed Base Salary: $50,000 – $55,000 per year.

Optional Tutoring: You will have priority access to our private client base for 1-on-1 tutoring at $70/hour.

Potential: By tutoring just 5–10 hours a week (scheduled around your core duties), you can add $15,000 – $35,000 to your annual income.

Total Compensation Potential: $70,000 – $90,000+ annually.

The Schedule: Daytime Freedom

This is not a standard M-F / 9-5 role. It is perfect for night owls, parents who want to minimize childcare costs, or researchers who want their mornings quiet.

Fixed Hours (~20-25 hrs/week): Teaching and Contest Administration occur primarily on weekday evenings and weekends.

Flexible Hours (~15-20 hrs/week): Curriculum design, email, and strategy can be done whenever you prefer—Tuesday morning at 10 AM or Thursday night at 2 AM.

Location & Relocation

This is a remote position, but candidates must reside in the greater metro areas of St. Louis, Houston, Phoenix, or Las Vegas.

Relocation Friendly: We welcome candidates looking to move to these high-quality, tax-friendly (TX/NV), and lower-cost-of-living hubs. We offer a flexible start date and a modest moving stipend to help you settle in.

Key Responsibilities

Curriculum Design (Flexible): Lead the team to create and curate problem sets for our competitions, focusing on creative inquiry rather than rote memorization.

Live Instruction (Fixed - Evenings): Lead small-group online seminars for high-performing students.

Contest Administration (Fixed - Weekends): Oversee the live execution of math contests, ensuring integrity and smooth operations.

Private Tutoring (Optional): Deliver high-quality 1-on-1 instruction to clients (scheduled at mutual convenience).

Qualifications

Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Mathematics or a related field is required. A Master’s or PhD is welcomed but not required. We prioritize mathematical intuition and teaching ability over title.

Experience: Teaching experience is essential. You must be comfortable explaining complex concepts clearly in a live setting. Background in math competitions (IMO, USAMO, Putnam, Math Circles) are highly desirable. If you can create an entire high-quality practice MATHCOUNTS test set on your own, you are probably well-qualified for this job. Potential interviewees will be asked to submit a ~5-minute teaching sample and a sample math test prior to the interview.

Skills: Strong public speaking skills for online instruction and the discipline to manage a non-traditional schedule.

Benefits

Health Coverage: We provide a monthly tax-free Health Stipend (QSEHRA) to reimburse you for health insurance premiums.

Paid Time Off: Two weeks paid vacation per year.
