• Teacher Support & Advocacy: Act as a trusted peer and mentor to educators, helping them seamlessly integrate ITZA into their daily teaching practice, while ensuring alignment with Scotland’s Curriculum for Excellence (CfE).
• Relationship Management: Build and maintain long-term, collaborative relationships with key decision-makers, school leaders, and digital learning coordinators.
• Feedback Loop: Gather insights and feedback directly from educators in the field to help guide ITZA’s ongoing product development and content strategy.

Contract Type: Freelance / Subcontractor basis.

Location & Travel: Field-based across Scotland with remote working for admin/planning tasks.
