TEAM LEAD - VISUAL ARTS
We Want To Change The World. We Believe It Starts With Education.
In India, 100 million children from low-income communities grow up without access to the 21st-century skills they need to thrive — from emotional intelligence and digital literacy to everyday money management. This gap leads to a lifetime of limited opportunity, intergenerational poverty, and rising mental health concerns.
What Are We Doing?
At The Apprentice Project (TAP), we're building India's boldest bet on education equity — an AI-powered learning buddy that helps thousands of government school students unlock 21st-century skills. We don't just teach coding or financial literacy — we spark self-confidence, creativity, and lifelong curiosity in children who've been told to "stay in their lane."
We're not looking for employees. We're looking for co-builders — people who want to create generational change, one student at a time.
Who We're Looking For
We're looking for a Visual Arts practitioner who can also build curriculum — someone who is as comfortable in front of a camera demonstrating a painting technique as they are writing a lesson plan or reviewing student submissions. You'll own the Visual Arts vertical end-to-end: from designing activities and PBL experiences to producing instructional videos, reviewing student work, and continuously improving based on what the data tells you. Visual Arts competency is non-negotiable from day one — but so is the ability to translate that competency into practical, engaging learning experiences for students across diverse schools and contexts.
About The Role
Engagement: Consultant
Time Commitment: 35–40 hours per week
Reports to: Associate Senior Manager – Curriculum & 21st Century Skills

- Develop and maintain rubrics and assessment approaches for Visual Arts projects.
Content Production

- Publish and organise content on Google Drive, YouTube, and Plio.
- Maintain high standards of quality and consistency across all Visual Arts content.
Review & Improvement

- Use evidence to identify what is working, what isn't, and what needs to change.
- Continuously raise the quality bar on Visual Arts learning experiences.
Coordination & Ownership
- Coordinate with Content Production, Program Implementation, Product, Technology, and other curriculum teams.
- Own timelines, quality, follow-ups, and end-to-end delivery of Visual Arts work.
Who You Are
- 1–3 years of experience in Visual Arts, curriculum design, education, instructional design, or related fields.
