Job description

You already know the 2024 Primary Science syllabus redefined what it means to teach Science - less memorisation, more meaning-making through thinking, experimenting and problem-solving.

If that makes perfect sense to you, and you're eager to shape a curriculum that finally aligns with how students learn best, this is your chance to do just that (without the admin overload and emotional toll)!

As our Primary Science Curriculum Designer, you can focus on pouring your energy into meaningful curriculum work again that inspires curiosity, mastery and confidence.

About The Pique Lab

At The Pique Lab, we believe that where curiosity blooms, knowledge flourishes.

Our tagline “Curious Inside. Limitless Outside.” embodies our mission to nurture every child’s curiosity & journey with him / her on that path of discovery and wonder.

Our Math & Science lessons are meticulously crafted based on pedagogical research, data‑driven methodologies & have one overarching goal : to make learning fun, shorten learning curves & help students develop a genuine appreciation for Math & Science .

Over the past decade, we've grown from a pair of co‑founders to a diverse team of over 100 team members across 10 departments. Our proprietary learning methodology & examination‑centric materials have helped more than 20,000 students ace their examinations.

Our headquarters is in Singapore, with remote teams in China, India, Malaysia & the Philippines. We take pride in our open, fast‑paced & flat organisational structure where every team member is valued for their skills & competencies, not just their job titles.

Your Role As Our Primary Science Curriculum Designer

As our Primary Science Curriculum Designer, you’ll take the lead in refining our Primary Science curriculum and lesson materials that are aligned with MOE learning outcomes and our approach to learning.

With your keen insights into the current MOE education approaches and syllabus changes, you will be involved in :

• Designing topical coloured notes that inspire fun and mastery in Science concepts and MCQ / OEQ answering techniques.
• Designing targeted worksheet practices to reinforce conceptual understanding and answering techniques : At The Pique Lab, we build exam confidence in our students from Day 1 by using a mix of original questions and thoughtfully selected past‑year exam questions.
• Designing in‑class hands‑on learning activities that deepen understanding and prepare students for their weighted assessments.
• Conducting up to four Primary Science weekly classes and ad‑hoc workshops to ensure the curriculum remains effective and grounded in classroom practice.
• Staying up to date with curriculum shifts, pedagogical trends and evolving exam formats across schools and the PSLE.
• Collaborating closely with our Primary Science Teaching Team to iterate the curriculum based on classroom insights and student performance, while sharing best practices on learning and teaching.

You, Our Ideal Primary Science Curriculum Designer

Required :

• Love for Science & Learning Design : You enjoy breaking down complex scientific ideas into clear, engaging formats. You believe that with the right structure, context, and inquiry‑driven approach, every child can develop a deep curiosity for how the world works, and grow to love and excel in Science.
• Strong Curriculum Awareness : You’re familiar with the latest MOE syllabus changes and understand how to translate them into meaningful classroom experiences.
• Meticulous & Quality‑Driven : Checking your work for accuracy, clarity, and flow is important to you. You take pride in producing high‑quality learning materials that are both effective and aesthetically polished.
• Independent & Reliable : You work well with minimal supervision, manage your time effectively, and consistently meet deadlines.
• Collaborative & Open to Feedback : You enjoy working with teachers to improve your work, and value feedback as a tool for growth and iteration.

Good to have :

• Prior MOE Teaching Experience : You’ve taught in a primary school classroom and understand the demands and realities of preparing students for weighted assessments and the PSLE.
• Curriculum Development Experience : You have prior experience in designing lesson plans, worksheets, or learning resources.
• Familiarity with Annotation & Answering Techniques : You know the ins and outs of breaking down a question with smart annotation techniques, the keywords and key phrases that examination markers look out for and answering techniques to help students score the full marks for questions.
• Experience in Flat or Fast‑Paced Teams : You’ve worked in environments where speed, ownership, and adaptability are key. You thrive when trusted with responsibility and aren’t fazed by quick turnarounds or shifting priorities.
