Projects typically span 14–16 weeks, depending on course scope, and may include weekly (30‑minute) development meetings. This is project‑based, remote work with compensation aligned to project scope.

Primary Responsibilities

• Develop or revise graduate‑level accounting course content, ensuring accuracy, rigor, and relevance across areas such as financial reporting, auditing, taxation, forensic accounting, cost accounting, or accounting analytics.

• Participate in scheduled project meetings to provide updates, review feedback, and maintain development progress.

• Verify technical and regulatory accuracy of all instructional materials.

• Ensure course design follows inclusive, accessible, and culturally responsive instructional practices.

• Meet project deadlines and maintain clear, consistent communication throughout the development cycle.

• Adhere to federal, state, and OCU regulations related to copyright, intellectual property, and academic integrity.

• Demonstrated expertise in the specific accounting sub‑specialty aligned with the course (e.g., advanced financial reporting, auditing standards, taxation, cost accounting, forensic analysis, accounting analytics).

• Experience applying authoritative standards and regulatory frameworks, such as GAAP, IFRS, PCAOB standards, Internal Revenue Code, COSO, or equivalent.

• Experience teaching or developing coursework in higher education; graduate‑level teaching preferred.

• Strong written communication skills, with the ability to produce clear and coherent instructional content for online, asynchronous graduate learners.

• Ability to collaborate effectively in a team‑based academic development environment.

Preferred Qualifications

• Doctoral degree in Accounting or a closely related field.

• Experience with Brightspace by D2L or comparable learning management systems.
