About Recademics
Recademics is a founder-owned outdoor education company built by educators, hunters, boaters, riders, and divers. We help people get legally certified and into the outdoors through state-approved certification courses for boating, hunting, bowhunting, off-roading and more. We aim to deliver education that is engaging, simple, and focused on effective learning.
We partner with state agencies to meet strict regulatory requirements while delivering a better learning experience for students. Our courses are built on the science of teaching and that philosophy is our edge. It starts with great content.
The Role
We’re hiring contract Content & Curriculum Writers to help build and improve the courseware behind our certification programs. You’ll start with a set of scoped projects, and the work spans every kind of learning content we produce: written lessons, assessment and question pools, visual and interactive elements, and the briefs that drive our video and media production.
This is a contract engagement to begin. We’re working with a small group of writers across our first projects, and the person who consistently does excellent work will have the opportunity to grow into ownership of our content system end-to-end — managing all media (text, image, video, activities, and formats still to come) and the process that keeps it teaching well and improving over time. If you’re looking for a contract gig that could become something bigger, this is built for that.
What You’ll Do
To start (scoped projects):
• Create instructional content from standards set by regulatory bodies
• Author and refine assessment items and question pools
• Adapt content into state-specific variants that meet each state agency’s requirements.
• Apply instructional-design best practices — spaced repetition, retention-focused structure, scaffolding — to both new and existing material.
• Collaborate with subject-matter experts to draft, review, and polish content
As the role grows (content system ownership):
• Own the content backlog: use student data, reviews, and assessment performance to decide what to build or improve next.
• Implement and configure course content within our Learning Management System (LMS).
• Manage content across all media — text, image, video, and interactive activities — including briefing and QA’ing production work.
• Keep courseware mapped and aligned to national and state standards, and maintain that record over time.
• Measure learning outcomes and reviewer readiness, and feed results back into the next round of improvements.
Who We’re Looking For
We want current or former educators who have moved into — or want to apply — instructional design. If you’ve taught and you’ve also built curriculum or training, you’re exactly who we have in mind.
• Classroom or training experience as an educator (current or former).
• Instructional design or curriculum development experience (you’ve built lessons, courses, or assessments, not just delivered them)
• Strong, clear writing with an eye for how people learn and retain.
• Comfort working independently, hitting deadlines, and incorporating feedback in a fast-moving small company.
• AI-forward (you should use AI regularly in your workflows)
• Reliable for 10–20 hours per week.
Nice to Have
• Familiarity with online/eLearning course design, or LMS platforms.
• Comfort using AI tools as a drafting partner while keeping a sharp editorial eye on accuracy.
• Experience with multimedia learning — scripting video, designing activities and visual content.
• You’re outdoorsy — you boat, hunt, fish, ride, dive, or otherwise spend time outside.
Details
• Type: Contract (1099), with the potential to grow into a long-term role for the right person.
• Hours: 10–20 hours per week, flexible scheduling.
• Rate: $30–$50 per hour, based on fit and expertise.
• Location: Remote (U.S.-based) / Dallas – Fort Worth area is nice to have
How to Apply
Apply directly through LinkedIn. In a short note, tell us about your teaching and instructional-design background, and — if it’s you — how you spend time outdoors. Sharing a lesson, writing or curriculum sample is welcome but not required.
