Your impact

This is a part-time contract position. The contract is expected to run ~2–4 months, with an anticipated workload of ~10–15 hours per week (may vary based on program needs and consultant capacity).

The German-Language Instructional Content Developer will create high-quality training materials in German for a module on writing for labeling workflows in machine learning data annotation. This role is ideal for a native German writer who understands (or can quickly learn) modern annotation tasks (e.g., text classification, NER, span annotation, safety/toxicity, dialogue evaluation) and can translate complex operational requirements into clear, engaging lessons.

The content must model excellent annotation writing: clear rationales, precise language, concise comments, and structured responses. You will collaborate with our internal program team to produce session plans, learning activities, examples, and assessments aligned to defined outcomes.

A day in the life

• Develop German-language lessons and instructional materials for Module 3 – Writing for Labeling (5 sessions), including:
• Text analysis and dialogue evaluation (quality/helpfulness/safety)
• Grammar + sentence structure for annotation writing
• Sentence precision (conciseness, tone, active vs. passive voice, avoiding hedging)
• Prompt understanding and structured response writing
• Writing workshop materials (drills, feedback guidance, revision activities)
• Produce complete content packages per session (as applicable):
• Facilitator guide, Learner materials, “Strong vs. weak” examples, Rubrics / evaluation criteria, and Short knowledge checks or assessments.
• Ensure content is rule-based and audit-ready, anchoring decisions to instructions/SOPs and modeling how to flag ambiguity appropriately (escalation rather than guessing).
• Review and iterate on content based on internal feedback, peer review, and pilot findings.
• Participate in weekly and ad hoc meetings with the program team to align on learning objectives, standards, and delivery constraints.
• (If needed) Support content deployment into our learning platform (training provided).

Your expertise

• Native German speaker with exceptional writing and editing skills (C2-level quality).
• 1+ years of experience in instructional content development, curriculum writing, technical writing, or professional training.
• Demonstrated ability to teach or explain language concepts clearly (grammar, tone, concision) to adult learners.
• Familiarity with machine learning data annotation / labeling (text classification, NER, span annotation, safety/toxicity, dialogue evaluation) or closely related AI operations work.
• Ability to write clear rationales and structured responses using precise, non-subjective language.
• Comfortable collaborating in English for project alignment (German is required for deliverables).
• Organized, deadline-reliable, and comfortable working in a remote, fast-moving environment.
• Nice to have: Experience creating content for AI/ML workforce training programs; Experience with annotation tools or workflows; Experience using AI writing tools responsibly with strong quality control.
