THE ROLE Khan Academy Kids is looking for a Senior Efficacy Research and Psychometrics Analyst (24 months fixed-term) to strengthen the evidence base behind our assessments and learning content for children in PreK through 2nd grade. This role spans two complementary areas. First, you will lead the technical side of our psychometrics and efficacy research: serving as the primary point of contact for our external research partners, managing recurring data extracts, analyzing and interpreting psychometric findings, and helping translate research into product improvements. Second, you will own analytics and reporting for Khan Academy Kids: building and maintaining our KPI dashboard and preparing the recurring reporting that our leadership, philanthropy, and school partnerships teams rely on to make decisions and tell our impact story. You will work on a small, interdisciplinary team alongside product managers, engineers, designers, and academic experts and collaborate closely with leading external research organizations. We are looking for someone with strong quantitative training — ideally in psychometrics, educational measurement, or a related field — who is energized by using rigorous evidence to improve learning experiences for young children.
