To build and manage LAHI's curriculum-linked, multilingual and reusable knowledge and resource system for school vocational education.

• Decide when to reuse, curate, adapt, contextualise, create or retire resources.
• Work with NCERT, SCERTs, state departments, boards and other academic institutions on curriculum-linked resources.
• Build a common-core + state-specific approach to content.
• Lead multilingual translation and contextualisation across different states and Indian languages.
• Ensure adaptations retain learning outcomes, pedagogy and assessment intent.
• Manage writers, instructional designers, technical experts, illustrators, translators and production partners.
• Establish standards for content briefs, technical review, pedagogical review and release.
• Maintain resource registers, version control, ownership, permissions, review cycles and repositories.
• Capture learning from LAHI's field work and convert it into reusable frameworks, tools, guides, cases and knowledge assets.
• Use teacher and field feedback to continuously improve resources.
• Manage reuse/adaptation decisions, reusable versus state-specific content, versioning, repositories, rights and conversion of field learning into improved resources.
