Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering for clinicians with strong assessment, research, and product-development interests, especially in SLP, literacy, early childhood, or academic achievement. It is less suitable for clinicians without research leadership or psychometric/product exposure.
Who should apply
Speech-language pathologists, occupational therapists, psychologists/clinical assessment specialists, early childhood or literacy assessment experts, and clinically trained researchers with experience in standardized assessments, test development, psychometrics, or educational product innovation.
CV angle
Reframe real clinical assessment work as research and product-development experience: highlight instruments administered/scored, clinical interpretation, item/content review, data-informed decision-making, and collaboration with psychometricians, educators, or product teams. Emphasize any research leadership, AI/digital tool use, assessment design, and commercialization exposure without overstating experience.
Skills to highlight
- Standardized assessment administration and interpretation
- Research design and study leadership
- Psychometric data interpretation
- Item development and content review
- Speech-language pathology, literacy, or early childhood assessment expertise
- Cross-functional collaboration with product and research teams
- AI and digital innovation in assessment workflows
- Product strategy and commercialization support
Role summary
Lead research and clinical assessment development for Pearson's Clinical Assessments portfolio, translating clinical evidence, customer needs, and business strategy into assessment products across areas such as speech-language pathology, literacy, academic achievement, cognition, and early childhood.
