The role
We are building AI-powered content systems across the organisation, and they need a clear long-term technical strategy. This role defines and drives that strategy.

Working across AI, content, product, and platform engineering, you will define the technical vision, establish shared standards, align teams around key decisions, and ensure that AI-enabled systems are scalable, reliable, secure, and measurable in their impact on both the business and learner outcomes.
