Programme Manager - Learning job in London

Apolitical is a learning network for government. Our mission is to make government work better for people and the planet. We equip policymakers with the knowledge, skills and community they need to solve the world’s hardest challenges. Our platform is used by more than 100,000+ public servants and policymakers in 170 countries, with members ranging from mayors, ministers and heads of state to millennials pioneering digital innovations.

Your role:

1. Design the experience of our learning offerings from a community perspective. This will include defining how we use features like forums, overseeing the design and delivery of online events and social activities. It will also mean ensuring that systems such as email delivery can scale significantly, whilst still retaining their delight for learners. You will manage at least one Community Manager, who will support you on the delivery of our paid learning experiences.

2. Build partnerships that serve our community. You will build relationships with expert partners who can serve our community's learning needs - this currently means engaging institutions who can co-create courses with us, but down the line could also include syndicating expert partnerships for speaking events, mentoring or question+answer-style platform features. Your role will be to build trust, identify opportunities and shape high level proposals, before transitioning ownership to the Instructional Design Lead or COO/Director of Sales as appropriate.
