The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in evidence-based product development, be a clear communicator and collaborative leader, and be an expert at maximizing his or her effort to drive business strategy. This role, as with all people-manager roles at General Assembly, will be a “working manager” with its own portfolio of strategic projects and thus requires a leader with a “light touch” in terms of people management.

This highly collaborative leader will work with their counterparts in the learning team, the product management organization, product operations, and the global delivery operations organization to develop and deliver best-in-class learning experiences for all learners and highly qualified talent for employers. This role will support full-time, matrixed, and contracted contributors dedicated to learning experience design, contextualized development, flexible capacity, and content strategy. 

This role is preferred to be U.S.-based with flexibility to be 100% remote.

Responsibilities:

• Engage General Assembly’s clients in discovery and design processes to uncover the core learning and developmental needs of their organization’s stakeholders.
• Lead, support, and develop a team of highly-qualified, highly autonomous learning professionals to evolve General Assembly’s flagship curriculum as well as support scalable, client-centered contextualization. 
• Lead a scalable, efficient effort to integrate General Assembly’s highly qualified instructors, network of instructional assistants, and contract learning designers to support curriculum development and delivery across consumer, enterprise, and government channels. 
• Direct and operationalize innovative, agile, and efficient staffing models to support General Assembly’s roadmap, enterprise clients, and growth ambitions.
• Collaborate closely with Product Management, Marketing, Product Operations, and Global Delivery Operations partners to gather input from learners, clients, instructors, and delivery staff to constantly improve the learning experience.

The anticipated compensation range for this role in the US market is $90,000 and $105,000. Compensation will be determined based on experience, education, geographic location, and other factors.
