Head of Curriculum (Innovation)

Makers’ mission is to build a better future. We transform lives and organisations through pioneering training which keeps pace with global tech shifts. 

Tech and AI are reshaping jobs, the economy and society. Ensuring this transition is effective, equitable and inclusive will be a driver of human wellbeing into the next century. We believe talent is everywhere and the future belongs to those who can adapt and learn. 

We are here to help people do this - across tech and in every job being remade now by AI. As a committed B-Corp with the best training results in the country, we believe we uniquely bring the heart and the hard- won expertise to do this.

AI is driving technology to move quickly, and the needs of our enterprise clients are becoming more varied and specific. 

At Makers we are bringing new products to market in rapid response to the changing landscape, and updating existing products on increasingly tight and regular cycles. At the heart of this shift - AI. Many of our new products are AI related and many of the changes to our products reflect shifts in the nature of tech work brought about by AI.

Makers need a senior leader who is fascinated by these shifts in technology, has the personal motivation to stay on the cutting edge of the AI landscape, and can turn those shifts into compelling training solutions for clients.

You will bring the latest innovations in AI and technology to bear in our curriculum. When we are creating a new product or putting through significant changes, you will be present to shape and understand the need, with access to our early / pilot clients. 

And you will see all new products through their first delivery cycle, ensuring the pilot with our first client(s) goes as planned, using feedback from learners, coaches and clients to improve the experience as it runs. Once the curriculum has been tested and shown to work, you will hand it to the Head of Curriculum Product with a clear view of what worked, what needs to change and what is ready to scale.

You will bring exceptional levels of curiosity and the ability to stay current in a changing AI landscape, combined with strong technical judgement. 

You will be able to  understand how people learn and be confident working directly with clients. In particular, you will be able to deliver great training both to junior entry level AI engineers and to middle to senior managers. You will have this broader range.

Where this role starts and stops: Head of Curriculum Innovation owns discovery, bespoke design, the first live delivery and improvements during the pilot. Your counterpart, Head of Curriculum Product will support with running the process of curriculum development using standard protocols for good practice, and will take over fully when the curriculum is ready to become part of the core portfolio.
