Our upskilling apprenticeships are designed for people of any age and career stage to build critical AI, data, and tech skills. Our learners have driven $2bn+ ROI for their employers, using the skills they've learned to improve productivity and measurable performance. In June 2022, we announced a $220 million Series D funding round co led by StepStone Group, Lightspeed Venture Partners and General Catalyst. With a post money valuation of $1.7 bn, the round makes us the UK's first EdTech unicorn. But we're not stopping there. With a strong operational footprint and 800+ employees, we have ambitious plans to continue scaling. We're building a world where tech skills unlock people's potential and output. Join Multiverse and power our mission to equip the workforce to win in the AI era. The Portfolio Lead curates a world class UK apprenticeship product set focused on Data upskilling. Working as one of two dedicated leads within our Data vertical, you are a data literate strategist who isn't shy about your passion for how data literacy, machine learning and advanced analytics are reshaping the workforce. You have a deep understanding of the data tooling market, both now and how it will continue to evolve. Practically, you will own the roadmap and key performance metrics for a set of products, proactively scoping new UK releases to grow bookings and influencing cross organisational decisions on how to maintain and improve programme retention and quality as we scale. You are the technical point of contact for GTM discovery, often supporting complex deal structures or tooling partnership meetings to maximise alignment between our data products and client needs. You also deeply understand what effective, high impact learning looks like in a technical data context and will support our Admissions, Delivery, Learning and Technology/Product teams to evolve their processes as we launch new products or improve our existing offerings. As we release synchronous and blended learning models, you will be vital in quality assuring our products and supporting other members of the Learning team (such as Senior Programme Designers and Technical Learning Designers) to make the right choices to maximise learner engagement. What You'll Do Portfolio Strategy Data Product Roadmap: Own the development and iteration of a subset of our Data product offerings by analysing data (both internal and external) to improve net new bookings, customer retention and learner retention Market Alignment: Validate our assumptions and competitor analysis in the market in partnership with Product Marketing, shaping how we communicate technical value and competitor positioning Horizon Scanning: Stay ahead of the curve on data and tooling trends to identify new skills development pain points and opportunities Investment Validation: Support GTM, Finance and our Delivery teams to scope custom data offerings, balancing market potential against the technical investment required. Product Development, Launch & Iteration Learning Squad Management and Prioritisation: work collaboratively with stakeholders across the business to create compliant apprenticeship curricula which meet learner and client needs. Use data and insights (qualitative and quantitative) to identify and prioritise opportunities for growth and improvement, including managing the backlog and prioritisation of improvements for wider Learning team members and teams external to Learning Organisational enablement and readiness: support partners in Delivery, Admissions and Product to assess and enable the readiness of our systems and people to deliver a high quality learning experience Proactive Risk Mitigation: Identify and elevate risks across all levels in the organisation, including C Suite, to ensure products remain on track to hit quality benchmarks.
