About the Role
We’re hiring a Senior Programme Manager to lead the next wave of digital learning innovation at FourthRev. Sitting within our Product function and reporting to the Chief Learning Officer, this role is ideal for someone who can operate at pace and depth, owning and evolving complex, careers-first learning products in a high-growth, AI-first EdTech environment.

This is not just about managing programmes. It’s about shaping their future, strategically steering them through concept, build, launch and scale, with an eye firmly on market data, emerging tech, and learner outcomes. In the early phase you will be the primary driver - executing the vision, implementation plan and quality standards to ship great products - while progressively shaping and leading the experts (SMEs, PM’s) that will scale around you. You will typically have experience of shipping products either as an Instructional/Learning Designer or Product Owner ideally in an educational environment, though not essential 

You’ll work across teams, borders, and time zones, partnering with universities, employers, and internal experts to build high-impact, scalable products that sit at the centre of FourthRev’s learner and partner promise.

Key Responsibilities

• Take full ownership of a high-value product portfolio, guiding programmes from opportunity scoping and sprint planning through to launch, optimisation and scale

• Lead the end-to-end co-design and adaptation of programme curricula in collaboration with university faculty, SMEs, industry contributors and internal teams
• Manage the delivery of diverse learning assets including written, visual, video, and content to high production and quality standards
• Establish and monitor programme KPIs (e.g. JTBD,  learner engagement and feedback, CSATs) and use data to inform product development prioritisation and continuous improvement.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams, suppliers and contributors, including Programme Managers, SMEs, and learning designers, with a focus on shipping high quality products on time, within budget and to high standards.
• Maintain active, transparent communication with senior stakeholders, managing dependencies, risks and decision points
• Spot and implement process improvements that support scalability, automation and smarter workflows across the product development and enhancement lifecycle.

Requirements

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years of experience delivering high-quality digital products or programmes, including 2+ years at a senior level in fast-paced environments such as EdTech, SaaS or digital agencies
• A strong grasp of product development practices, from user-led design to agile delivery
• Demonstrable experience with AI-enabled tools, learning platforms and digital infrastructure such as LMS, LXP, analytics dashboards and integrations
• Proven success in co-creating product experiences that blend rigour with industry/market relevance
• Strong analytical and decision-making abilities, grounded in data and strategic outcomes
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across internal leadership, partners and contributors
• Experience overseeing suppliers and managing cross-functional delivery teams in remote-first settings
• A Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in a relevant field such as product management, education or digital technology is desirable but not essential

Benefits
