Our culture values diversity, engagement, and discovery

Our business is driven by our strong culture, and we know that creating an inclusive and diverse workplace is absolutely essential to the success of our company and our learners, as well as our individual well-being.

The Director of Content Development leads our course design strategy, our course development processes, and the execution of our roadmap for content delivery.

This role encompasses 4 major areas of responsibility:

  • Deeply understand the business, the different sales channels, our growth strategies and priorities

  • Lead the Learning Design Insights Agenda: As learning designers, we are always curious about what is working and how to continuously improve what we are doing. At our current stage of life, we are unlikely to start developing courses in a materially different way or dream up ways to revolutionized online learning. We are more likely thinking about how to develop more insights around our users, what impacts user satisfaction, and what drives learning outcomes

  • Lead the content development plan that enables us to meet our goals (production management, resourcing and org design, agility)

  • Own our Content Development Frameworks, Processes, Standards/Best Practices Alignment, and Thought Leadership tied to our development processes

Skills You Will Need Here:

You will have demonstrated success at leading and aligning teams around company goals to meet or exceed business targets, having a track record of success and a solid reputation for supporting and coaching a team to meet these goals.

Your team supports a broad, market leading portfolio of products while also developing new offerings to expand our catalog.

Essential Duties/Responsibilities:

  • Seasoned relationship builder with high integrity who successfully influences others and empowers team to creatively develop differentiated features

  • Structures operational and strategic work by developing plans, gathering, and synthesizing relevant data, leading analyses, and executing recommendations

  • An effective coach and mentor by having the experience an ability to do the critical work you oversee

  • Able to create OKRs/KPIs/Goals for the team, and manage to these goals

  • Sets clear objectives and timelines for achieving results within this role, and for all direct reports

  • Responsible for forecasting, tracking, and analyzing costs

  • Utilizes excellent project management skills, organization, and clear communication to drive decision-making and progress throughout product development lifecycle

  • Accountable to the team and the company to achieve results

Basic Skills:

Required

  • Bachelor's Degree: Advanced degree preferred

  • 7+ years of leadership experience managing teams of 25+ resources (individual contributors and people managers)

  • 10+ years of instructional design experience. You have strong abilities in and experience with learner-centered design.

  • Experience building and delivering online training programs within the adult learning space is strongly desired

  • A background in building programs in B2B and B2C business models, preferred

  • Experience building programs that generate more than $50M/year, preferred

  • Experience bringing new products to market, and managing products across their lifecycle (cradle to grave)

  • Strong financial analysis and modeling skills and an understanding of business metrics

  • Able to lead progress against deliverables with a high degree of accountability and personal urgency

  • Consistent record of creating and implementing strategy, developing business cases for investment, and leading cross-functional teams to solve complex problems

  • Deep understanding in creating and carrying out customer feedback models and using customer data to make product, platform, and/or service model enhancement

  • Interpersonal savvy with exceptional communication and negotiation skills, engaging presentation abilities, and an ease in partnering with and influencing colleagues and executives

What This Role is Not:

Candidates who have significant background in traditional publishing (HED/K-12), course development in for-credit markets, or large-scale development projects (multi-year, million-dollar projects), should be prepared to highlight how their background and experience meets the requirements of this opportunity (eye for business, high agility, lead many smaller projects on a faster schedule and lower cost model vs traditional digital publishing). It is presumed most applicants will have impressive credentials and background in digital course development-applicants should include a cover letter that highlights the business and strategy aspects of their experience that align to these job requirements, in addition to their experience leading content development teams.
