The Job:

We are seeking a Manager, Learning Design and Innovation to design and build DEC's education programmes and to push the boundaries of how they are delivered.

You will report to the Director of Education and work closely with faculty contributors, member institutions and DEC's research and partnerships teams.

Responsibilities include:

- Manage course production workflows and platform setup, ensuring quality, consistency and a strong learner experience across the portfolio
- Maintain and improve DEC's learning design standards, templates and quality benchmarks
- Coordinate contributors, reviewers and production partners to keep projects on schedule and to standard
- Track learner engagement, feedback and outcomes, and use what the data shows to iterate on live programmes
- Contribute to DEC's broader thinking on AI in teaching and learning, feeding practice back into the Council's frameworks and research

Your profile:

- 5+ years of relevant professional experience, with at least 3 years in learning design, instructional design or online course development
- Strong grasp of learning design principles and assessment, with the judgement to know when to apply them and when to break from them
- Practical fluency with AI tools and a clear point of view on how they change learning design
- Comfortable working with academic experts and senior stakeholders, and able to guide them through a design process
- Organised and detail‑oriented, able to run several projects at once without losing quality
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Comfortable working across time zones with a globally distributed team
- Fluency in Spanish and/or French preferred

Why apply for this role?

- Work at the front edge of AI in education with a network of 190+ member institutions
- Join a fast-growing, mission‑driven organisation as it scales its impact globally
