Drive the future of AI Transformation at Pearson as part of the AI Centre for Enablement team (AI C4E). Inspire innovation. Empower learning.
Pearson, the world's leading learning company, is hiring a Program Manager, AI Control Planefor our Office of Chief Technology Officer (OCTO)to join the AI Centre for Enablement (C4E) team.
Why This Role Matters:
The AI Control Plane (AICP) is Pearson's flagship investment in AI infrastructure: a multi-year programme that closes Pearson's AI governance gap, accelerates how teams ship AI value, and builds the strategic know-how to keep AI cost-effective as usage scales. It delivers enterprise-wide visibility into Pearson's AI estate—what is deployed, what it costs, where it creates value, and what we should do next. AICP sits inside OCTO's AI Centre for Enablement (C4E).
This is a deliberately blended role. Roughly 70% is technical programme management of a major cross-organisation investment, working across Pearson business units and corporate functions including engineering, security, and legal.
Roughly 30% is product leadership for an internal 'data product'—the enterprise AI telemetry dashboard that turns Pearson's AI investment decisions from opinion-led to evidence-led. You will drive how that dashboard looks and how it gets built, working with a cross-functional engineering pod inside OCTO.
You run the day-to-day delivery of AICP—from architecture handoff through business-unit onboarding to general scale—and act as product owner for the enterprise AI telemetry dashboard. You free the engineering and architecture leads from coordination overhead so they can focus on what only they can do.
As a member of OCTO AI C4E and Pearson, you are expected to embody and role model our leadership dimensions:
Live Our Purpose:You align your values, actions, and goals with Pearson's mission. You connect daily work to our broader purpose and make decisions that reflect a deep understanding of our strategy.
