Job Description

  • To provide deep subject expertise to build the strength of our subject leadership, strategy and implementation.
  • Ensure subject voice is represented in all role accountabilities. Subject specialism is required for the key subjects.

  • Develop and maintain subject and market insight in particular across the creative subjects, in particular GCSE and A level Drama and PE, with knowledge of other creative subjects: Art & Design, Music, Design & Technology, and Project Qualifications desirable
  • Develop strategy and propositions, managing budgets, forecasting revenues.
  • Manage qualifications through their lifecycle, working in conjunction with the subject Head of and Manager to make well-timed decisions about withdrawal, extension, redevelopment, new market entry and strategies for mid-cycle growth.
  • Track, analyse and respond to competitor activity.
  • Develop and maintain an in-depth evidence base of teacher/centre needs and behaviours in each subject, including teacher needs and behaviours at a subject level.
  • Develop and maintain insight into best practice (pedagogy, assessment) at subject level.
  • Work with sales and marketing colleagues to devise and implement an effective data-driven campaign strategy and customer journey.
  • Plan, commission and/or deliver customer-facing events and networks; recruit, train and deploy specialists.
  • Implement improved monitoring of customer experience at regular points through the lifecycle.

Leadership

  • Work effectively in virtual teams with colleagues across Pearson to ensure a positive working culture, in support of Pearson Schools strategy both in the UK and internationally.
  • Champion a ‘customer obsession’ culture within the business, ensuring that all decisions are made with reference to the needs of our customers and learners.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
