They will develop clear submission guidelines and assessment rubrics, work with Learning Experience Designers to refine the educational quality and difficulty of projects and lessons, and evaluate and approve technical solutions and tooling. The role also contributes to sales and marketing enablement by training commercial teams on the course and graduate capabilities. Applicants should submit resumes or CVs in English.
