Role Overview
We are seeking an experienced Industry Subject Matter Expert to help shape a professional learning programme focused on applied artificial intelligence.

Working alongside academic contributors and learning design specialists, you will provide industry insight, challenge assumptions, and help create a programme that balances academic rigour with practical application. This is a strategic advisory and curriculum development role rather than a teaching-focused position.

* Translate rapidly evolving industry developments into clear learning priorities and outcomes
* Contribute expertise on how professionals can apply learning directly within their own work environments
* Participate in collaborative curriculum planning sessions with academic and learning design stakeholders
* Challenge and refine programme content to strengthen employability, workplace relevance, and professional impact
* Build consensus across diverse stakeholder groups while advocating for practical industry needs
* Support the credibility and industry positioning of the programme through professional expertise and networks
Requirements
* Demonstrated experience working within applied artificial intelligence, digital transformation, or a closely related field
* Minimum five years of relevant professional experience, with strong evidence of current industry practice
* Track record of delivering AI initiatives, transformation programmes, or technology-enabled business outcomes
* Ability to engage confidently with senior stakeholders and subject matter experts
* Strong understanding of AI implementation within organisational and team environments
* Experience evaluating emerging technologies and translating them into business or professional applications
* Excellent communication, presentation, and stakeholder engagement skills
* Ability to balance conceptual thinking with practical execution and workplace relevance
* Demonstrated ability to influence, persuade, and build consensus across diverse groups
* Experience contributing to strategic initiatives, programme design, advisory work, or thought leadership activities
Benefits
* Collaborative, people-centred performance culture
* Opportunities to grow in a fast-paced environment
* Exposure to innovative learning and technology initiatives
* Opportunity to contribute to the future of professional AI education
