Job Description
Remote | UK or South Africa | Full-Time
About The Role
We're hiring a Senior Programme Manager to lead the next wave of digital learning innovation at FourthRev. Sitting within our Product function and reporting to the Chief Learning Officer, this role is ideal for someone who can operate at pace and depth, owning and evolving complex, careers-first learning products in a high-growth, AI-first EdTech environment.
This is not just about managing programmes. It's about shaping their future, strategically steering them through concept, build, launch, and scale, with an eye firmly on market data, emerging tech, and learner outcomes. In the early phase, you will be the primary driver - executing the vision, implementation plan, and quality standards to ship great products - while progressively shaping and leading the experts (SMEs, PMs) that will scale around you.
You'll work across teams, borders, and time zones, partnering with universities, employers, and internal experts to build high-impact, scalable products that sit at the centre of FourthRev's learner and partner promise.
Key Responsibilities
- Take full ownership of a high-value product portfolio, guiding programmes from opportunity scoping and sprint planning through to launch, optimisation, and scale.
- Champion AI-first, data-informed development by actively working with our current and dynamically developing tech stack to enhance speed, insight, and quality.
- Lead the end-to-end co-design and adaptation of programme curricula in collaboration with university faculty, SMEs, industry contributors, and internal teams.
- Manage the delivery of diverse learning assets including written, visual, video, and content to high production and quality standards.
- Establish and monitor programme KPIs (e.g., JTBD, learner engagement and feedback, CSATs) and use data to inform product development prioritisation and continuous improvement.
- Coordinate cross-functional teams, suppliers, and contributors, including Programme Managers, SMEs, and learning designers, with a focus on shipping high-quality products on time, within budget, and to high standards.
- Maintain active, transparent communication with senior stakeholders, managing dependencies, risks, and decision points.
Spot and implement process improvements that support scalability, automation, and smarter workflows across the product development and enhancement lifecycle.
Requirements
What We're Looking For
- 8+ years of experience delivering high-quality digital products or programmes, including 2+ years at a senior level in fast-paced environments such as EdTech, SaaS, or digital agencies.
- A strong grasp of product development practices, from user-led design to agile delivery.
- Demonstrable experience with AI-enabled tools, learning platforms, and digital infrastructure such as LMS, LXP, analytics dashboards, and integrations.
- Proven success in co-creating product experiences that blend rigour with industry/market relevance.
- Strong analytical and decision-making abilities, grounded in data and strategic outcomes.
- Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across internal leadership, partners, and contributors.
- Experience overseeing suppliers and managing cross-functional delivery teams in remote-first settings.
- A Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant field such as product management, education, or digital technology is desirable but not essential.
Benefits
What You'll Gain at FourthRev
At FourthRev, we work at the intersection of education and the future of work. We collaborate with the world's leading universities and tech companies to design rigorous, career-focused learning experiences. We are a remote-first team that values impact, collaboration, growth, and flexibility.
You can expect:
- A mission-driven team committed to real-world learner outcomes
- Flexibility to work remotely in the UK or South Africa
- A transparent, high-performance culture with regular feedback and coaching
