The role
With the rapid advances in AI technologies, it is vitally important that young people gain a foundational understanding of how AI technologies are built and how they are changing the world.
We are looking for an experienced educator to lead our work on AI Literacy, generating classroom resources, learning experiences, and teacher CPD that enables teachers to confidently deliver engaging lessons that will inspire and educate young people about AI and the role that it could play in their lives.
We've already made a great start through Experience AI, a collaboration with Google DeepMind that has generated lesson plans, classroom resources, worksheets, hands-on activities, and videos that introduce a wide range of AI applications and the underlying technologies that make them work. Since launching the first resources, we have seen significant demand from teachers and students all over the world, with over 200,000 students already learning with Experience AI. We are now building a global network of education partners who are translating and localising the materials for their contexts.
As Senior Learning Manager, you will lead the newly formed AI Literacy team to further develop Experience AI and other AI Literacy initiatives from the Foundation. You will manage a small team of Learning Managers and you will work collaboratively with colleagues across the Foundation and partner organisations.
You will have a background in computing education, with a track record of having created curricula, resources, learning experiences, or teacher professional development activities. You will have a good understanding of AI technologies and be committed to staying at the leading edge of this fast-evolving field.
We strive to make the Foundation a place where talented people who care about our mission can do the best work of their careers. We have a flexible and collaborative approach to all aspects of our work. If you’re the right person for the job, we’ll make it work for you, and you can be confident that you’ll be working with an exceptional team.
