- Design learning solutions that build hands-on Data Engineering capability across data pipelines, integration, orchestration, warehousing, data lake architectures, data modeling, real-time processing, and operational data workflows.
- Lead and support customer discovery, pre-sales, and solution-shaping engagements, working with Portfolio Directors and Sales teams to identify business challenges, technical capability gaps, and learning requirements.
- Produce high-level proposal outlines for customer solutions, defining the recommended learning approach, target audience, learning outcomes, delivery model, scope, and value proposition.
- Translate customer requirements, market trends, and portfolio priorities into scalable, outcome-focused Data and Cloud learning products and solutions.
- Collaborate with Data and Cloud Portfolio Directors, SMEs, and internal stakeholders to design active, engaging, and practical learning experiences.
- Work with SMEs, accreditation bodies, and vendor partners to ensure products remain aligned to certification requirements, curriculum updates, and industry standards.
- Work collaboratively with Curriculum, Instructional Design, Platforms, Courseware, Delivery, and Portfolio teams to improve product design processes, standards, and quality controls.
- Support the ongoing review and maintenance of the Data and Cloud portfolios, ensuring products remain current, competitive, and aligned to evolving market demand.
- Provide subject matter expertise across both broad Cloud technologies and technical Data Engineering, supporting product development, customer solutioning, and portfolio growth.
- Identify opportunities to create reusable, adaptable, and scalable learning propositions that support both public programs and client-specific solutions.
