About the Role

You are the single person accountable for getting each new curriculum area out of the door: on time, to specification and to budget. You are the project manager for every new vertical, from sizing and costing it through to publication on the platform, and you own the quality of what ships.

This is an educational production and project management role. It is not a marketing, SEO, journalism, editorial or exam board role, and you will not be writing the questions yourself.

Expect three or four programmes in production at once, across unrelated subjects, some with existing authors and some needing a subject network, a brief and a workflow built from nothing. You will need to be exceptionally organised, exacting on detail, and comfortable saying that something cannot be done in the time available if it compromises quality.

You will report to the CEO, sit on the leadership team, manage a small in-house team and hold your own freelance budget.

What you'll be responsible for:

• Delivery plan for every new curriculum area: scope, schedule, budget, milestones and risks, run in Linear with stage gates and visible to the whole business.
• Sizing and costing each programme before we commit, and saying plainly what is achievable.
• Author network: finding, testing, briefing and managing freelance subject specialists in each subject, including from scratch.
• Quality standard: owning the review process so every question is correct, on specification and consistent, and fixing the process when something slips through.
• Production workflow: running a repeatable process, including AI-assisted drafting, tagging and first-pass checks, so each new programme follows the same system.
• Protecting delivery on the core 11+ business while new programmes are built.
