AI Portfolio Lead

Multiverse is the upskilling platform for AI and Tech adoption. We have partnered with 1,500+ companies to deliver a new kind of learning that's transforming today’s workforce. Our upskilling apprenticeships are designed for people of any age and career stage to build critical AI, data, and tech skills. Our learners have driven $2bn+ ROI for their employers, using the skills they’ve learned to improve productivity and measurable performance. In June 2022, we announced a $220 million Series D funding round co-led by StepStone Group, Lightspeed Venture Partners and General Catalyst. With a post-money valuation of $1.7bn, the round makes us the UK’s first EdTech unicorn. But we aren’t stopping there. With a strong operational footprint and 800+ employees, we have ambitious plans to continue scaling. We’re building a world where tech skills unlock people’s potential and output. Join Multiverse and power our mission to equip the workforce to win in the AI era. The Opportunity The Portfolio Lead curates a world-class UK apprenticeship product set focused on AI upskilling. Working as one of two dedicated leads within our AI vertical, you are an AI-literate strategist who isn’t shy about your passion for how generative AI, agentic workshops and complex AI transformative initiatives are reshaping the workforce. You have a deep understanding of the AI tooling market, both now and how it will continue to evolve. Practically, you will own the roadmap and key performance metrics for a set of products, proactively scoping new UK releases to grow bookings and influencing cross-organisational decisions on how to maintain and improve programme retention and quality as we scale. Given the pace of change in the wider policy sector, you will serve as an important internal voice on how we can respond to and influence the shape of new policy innovations such as apprenticeship units. You are the technical point of contact for GTM discovery, often supporting complex deal structures or tooling partnership meetings to maximise alignment between our data products and client needs. You also deeply understand what effective, high-impact learning looks like in a technical data context and will support our Admissions, Delivery, Learning and Technology/Product teams to evolve their processes as we launch new products or improve our existing offerings. As we release synchronous and blended learning models, you will be vital in quality-assuring our products and supporting other members of the Learning team (such as Senior Programme Designers and Technical Learning Designers) to make the right choices to maximise learner engagement.
