Are you an Agile leader, passionate about education and creating better outcomes for learners? Can you drive a ‘test and learn’ approach by using Product Management methodology, championing insight and user-research?
Why this role is important…
You’ll be responsible for leading the Community Education department – both its product development and its operational service delivery – to support millions of learners each year with humanitarian education.
You’ll champion the learner through harnessing an Agile approach to product delivery – driving better educational outcomes. You’ll support those most at risk within the UK by ensuring educational products are learner-centric and evidence-based, building community resilience and people’s skills and confidence to act in a crisis.
You’ll play a critical role in helping the British Red Cross to respond to current events. An example is our recent work to reduce vaccine hesitancy – using data and user research to understand and respond to need within communities across the UK with a range of rapidly evolving products, channels and campaigns.
What you’ll be doing…
Agile ways of working will come naturally to you. Leading by example you’ll manage various disciplines to ensure the education offer remains responsive to the needs of learners and delivers the maximum benefit in terms of making an impact.
You’ll bring a robust understanding of running a business unit or service, with a good understanding of commerciality, operations, digital, data and marketing.
You’ll rally your team around the vision and strategy, inspire a culture of continuous improvement and empower the team to deliver against an integrated approach to community resilience in the UK.
You’ll know what it takes to create effective educational products and services, collaborating with other internal teams, subject matter experts, learners and external partnerships to build an outstanding educational offer. You’ll understand the potential of technology to enhance educational experiences and harness opportunities to adopt technology appropriately.
You’ll manage a cross-functional Product Squad and a UK-wide network of skilled and trained educators delivering workshops to schools, youth groups and adult community groups across the UK.
Ultimately, you’ll ensure we provide relevant and effective education which supports people of all ages most impacted by crisis in the UK, particularly focusing on those with limited support, or ability to access that support.
