This is a deliberately blended role. Roughly 70% is technical programme management of a major cross-organisation investment, working across Pearson business units and corporate functions including engineering, security, and legal. Roughly 30% is product leadership for an internal 'data product'—the enterprise AI telemetry dashboard that turns Pearson's AI investment decisions from opinion-led to evidence-led. You will drive how that dashboard looks and how it gets built, working with a cross-functional engineering pod inside OCTO.

You run the day-to-day delivery of AICP—from architecture handoff through business-unit onboarding to global scale—and act as product owner for the enterprise AI telemetry dashboard.
