Job description
What You'll Own
The day-to-day commercial performance of Knowledge Suite and Pearson Live Training, including accountability for their P&L: revenue, margin, forecasting, and budget management, within ECT's overall plan
Commercial strategy recommendations for both offerings, including the positioning and differentiation that explain why each wins against its competitors
Pricing and packaging proposals, developed with finance and sales and aligned with ECT leadership
Go-to-market execution: segmentation, buyer personas, launch plans, sales enablement, and partner and client positioning
The learning roadmap for both environments, including the evidence-based case for which learning experiences are prioritized, developed, and brought to market
Cross-functional coordination, so offerings launch on time, on budget, and to a quality bar that enterprise clients trust
What You'll Do
Discovery and strategy
Build current insight into enterprise transformation, career success, technology skilling, and AI-enabled transformation, using research and customer discovery to identify high-value opportunities
Analyze competitors and adjacent offerings to sharpen differentiation and strengthen Pearson's market position
Develop and propose the vision and strategy for both offerings, including how AI can strengthen learning outcomes, customer value, and market differentiation, then help sales, delivery, and partner teams understand the agreed direction
Define what effective learning should look like for employees, helping learners and organizations understand what great performance looks like in their roles
Roadmap and portfolio
Build and maintain the portfolio roadmap, balancing client demand, commercial return, learning quality, and delivery capacity while recommending priorities for leadership review
Define requirements and success metrics, and work with Evidence & Design, including learning designers and psychometricians, to ensure the offerings are evidence-based and delivering measurable value for customers and learners
Partner with product management and technical teams to align the platform product roadmap with portfolio priorities, learner experience needs, and enterprise customer requirements
Use outcomes data and learner performance to improve the portfolio and recommend when to invest, evolve, or retire learning
Apply AI tools in your own portfolio work, such as prototyping, hypothesis testing, and synthesizing customer and market data, while identifying where AI can responsibly enhance enterprise learning experiences
Commercial and go-to-market
Develop pricing, packaging, and business cases that are commercially sound and ready for finance and executive review
Partner with marketing to develop positioning, messaging, and campaigns that land with HR, L&D, and business leaders
Equip sales and solutioning teams with pitch narratives, demos, ROI stories, value messages, and client-ready materials, supporting key client conversations alongside senior colleagues
Gather feedback from enterprise clients and field teams, then turn it into actionable input for strategy and roadmap decisions
Coordinate across ELS functions, including sales, solutioning, marketing, delivery, finance, technology, and operations, to build trust and support clear decision-making in a matrixed environment
Contribute the perspective of these two offerings to ECT planning cycles, portfolio reviews, and leadership forums
About You

Strong data fluency, with the ability to use evidence to make clear portfolio and investment recommendations
Experience running customer discovery and translating findings into strategy, roadmap, and go-to-market decisions
Proven ability to work with enterprise sales teams and influence across functions without direct authority
