**Role Overview**  
We are seeking an experienced Industry Subject Matter Expert to help shape a professional learning programme focused on applied artificial intelligence. This role will ensure the curriculum reflects current industry practice, emerging trends, and the real-world capabilities professionals need to succeed in an AI-enabled workplace.

Working alongside academic contributors and learning design specialists, you will provide industry insight, challenge assumptions, and help create a programme that balances academic rigour with practical application. This is a strategic advisory and curriculum development role rather than a teaching-focused position.

-   Provide expert guidance on current and emerging AI applications, technologies, and workplace practices
-   Review and validate curriculum content to ensure relevance, accuracy, and practical value
-   Advise on professional AI workflows, agentic AI, governance, responsible AI adoption, and organisational implementation approaches
-   Translate rapidly evolving industry developments into clear learning priorities and outcomes
-   Contribute expertise on how professionals can apply learning directly within their own work environments
-   Participate in collaborative curriculum planning sessions with academic and learning design stakeholders
-   Challenge and refine programme content to strengthen employability, workplace relevance, and professional impact
-   Build consensus across diverse stakeholder groups while advocating for practical industry needs
-   Support the credibility and industry positioning of the programme through professional expertise and networks

## Requirements

-   Demonstrated experience working within applied artificial intelligence, digital transformation, or a closely related field
-   Minimum five years of relevant professional experience, with strong evidence of current industry practice
-   Track record of delivering AI initiatives, transformation programmes, or technology-enabled business outcomes
-   Ability to engage confidently with senior stakeholders and subject matter experts
-   Strong understanding of AI implementation within organisational and team environments
-   Experience evaluating emerging technologies and translating them into business or professional applications
-   Excellent communication, presentation, and stakeholder engagement skills
-   Ability to balance conceptual thinking with practical execution and workplace relevance
-   Demonstrated ability to influence, persuade, and build consensus across diverse groups
-   Experience contributing to strategic initiatives, programme design, advisory work, or thought leadership activities

## Benefits

-   Collaborative, people-centred performance culture
-   Opportunities to grow in a fast-paced environment
-   Exposure to innovative learning and technology initiatives
-   Opportunity to contribute to the future of professional AI education
