This hybrid role blends delivery, curriculum design, and program development, ideal for a flexible, self-motivated individual with a growth mindset who thrives in consultant-like, ambiguous environments, constantly finding solutions to new problems.

• Develop and implement standardized training regimens and SOPs tailored for cross-cultural, regional, and international implementation partners.
• Translate core AI and Python concepts into engaging, beginner-friendly lessons sensitive to language diversity and digital fluency levels.

2. US Programme & Business Development (SMEs, Colleges, Universities, K12, communities)

• Manage the continuity and expansion of SLL's US programs, particularly within its extensive network of 140+ community colleges and universities spanning 40+ states.
• Work with the team to position SL2 as a leading partner in AI and emerging tech education for the US community college and vocational sector.

• Lead the creation of consulting/sales decks, training decks, and other content as a core part of the role.
• Contribute to productizing key experiential learning offerings such as hands-on coding challenges and platform-based simulated work experiences.
• Help localize material for US-based institutions, aligning with skills frameworks and employer demand.
• Co-deliver experiential coding/skilling events, ensuring the core product is designed for global scalability and is adaptable to various educational levels, including tailoring project focus for different competitions for community college and university students.

What We're Looking For

• HigherEd/SME Training Experience: Minimum of 2 years in education, training, or facilitation working with HigherEd/SMEs, including at least 1 year focused on technical or digital skills. Experience working across cultures and time zones is highly valued.
