Help build something entirely new with a global leader in education.

Marble Mayne Recruitment is delighted to be supporting a world-leading international education group in the appointment of a Head of Course Development for an exciting new strategic initiative.

This is a genuinely unique opportunity to join an organisation at the forefront of premium education and play a pivotal role in launching a brand-new self-paced learning offering. Rather than stepping into an established function, you'll have the rare opportunity to build an innovative educational product from the ground up, shaping how high-quality GCSE and A-Level courses are designed, developed and delivered for students across the world.

This is a fully remote role, open to candidates based anywhere in the UK, offering the flexibility to work from home while collaborating with an ambitious international team.

The Role

As Head of Course Development, you'll lead the creation of a new portfolio of self-paced GCSE and A-Level courses. You'll recruit and manage the course development team, establish quality standards and production processes, oversee instructional design, content development and assessment, and ensure delivery to ambitious project timelines.

Working closely with colleagues across product, operations and marketing, you'll help shape a market-leading online learning experience from concept through to launch. This is a rare opportunity to leave your mark on a completely new educational offering.

As the new product grows, there is also the potential for this role to evolve into a longer-term leadership position within the organisation.

About You

We're looking for an experienced education leader with a strong understanding of curriculum development and pedagogy, ideally across GCSE and A-Level. You'll bring experience leading course or curriculum development, managing educational teams, delivering complex programmes to fixed deadlines, and be someone who thrives in a fast-paced, build-from-scratch environment. Experience of online or asynchronous learning would be highly advantageous.

If you're excited by the prospect of building something from scratch, leading a talented team and helping shape the future of online education within a globally recognised organisation, we'd love to hear from you.
