At peopleworth, we support work where people and performance thrive. As part of our Employer Group, we work with a variety of forward-thinking partners and are excited to share this opportunity that sits within our growing group.
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.
Key Responsibilities
- Represent the voice of industry throughout curriculum design and course development activities
- 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
