Job Description

This is an entrepreneurial leadership role. We are looking for someone to build and scale a world-class executive education business, not maintain one. Cambridge Spark is the UK's leading provider of AI and data workforce development, having trained over 10,000 professionals for some of the country's most prominent organisations. We are now building a premium executive education division that brings the same depth of expertise to senior leaders and the C-suite.

Job Responsibility

  • P&L and Commercial Strategy: Full accountability for revenue, margins, and profitability of the executive education portfolio
  • Budget management including faculty costs, programme delivery, and team headcount
  • Commercial model development: pricing strategy, packaging, cost-to-serve, and revenue forecasting
  • Monthly reporting to the exCo and contribution to board-level updates
  • Portfolio Development: Design and develop our portfolio of executive education products, ensuring each is commercially viable and educationally outstanding
  • University Partnerships: Identify, approach, and negotiate partnerships with leading UK and international universities and business schools
  • Structure partnership agreements covering revenue sharing, faculty access, IP ownership, brand licensing, and academic governance
  • Build a diversified portfolio of university relationships to support different programme themes and market segments
  • Manage ongoing partner relationships, ensuring alignment on quality, curriculum, and market positioning
  • Faculty, Coaching, and Talent Pool: Recruit and onboard world-class faculty (academics, industry practitioners, subject matter experts)
  • Standardise rates and contracting
  • Build relationships with faculty at partner universities
  • Design the coaching model across all programmes: session formats, frequency, quality frameworks, and feedback loops
  • Recruit and manage a pool of executive coaches with clear performance standards
  • Lead an internal programme management team that owns end to end programme delivery, ensuring customer satisfaction for each programme
  • Recruit and manage a pool of contractors responsible for facilitating sessions, gold standard learner experience and programme design that aligns to customer objectives
  • Define roles, performance metrics, and development pathways
  • Service Excellence: Set and enforce a gold standard for executive education delivery
  • Define the end-to-end client experience, from initial engagement through programme delivery to post-programme support
  • Implement quality assurance: participant NPS, client satisfaction tracking, faculty performance reviews
  • Own the operational playbook: venue selection, event management, digital platform integration, participant communications
  • Lead the design and execution of high-profile events such as summits and executive gatherings
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with Sales Directors to build a pipeline of high-value opportunities, with pricing guidance and client insight
  • Work with the Curriculum and Chief AI Officer teams to keep programme content cutting-edge and differentiated
  • Collaborate with Marketing on positioning, thought leadership, and brand development for the executive education portfolio
  • Coordinate with Technology to ensure our learning platform supports executive-level digital experiences

Requirements

  • You come from the L&D or executive education practice of a major professional services firm (KPMG, EY, Deloitte, McKinsey, BCG) where you designed and delivered senior leadership programmes or you built executive education at an organisation such as Emeritus, GetSmarter/2U
  • P&L ownership: Proven track record of owning and growing a revenue line in executive education or professional services. You understand unit economics, cost-to-serve, and margin management
  • Commercial acumen: You think creatively about how to generate revenue, not just manage it. You spot opportunities in client conversations, market gaps, and partnership models that others miss. You are comfortable shaping propositions, testing new formats, and moving quickly to capture demand
  • University partnerships: Direct experience structuring and managing partnerships with universities for co-branded programmes, including brand licensing, faculty access, and revenue-sharing arrangements
  • Faculty and talent management: Experience recruiting, managing, and quality-assuring a network of faculty, coaches, and programme delivery professionals. You have built rate cards, performance frameworks, and scalable talent pools
  • Programme design: You have taken executive education products from concept to market: long-format programmes, short workshops, or membership communities
  • Service mindset: You understand that executive education is a service business where client experience, customisation, and relationship management are paramount

Nice to have

  • Deep understanding of AI and data as a subject domain, with credibility at C-suite level on these topics
  • Existing network of faculty, academics, and industry practitioners in AI, data, and technology
  • Experience operating across UK and European markets
  • Familiarity with digital learning platforms and blended programme delivery

What we offer

  • Pension with 4% matched contributions, opportunity to opt into salary sacrifice scheme
  • 25 days holiday + Flexi bank holidays + 1 day off on your birthday
  • A day for volunteering
  • Enhanced Maternity and Paternity Leave
