• Own project timelines and release schedules for social sciences courses.
• Use tools like Google Sheets and Jira to plan, track and manage work.
• Monitor progress and solve issues quickly to keep delivery on track.
• Ensure every course meets our standards for clarity, accuracy and pedagogy.
• Guide your team on workflows and ways of working that make delivery smoother.
• Review and refine content processes for efficiency and quality.
• Keep an eye on curriculum updates and competitor resources to inform priorities.
• Balance day-to-day leadership with shaping longer-term improvements.
