Coursera was launched in 2012 by two Stanford Computer Science professors, Andrew Ng and Daphne Koller, with a mission to provide universal access to world-class learning. It is now one of the largest online learning platforms in the world, with 92 million registered learners as of Sept. 30, 2021. Coursera partners with over 250 leading university and industry partners to offer a broad catalog of content and credentials, including Guided Projects, courses, Specializations, certificates, and bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Institutions around the world use Coursera to upskill and reskill their employees, citizens, and students in many high-demand fields, including data science, technology, and business. Coursera became a B Corp in February 2021.
We are seeking a strategic, data-driven, and entrepreneurial strategist for the Computer Science & Software Engineering domain. This person should have extensive knowledge of the ecosystem of skills and technologies around Computer Science & Software Engineering. In particular the ideal candidate can, with minimal research, discuss curriculum strategy with industry experts on topics such as software engineering, cybersecurity, computer programming, mobile/web development, etc. This person will use internal data and market research to identify promising areas in which Coursera should create content related to Computer Science & Software Engineering. While part of the role involves identifying these key areas of strategic investment, another meaty part of the job will involve consultation to companies and universities to help their content come to life. This consultation will be done in coordination with our Partnerships Managers, and will range in scope from helping to identify specific topics in Computer Science & Software Engineering, to reviewing proposed curricula, to creating multi-year content plans that cut across departments and content formats (e.g., Courses, Degrees). This person will also work cross-functionally with other teams that are helping to create and position content on the platform, such as our Services, Marketing, and Product teams. In short, you should have a deep knowledge of Computer Science & Software Engineering, must be very comfortable using data to make strategic recommendations, and also be passionate about education in technical fields.
