India Content Strategy Manager

We are seeking a data-minded strategist with strong knowledge of both India’s higher education systems and how programs (Certificates, Degrees) are regulated. This person will provide strategic consultation to our University and Industry Partnerships teams about the content needs of our Enterprise, Degree, and Consumer learners in India. Across these three business lines, you will need to understand the needs of smaller or second tier universities in India; learners coming out of university and into the workforce; learners who aspire to get online degrees; and consumer and enterprise learners who use Coursera’s content to upskill in their current jobs, or enter new careers. 

In this position you will use on- and off-platform data to inform the company’s India content strategy. You will identify gaps and areas of over-saturation, and consult to our Partnerships teams on ways to fill these gaps with content from universities and companies across the world. Additionally, you will educate the rest of Coursera about India’s content landscape — market forces, growing industries, job demand, learner mindset, popular content, thought leaders, and more. The research will likely include competitive analyses as well as forward-looking research to identify trends of the future for India’s university and industry learners. This person will also be responsible for identifying and reaching out to key informants in the field for background on topic areas, and recommendations about what new content Coursera should add. In this role, you will be the India content expert within Coursera.
