Design, build, and ship production-grade AI applications owning full stack from discovery to deployment and observability. | 8+ years full-stack engineering with production systems and LLM-backed applications, deep expertise in web technologies and cloud platforms, autonomous navigation of complex organizations. | Pearson's PSG-CP (Pearson Software Group - Content Platform) team is looking for a forward deployed engineer who shows up where the work is happening, listens to a problem that nobody has fully written down yet, and leaves with software that addresses it. Not a deck, not a spec, not a Jira epic - running software.    You sit closer to the customer than a typical engineer and closer to the code than a typical solutions architect. The job is to compress the distance between "we need something that does X" and "here, try this."    You will embed directly with our most strategic internal lines of business to drive AI adoption and ship working software against real problems. You will operate autonomously, thrive under ambiguity, and represent PSG-CP at the highest level inside the business. This is a significant responsibility — you'll play a key role in how AI shows up across Pearson.    What you'd actually be doing  * Going where the problem is. You will work directly with the internal stakeholders inside our different lines of business. Through real understanding of their pain points, their workflows, and the architecture of their current technical landscape, you'll design and build systems end to end for them. These are the people who will actually use what you build. You meet them on their ground, in their workflow, with their data.  * Conducting real discovery. You're not waiting for a finished brief. You sit with users, watch them work, ask the questions, and translate what you hear into something buildable. The discovery is part of the engineering job, not a step that happens before it.  * Building during the conversation. The first version often exists before the meeting ends. People react to working software very differently than they react to wireframes — your job is to give them something to react to as fast as possible.  * Working from messy inputs. Spreadsheets, PDFs, screenshots, recorded calls, half-written documents, contradictory emails from two stakeholders. You read all of it and turn it into something coherent. You don't ask people to clean up their inputs before you start.  * Shipping production AI applications. Beyond prototypes, you build real applications on top of frontier LLMs, agents, MCP servers, evaluation harnesses, retrieval systems, custom skills — that run in production against real workflows. You know how to evaluate what you've built, not just demo it.  * Iterating fast across many engagements. A typical engagement runs through many versions in a short window. Requirements shift every cycle. You don't get attached. You ship the next one.  * Owning the full stack. Frontend, backend, data, integrations, deployment, the URL you send the stakeholder, and the observability around it once it's live. There is usually no one else to hand pieces off to. If it isn't done, it's because you haven't done it yet.  * Codifying what works. When you find a pattern that ships across engagements — a prompt structure, an evaluation harness, an integration shim, an agent template — you push it back to the platform and engineering teams so the next FDE doesn't rebuild it. You make the rest of us better, not just yourself faster.  * Owning the relationship over time. The first prototype is the start, not the deliverable. You stay close to the line of business through the lifecycle of an engagement, identify new opportunities as they surface, and harden what graduates into production.    What we're looking for  * 8+ years of full-stack engineering experience, with meaningful time spent shipping production systems end to end. Background as a technical founder, FDE, or software engineer with consulting experience is all fair game.  * Strong CS fundamentals. Data structures, algorithms, system design. You can whiteboard a service architecture, talk through tradeoffs, and not flinch at a coding interview.  * Frontend depth. Modern React, TypeScript, real component architecture, state management you can defend, and the taste to build something that looks finished — not just functional.  * Backend depth in order of importance (Node.JS, Java, and Python). API design, data modeling, auth, error handling. Comfortable owning a service from request handler to schema.  * Production LLM experience. Advanced prompt engineering, agent development, evaluation frameworks, retrieval, and deployment at scale. You've shipped at least one real LLM-backed application that someone other than you used.  * Fluency with AI-assisted development tools and agentic coding. This is not a side note. The work moves at a pace that assumes you're using these tools efficiently, accurately, and rapidly. You should be able to demonstrate a clear process that delivers measurable results.  * Data fluency. Databases at a real working level, comfort with Python data tooling.  * Cloud and deployment fluency. AWS, GCP, or Azure — enough to put a service on a real URL behind real auth without filing a ticket. CI/CD, containers, observability.  * Integration experience. You've built things that talk to systems you didn't write. SSO, OAuth, third-party APIs, internal platforms, legacy databases.  * High agency. You navigate ambiguity inside a complex organization without needing someone to clear your path. You make calls and own them.  * High cooperation, low ego. Pearson is 30,000+ people. Forward deployed work crosses team lines constantly.  * Communication skills that work in both directions. You can sit in a room of executives and engineers, hold both threads at once, and not lose either audience. You can speak to end users about their problem and translate that into something other engineering teams can actually build against.  * Currency on what's changing. You stay close to the frontier of LLM capabilities, agent patterns, and AI product stacks.  * Education: Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent combination of education, training, and professional experience

Lead delivery and governance of statewide English language assessment programs coordinating cross-functional teams. | Requires proven experience delivering complex projects in regulated or educational environments and a project management qualification. | About Pearson  At Pearson, we add life to a lifetime of learning so everyone can realise the life they imagine. As the world's lifelong learning company, we help people build skills, make progress and transform their lives. In English Language Learning, our assessments — including PTE Academic, PTE Core and our Versant AI-scored tests — are trusted by governments, universities, employers and US state education agencies to make decisions that shape learners' futures.  The role  This project manager role underpins Pearson's US State Programs work within the ELL portfolio — specifically, the TELPAS and MOWR statewide English language assessments in Texas and Arizona, both underpinned by Versant automated spoken-scoring services. You'll drive delivery, governance and contractual control across these high-stakes programmes, working with experts in test development, automated scoring, psychometrics and technical development. You’ll also coordinate the managed exit from the AZELLA contract, and - as that work winds down - grow into the wider PTE portfolio and other government recognition initiatives. In summary, it's a delivery-led role, US-focussed, but within a global, matrixed environment, turning complex technical and scoring workflows into clear, manageable, deliverable plans.  What you'll do  * Lead delivery, governance and operational control across the TELPAS and MOWR statewide assessment programmes — managing contractual milestones, SOW deliverables, scoring-service dependencies, risk, budget and reporting obligations.  * Maintain delivery cadence across recurring annual cycles, live administrations, Versant AI engine-training windows and validation reporting.  * Own programme and project control: governance, RAID logs, dashboards and KPIs, with clear escalation of risks and issues.  * Coordinate across Versant AI Scoring Services, R&D, Test Development, Psychometrics, Engineering, Scoring Operations and Finance, plus external delivery partners.  * Coordinate the managed exit from the AZELLA contract — document archiving, lessons-learned and controlled data-deletion — while keeping ongoing programmes on track.  * Choose and adapt the right delivery approach (waterfall, Agile or hybrid), run retrospectives and lessons-learned, and support quality initiatives including ISO 9001 and ISO 27001.  * Coach colleagues in effective project management tools, disciplines and ways of working.  * As the role expands, support delivery across the wider PTE portfolio and contribute to government recognition and bidding activity.    What you'll bring  * Proven experience delivering complex projects or programmes, ideally in education, assessment or regulated environments.  * Comfort managing contractual delivery — SOW milestones, deliverables and reporting obligations — ideally in public-sector or statewide assessment contexts.  * A strong grasp of project governance, risk and issue management, and dependency planning.  * Confidence operating in global, cross-functional, matrixed teams, working alongside technical and psychometric colleagues.  * Fluency across both traditional and Agile / hybrid delivery approaches.  * A project management qualification (e.g. PMP/PMI, PRINCE2, M_o_R, Agile, equivalent) is required and we’re also looking for good experience running complex, cross-functional initiatives.  Competencies   * Project management leadership — owning and delivering complex projects end to end.  * Stakeholder management & communication — aligning and influencing senior, technical and external stakeholders with clear, structured messaging.  * Analytical thinking & problem-solving — making sense of complex delivery, contractual, psychometric and operational scenarios.  * Governance & delivery control — scope, risk and dependency management with an audit-aware mindset.  * Adaptability & continuous learning — thriving amid ambiguity, change and transition.  * Data & AI awareness — using dashboards, data visualisation and AI-scoring insight to sharpen reporting and delivery.    How you'll work Structured, proactive and delivery-focused, comfortable holding control and predictability through ambiguity and transition, and collaborative across functions and geographies.  Location & working pattern  US – Remote working 40 hours per week, with flexibility to support global (including UK) collaboration.  Compensation at Pearson is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, and specific location.

We're not here to maintain the status quo. We're rethinking how a global education company defines, trusts, and activates its most critical data assets. We're looking for a Lead, Data Governance (Master Data Management) to lead this charge: setting the strategy, defining the architecture, and driving the execution of Pearson's enterprise master data capabilities. You'll start with the Customer domain, working through the legacy complexity while simultaneously building the blueprints for how we govern Product, Supplier, and other critical domains in a fundamentally different way. This is a senior, player-coach role for someone who can hold two things at once: the pragmatism to tackle what's broken today, and the ambition to reinvent how an enterprise thinks about data. You will be shaping Pearson's philosophy around trusted, reusable, governed data and building the systems, products, processes, and culture to make that real. You'll operate as a thought leader to the business, not just a technical function. That means influencing how Pearson's most senior stakeholders understand and value their data, advocating for data as a strategic product, and helping the organization move from treating data as a byproduct of operations to treating it as a first-class asset.

Lead a product analytics team to drive data-informed decisions and improve educational product outcomes through rigorous analysis and experimentation. | 8+ years in product analytics with management experience, strong technical skills in SQL and analytics tools, excellent communication, and a focus on learning outcomes. | Manager, Data Analytics & Business Intelligence - Pearson Higher Education Description: This role aligns to Industry Level Titles such as Product Analytics Manager, or Lead Product Analytics. Location: Hoboken - Hybrid The role At Pearson, we are the world's digital learning company with more than 24,000 employees operating in 70 countries. We lead the education technology industry in design, service, and innovation. We are committed to bringing life to a lifetime of learning and to our talented team who make it all possible. By creating effective, engaging solutions, we provide boundless opportunities for learners at every stage of their journey around the world. We achieve this through cutting-edge technology, uncompromising service, and high-quality products that are engaging and easy to use. You will lead product analytics for Pearson's Higher Education courseware, integrations, and content authoring portfolio - products used by millions of students and tens of thousands of instructors. Your job is not to staff a reporting function. Your job is to make sure every product team in HE is making better decisions because of data: understanding how students and instructors actually use what we build, proving which bets pay off, and surfacing the opportunities our product managers couldn't see on their own. You will manage a small team of product analysts and partner directly with Heads of Product, PMs, designers, engineers, and learning science. You report into the HE product organization, not into a central data function - because analytics here is a product capability, not a service desk. What "good" looks like in this role We expect strong product analytics leaders to drive five uses of data. You will lead your team and your product partners against all five: • Understand actual behavior. Instrument products so we can see what students and instructors do, not what they say. Close the gap between stated needs and revealed behavior. • • Measure business and learning performance. Define and own the KPI trees for HE products - both commercial (activation, retention, revenue per learner) and learning (engagement-to-outcome conversion, time-on-task efficiency, assignment completion, demonstrable mastery gains). At Pearson, a product that drives revenue but not learning outcomes is a failure. Your metrics must reflect both. • • Prove which ideas work. Stand up and scale the experimentation practice across HE - A/B tests, holdouts, live-data prototypes. Coach PMs on test design, sample sizing, and reading results honestly (including the unwelcome ones). Kill bad ideas faster. • • Inform product decisions. Replace opinion-driven debates with evidence. When leadership, PMs, or stakeholders disagree, you produce the analysis that resolves the question - or makes clear the question can't be resolved with the data we have, and what we'd need to collect. • • Inspire new product opportunities. Mine our data - usage, outcomes, support, content interaction, instructor behavior - to surface opportunities no one asked you for. Some of the most valuable product work in this org should be initiated by your team, not handed to it. Responsibilities • Lead the product analytics team. Manage, coach, and grow a team of product analysts. Set the standard for analytical rigor, communication, and product partnership. Make every analyst on your team a stronger product thinker, not just a stronger SQL writer. • Partner with product leadership on strategy. Sit in roadmap and quarterly planning. Bring the data point of view to prioritization. Push back when proposed work has no measurable outcome attached. • Own the HE product KPI framework. Define the small set of metrics that matter - across commercial performance and learning outcomes - and make sure every team can see theirs in near-real time. • Drive instrumentation and telemetry. Work with engineering and data platform teams to define what we measure, where, and how. Treat instrumentation as a first-class product requirement, not an afterthought. • Lead and scale experimentation. Build the muscle, the tooling expectations, and the cultural norms for testing across HE products. • Surface opportunities. Run regular discovery-oriented analyses across the portfolio. Bring forward "we should look at this" insights that change roadmaps. • Communicate to executives. Translate analysis into a narrative HE and Pearson leadership can act on. Less dashboard, more decision. • Govern data quality. Hold the line on definitions, lineage, and trustworthiness. A wrong number that ships to a VP is a tax on every future decision. What we're looking for • 8+ years in product analytics, with at least 2-3 years managing analysts. You've done the work and you've built the people who do the work. • A demonstrable bias toward outcomes over outputs. You can point to product decisions, experiments, or roadmap changes that happened because of analysis you led - and to the resulting learner or business impact. • Fluency in the product operating model. You've worked directly with empowered product teams (or you've helped create them) and you understand the difference between feature teams and product teams. • Strong experimentation chops. You can design a test, size it, read it, and tell a PM when not to run one. • Technical depth: SQL (BigQuery, Snowflake), product analytics tools (Mixpanel or equivalent), Tableau, Python a plus. We expect you to be hands-on - you should still be able to run the analysis yourself, even when you don't have to. • Sharp communication. You can hold your own in a room of senior product and engineering leaders and translate ambiguity into clear questions and clearer answers. • Strongly preferred: experience in education, edtech, or any domain where learning, behavior change, or skill acquisition is the core user outcome. You should care that what we build actually improves learning outcomes. Compensation at Pearson is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, and specific location.
