AI Portfolio Lead

Multiverse

Multiverse is the upskilling platform for AI and Tech adoption. We have partnered with 1,500+ companies to deliver a new kind of learning that's transforming today’s workforce. Our upskilling apprenticeships are designed for people of any age and career stage to build critical AI, data, and tech skills. Our learners have driven $2bn+ ROI for their employers, using the skills they’ve learned to improve productivity and measurable performance. In April 2026, we announced $70 million in strategic funding, led by Schroders Capital, with participation from StepStone Group, Lightspeed Venture Partners and General Catalyst. At an increased valuation of $2.1bn, the round makes us Europe’s first EdTech double unicorn. But we aren’t stopping there. With a strong operational footprint and 800+ employees, we have ambitious plans to continue scaling. We’re building a world where tech skills unlock people’s potential and output. Join Multiverse and power our mission to equip the workforce to win in the AI era. The Portfolio Lead curates a world-class UK apprenticeship product set focused on Data upskilling. Working as one of two dedicated leads within our Data vertical, you are a data-literate strategist who isn’t shy about your passion for how data literacy, machine learning and advanced analytics are reshaping the workforce. You have a deep understanding of the data tooling market, both now and how it will continue to evolve. Practically, you will own the roadmap and key performance metrics for a set of products, proactively scoping new UK releases to grow bookings and influencing cross-organisational decisions on how to maintain and improve programme retention and quality as we scale. You are the technical point of contact for GTM discovery, often supporting complex deal structures or tooling partnership meetings to maximise alignment between our data products and client needs. You also deeply understand what effective, high-impact learning looks like in a technical data context and will support our Admissions, Delivery, Learning and Technology/Product teams to evolve their processes as we launch new products or improve our existing offerings. As we release synchronous and blended learning models, you will be vital in quality-assuring our products and supporting other members of the Learning team (such as Senior Programme Designers and Technical Learning Designers) to make the right choices to maximise learner engagement. WHAT YOU’LL DO Portfolio Strategy * Data Product Roadmap: Own the development and iteration of a sub set of our Data product offerings by analysing data (both internal and external) to improve net new bookings, customer retention and learner retention * Market Alignment: Validate our assumptions and competitor analysis in the market in partnership with Product Marketing, shaping how we communicate technical value and competitor positioning * Horizon Scanning: Stay ahead of the curve on data and tooling trends to identify new skills development pain points and opportunities * Investment Validation: Support GTM, Finance and our Delivery teams to scope custom data offerings, balancing market potential against the technical investment required. Product Development, Launch & Iteration * Learning Squad Management and Prioritisation: work collaboratively with stakeholders across the business to create compliant apprenticeship curricula which meet learner and client needs. Use data and insights (qualitative and quantitative) to identify and prioritise opportunities for growth and improvement, including managing the backlog and prioritisation of improvements for wider Learning team members and teams external to Learning * Organisational enablement and readiness: support partners in Delivery, Admissions and Product to assess and enable the readiness of our systems and people to deliver a high quality learning experience * Proactive Risk Mitigation: Identify and escalate risks to all levels in the organisation, including C Suite, to ensure products remain on track to hit quality benchmarks. * Agile Feedback Integration: Establish and lead rigorous feedback loops for your products. You won't just "collect" feedback; you will find effective ways to synthesise what you are hearing from different sources including our own internal delivery teams, learners and clients * Expert Credibility: Serve as the internal and external "voice of the data practitioner," building trust with technical leaders and stakeholders at all levels WHAT YOU’LL BRING * Data Domain Expertise: A strong background in data upskilling with an existing network of experts and sources you trust to help you stay at the cutting edge—you understand the difference between a data warehouse and a data lake, and you know which libraries or tools are currently (or soon to be) essential for the modern data stack in a range of customer types * Product or Curriculum Launch Experience: Proven experience working with a broad cross functional group of stakeholders to launch learning products and their ongoing improvements * Confident Written and Oral Communication at all levels: You switch with ease from talking about the technical specifications of a new learning lab environment, to effectively raising a risk with the SLT on product performance, to convincing a Chief Data Officer on the ROI your products bring to his business metrics. You actively enjoy thinking about how to influence these different stakeholders * Ability to distinguish between signal and noise: You know how to make stakeholders feel heard whilst holding the line on what is right to prioritise and why. You effectively balance the need to improve learner experience with the practical realities of working with constrained resources * A strong vision for applied learning: you strongly believe in the power of apprenticeship and applied learning models to supercharge the acquisition of data skills and you bring vision and expertise both internally and externally to how to do this effectively * AI enabled practices: you are confident in building and using AI workflows to automate research, development and reporting tasks, and are excited about embracing AI to help you spend time on the tasks which most need your expertise PREFERRED SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS * Relevant industry experience: work experience in a data aligned field such as Data Science, Analytics or Engineering * Instructional Literacy: Experience with cohort-based or online content creation, specifically within technical or professional training Regulatory Knowledge: Experience working within regulated structures (e.g., UK Apprenticeship Levy) is a significant plus. Benefits * Time off - 27 days holiday, plus 5 additional days off: 1 life event day, 2 volunteer days, 2 company-wide wellbeing days (M-Powered Weekend) and 8 bank holidays per year * Health & Wellness- private medical Insurance with Bupa, a medical cashback scheme, life insurance, gym membership & wellness resources through Wellhub and access to Spill - all in one mental health support * Hybrid work offering - for most roles we collaborate in the office three days per week with the exception of Coaches and Instructors who collaborate in the office once a month * Work-from-anywhere scheme - you'll have the opportunity to work from anywhere, up to 10 days per year * Space to connect: Beyond the desk, we make time for weekly catch-ups, seasonal celebrations, and have a kitchen that’s always stocked!

Teya

Hello. We’re Teya. Teya was founded on a simple belief: local businesses deserve better. They are the cafés, restaurants, salons, shops and entrepreneurs that bring character to our high streets, create jobs and keep communities moving. Yet for too long, financial services has made life harder for them - with clunky tools, poor support and complexity that gets in the way of running a business. Teya exists to change that. We’re building a financial platform for local businesses across Europe - one built around simple tools, thoughtful design and real human support. Our Members rely on us to help them run their business with confidence, and that responsibility shapes the way we work. We move fast. We care about quality. We stay close to the detail. And we believe great performance and genuine hospitality should go hand in hand. If you want to build meaningful products, solve real problems and make a genuine difference for local businesses, we’d love to hear from you The Mission Own the paid media engine at Teya — across Meta, TikTok, Google and other paid platforms — translating creative hypotheses, ICP intelligence and pricing offers into qualified merchant acquisition, with a strict payback discipline. You'll run paid performance, the lead-qualification engine that connects marketing to sales, and the paid media flights inside our hyperlocal engine across 9 European markets. What you'll do Paid media leadership * Own the paid media engine across Meta, TikTok, Google and other paid platforms — pacing, channel mix, CPA accountability, daily kill discipline across 9 markets. * Apply tiered allocation rules across our market portfolio (scale spend in top markets, test spend in tier 1 markets, maintain spend in satellites). Use agents to enforce them; override with judgement when the data demands. * Make the call on scaling, killing, sequencing across markets. Agents flag; you decide. * Manage platform and agency relationships, ensuring sharp briefs and clear performance bars. Hyperlocal flights * Run the paid media inside our hyperlocal engine alongside the VP — seasonal flights, multi-week density saturation in hospitality-dense cities, paired with field/inside sales saturation. * Layer the media mix per city: DOOH + programmatic display as the control layer; local radio, print press, guerrilla activation, YouTube brand or billboards depending on market. * Pair with field/inside sales on saturation density — paired media + sales density is how SMB CAC is broken at scale. Lead qualification & sales connection * Own the lead-qualification engine: every inbound lead scored against the ICP, qualified routed to sales, unqualified routed to nurture. This is the integration that connects our marketing motion to our sales motion. * Partner with Sales on capacity, handoffs, in-country pacing. Sales-marketing alignment lives in your pod. Measurement & incrementality * Use the org's attribution & incrementality stack as the source of truth on what's actually driving growth. Stop spending on what isn't. * Bring incrementality discipline to channel mix decisions — geo-lift, hold-out testing, MMM reads. The Monthly Growth Council reads your reallocation recommendations. * Own the digital-side input into the payback discipline that gates every investment. How you work — AI-first At Teya, we operate as an AI-first growth organisation: humans set strategy, judgement and merchant relationships; AI agents handle volume, signal, drafts and orchestration. We're not hiring people who use AI to do the same things faster — we're hiring people who restructure how the work gets done. What this means for your application * Bring your stack. We expect candidates to come with their own AI agent setup — the workflows, prompts, custom GPTs, Claude projects, MCP integrations or n8n flows you've built to multiply your own output. Show us how you've replaced manual toil with leverage. * Build, don't just use. We hire people who can spec an agent, brief it, test it and ship it — not people who wait for someone else to build the tool. You don't have to be technical, but you have to be agentic. * AI portfolio in the interview. Be ready to walk us through 2–3 specific examples where AI multiplied your work — what you built, what it replaced, what you learned, and how you'd port that into Teya's stack. You'll likely have * 8+ years in digital / paid performance / growth marketing, ideally in fintech, SaaS, technology or digitally sophisticated, product-led businesses. Payments / merchant services / SME-focus a strong plus. * Proven success running paid media at scale — you've owned a sizeable monthly media budget across Meta, TikTok, Google and other paid platforms, and made CPA / payback land. You can walk us through specific kills and scales. * Built the marketing↔sales bridge before — lead scoring, qualification, hand-off rituals, capacity coordination. Sales-marketing alignment isn't theoretical to you. * Multi-market experience — running paid across multiple European markets with different cultural contexts, regulations and platform realities. * Incrementality-fluent — geo-lift, MMM, hold-out testing, causal attribution. You don't confuse last-click data with what drives growth. * Strong leader and operator — define vision and run weekly performance reviews with the same fluency. * Agentic by default — you already use AI agents in your own paid workflow (bid management, creative testing, audience generation, reporting). * Central London, 4 days/week — close collaboration with the VP, Creative, Marketing Engineers and Sales teams. The Perks * Physical and mental health support through our partnership with GymPass giving free access to over 1,500 gyms in the UK, 1-1 therapy, meditation sessions, digital fitness and nutrition apps * Our company offers extended and improved maternity and paternity leave choices, giving employees more flexibility and support * Cycle-to-Work Scheme * Health and Life Insurance * Pension Scheme * 25 days of Annual Leave (+ Bank Holidays) * Office snacks every day * Friendly, comfortable and informal office environment in Central London Teya is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to creating an inclusive environment where everyone regardless of race, ethnicity, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, disability, religion, or background can thrive and do their best work. We believe that a diverse team leads to better ideas, stronger outcomes, and a more supportive workplace for all. If you require any reasonable adjustments at any stage of the recruitment process whether for interviews, assessments, or other parts of the application—we encourage you to let us know. We are committed to ensuring that every candidate has a fair and accessible experience with us.
