Learning Program Manager Sciences

What you'll own

• The team. Four Design Leads covering Biology (Tahsili), Chemistry (Tahsili), Science (Middle School & Nafes), and Bio & Chem (International) plus content creators and a QA contractor. You own their goals, their 1:1s, their feedback, their growth, and hiring for the seats that are still open.

• The delivery plan. The science content roadmap end-to-end: what gets built, in what order, by whom, by when, across Grades 7 12 on both the National and International tracks. At any moment, you know what's on track, what's slipping, and what you're doing about it.

• The operating cadence. Capacity planning, production planning, prioritisation calls, and unblocking. You run the rituals that keep a multi-subject, multi-grade pipeline moving without weekly firefighting.

• The quality bar. Working with Learning Excellence and the Head Teachers to set design standards, review gates, and QA workflows so quality is a repeatable process, not a heroic effort by whoever cares most.

• The feedback loop. Exit Ticket, Diagnostic, End-of-Chapter, and Learning Gain data already exist. You make it actually change what gets built next term, in partnership with Data and Learning Excellence.

• Cross-functional delivery. Head Teachers, Learning Excellence, Product, Engineering, Data, customer experience and School Ops all touch this pipeline. You're the person who makes those handoffs work.

• Scale. Build the templates, trackers, playbooks, and review rituals that let content volume grow without headcount growing in lockstep including our move toward AI-assisted content production.

• Must have 3 5+ years managing people (5 preferred; 3 acceptable if you're exceptional elsewhere).

• Background in tech or education ideally both. Edtech platforms, Saudi tech startups, or learning organisations that ship on a schedule.

• Proven delivery in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment.

• Decisive, self-driven, comfortable making a call with incomplete information and owning the outcome.

• Fluent Arabic and strong professional English.

• Based in Riyadh.

• Nice to have Certification in instructional design or e-learning

• Familiarity with Saudi national assessments Tahsili, Qudrat, Nafes

• Experience managing distributed teams, contractors, or freelance production pools

• Comfort with data tooling, dashboards, and AI-assisted content workflows

• Experience in international or multicultural teams
