We are seeking a strategic-minded, hands-on, data-driven, and collaborative Content strategist with a solid background in IT, Cloud, and/or Software development. We’re looking for someone excited and willing to perform work ranging from brass tacks implementation to data-driven strategy. This person should have an understanding of IT operations, cloud computing, and/or software development. Ideally this person should also have a solid understanding of how technology skills are taught — topics, progression from beginner to advanced — on Coursera and off.

This person will use internal data and market research to identify promising areas in which Coursera should create content related to IT and development. While part of the role involves identifying these key areas of strategic investment, another meaty part of the job will involve some consultation to our Partnerships team, who interface directly with companies and universities to help their content come to life.

This person will also support the Content Strategy Technology Sr. Manager on cross-functional initiatives that are helping to create and position content on the platform, such as our Services, Marketing, and Product teams.

Responsibilities:

• • Support the Sr. Manager of Technology Content Strategy to identify in-demand jobs and skills in IT/Cloud and software development, and translate them into relevant recommendations to meet learners’ needs.
  • You will need to keep different types of learners in mind, such as Consumer, Enterprise, and Degree learners.
  • Consultant to companies and universities (via Partnerships Managers) on strategic content opportunities in IT/Cloud and software development, as well as their projected value.
  • Collaborate with tech-minded colleagues to modify our IT/Cloud and software development taxonomy and framework to meet the changing needs of the industry
  • Present recommendations internally and externally to both SME (subject matter experts) and people without a background in IT/Cloud and software development

Basic Qualifications:
