Online Learning Lead (11-12-month Fixed-term/Remote)

About this role

ABOUT GENERATION:
At Generation, we believe in the power of employment to change lives. We are a global nonprofit organization that supports adults to achieve economic mobility through employment. Generation trains and places adult learners of all ages into careers that are otherwise inaccessible, working in partnership with governments, employers, and other system actors. We also conduct original research and share data insights on high-priority global workforce transition topics to inform decision-making by workforce system stakeholders. Launched in 2015, Generation comprises a global hub (Generation You Employed, or GYE) and a network of in-country affiliates. To date, the network has 150,000+ graduates and 23,000+ employers across 50 professions and 17 countries.
When learners join Generation, 91% are unemployed, of which nearly half are long-term unemployed. Three months after completing our program, graduates have a 78% job placement rate, rising to 88% within six months. Of our employed graduates, 79% are hired by repeat employers who have previously hired Generation graduates, and 89% are in jobs directly related to the profession for which we have trained them. Employed graduates immediately earn an average of 3-4X their previous earnings. Two to five years after graduation, 77% of our alumni from upper-middle income countries continue to meet their daily financial needs and 63% can save for the future. To date, Generation’s global graduates have earned more than $1.9 billion in wages. Generation graduates typically have a secondary school background, 52% are female, 28% have dependents, and the majority identify with underrepresented communities in their country.
Position Overview:
This role will lead the testing, evaluation, implementation, and scaling of AI-enabled learning and instructor-facing tools across Generation's LATAM and Europe regions. The role will be responsible for identifying high-impact opportunities for AI-enabled learning, establishing pilot hypotheses and success measures, generating evidence on effectiveness, and translating successful interventions into scalable learning models.
The role will support the Online Team's broader AI and learning technology agenda, including the effective adoption, implementation, and evolution of Canvas and other learning technologies across the region. Working closely with country teams, implementation teams, vendors, and technical stakeholders, the role will ensure AI-enabled learning solutions are effectively embedded into learner and instructor experiences and continuously improved through evidence, feedback, and iteration.
Operating at the intersection of curriculum design, learning science, instructional delivery, and applied AI, the role will help shape the evolution of Generation's AI-enabled learning strategy through regional implementation, pilot outcomes, learner and instructor insights, and recommendations for future product enhancements and scaling decisions.
The role will also act as a key partner to external AI and learning technology providers, helping identify opportunities for product improvements, influencing feature development, and ensuring solutions continue to meet the needs of learners, instructors, and country teams.
