ROLE SUMMARY

Owns the pedagogical architecture and learning system design of digital and blended Higher Education products.

This role defines how learning works at a system level – from skill progression and mastery definitions to misconception handling, adaptivity, feedback and mastery logic; ensuring experiences are not just engaging, but instructionally effective, measurable and scalable.

The Senior Learning Design is embedded within product pods as the authority on learning science and learning system behaviour, partnering with Product, UX and Engineering to translate the product vision into learning systems that demonstrably improve outcomes. 
 

WHAT YOU’LL DO

1. Own Pedagogical Architecture 
   Design how learning works across the product – defining progression, mastery, practice and assessment flows in cohesive, evidence-based learning blueprints.

1. Define Adaptive Logic 
   Translate pedagogy into system behaviour by designing adaptive pathways, remediation and stretch logic, and specifying how the system responds to learner performance and why.

1. Model Misconceptions & Diagnostics 
   Make learning measurable by modelling misconceptions, defining diagnostic signals and designing targeted interventions to improve understanding.

1. Design Learning Interactions (with UX)
