Company Overview
The world is changing faster than ever. The fourth industrial revolution has seen an exponential growth in data and analytics. Keeping pace in an ever-changing landscape is quickly becoming the defining characteristic of both successful companies and individuals. It is with this in mind that Afterskills was founded in 2017 to fill the growing demand from both employers and individuals to upskill their technical, critical, and creative thinking skillsets. Founded by a University of Cambridge PhD, ex-BCGer and ex-Amazonian with a passion for sharing knowledge, we take learning seriously – both internally and externally – as knowledge is one of the most valuable assets any business or person can possess.
As the pace of change for analytic skills continues to increase requiring businesses to continuously seek out new employees with relevant experience, Afterskills is transforming the corporate engagement landscape by combining in-demand skills training and enablement with various consulting services (e.g., skills gap analysis, learning outcome assessments, solution development and support, etc.) We currently work across a number of clients and sectors, from large corporates to mid-size consultancies and private equity portfolio companies, as well as a number of business schools. The sheer breadth of customers Afterskills works with – combined with triple digit growth over the past three years – highlights the need for these services and products in the market. This growth has been further compounded by the need for companies to rapidly change their ways of working in response to the current pandemic where data literacy and analytics has been further pushed to the forefront as a strategic requirement.
Our Vision
Our vision is to be the premier partner for businesses and individuals looking to exploit the large asymmetry in supply and demand for technically literate individuals with business acumen. We understand the most important asset any business has is its people, and companies that invest in their people will always have an advantage over their competitors. By solidifying our position in this space, we will help companies see the value of learning and development as a core competitive advantage. Additionally, we will support individuals looking to bolster their professional toolkit by adding the most in demand skillsets in the job market.
Always wanting to practice what we preach, our business will continually learn, develop and grow our own skillsets. Rather than simply teaching technical skills, we want to learn what challenges companies are facing in the data and analytics space. By staying active in the analytics consulting sector, we will attain invaluable knowledge and use cases that we then parlay into best-in-class enablement and upskilling and reskilling courses. In doing so, we aspire to move away from the traditional learning and development model to one where we offer not only in-class lecture series but strategic data analytics consulting services to help companies solve their toughest problems. Through this we will truly enable companies to take the learnings forward in a sustainable fashion. By bridging the gap between enablement (learning and development) and consulting, Afterskills provides our team with a constant learning curve for their own personal development, as well as a mechanism to differentiate ourselves in the market by having best-in-class knowledge of what challenges companies face and how best to support them in their growth.
Job Description
We are looking for a Content Delivery Manager to join us in helping meet demand as our company enters its next phase of growth. You’ll have the opportunity to shadow a few classes to learn our teaching style before getting involved delivering alongside a senior instructor to some of the world’s premiere companies and business schools. You’ll become an expert in topics such as Applied Business Statistics & Probability, Excel Analytics, Data Storytelling and more! As part of our commitment to you, you will receive robust training and support along the way as you learn our curriculum, in effect making you an expert in a number of highly sought-after skills.
As a Content Delivery Manager you will develop in-depth knowledge of how to translate data and insight into a business context as well as improve your public speaking acumen and instructing ability. Preferred skills for those applying for this role include a background in consulting and data analytics, although neither is a requirement. The delivery schedule for our courses will be virtual for the foreseeable future and based primarily in and around London when physical deliveries become appropriate. We are happy to be flexible around school schedules, although a minimum commitment is required. We are offering a competitive day rate and if there’s a good fit, there is potential to move into a full-time role.
Delivery times for our courses generally run from 9:00-17:00 and we ask that those fast-tracked through the process shadow a learning series (i.e. the full delivery of a curriculum) to get a feel for what is required of the role.
About You
- Entrepreneurial mind-set: Be scrappy! You’re someone that doesn’t mind rolling up her sleeves and getting into the detail, execution and delivery.
- Great communicator: You’re able to communicate to a wide audience, from senior executives to associates and can influence effectively both orally and written.
- Thirst for knowledge: You have a mindset that ‘every day is a school day’ and the thought of learning something new every day energizes you.
- Ambitious: You’re passionate about big goals and lofty aspirations and are excited by challenges in both your personal and professional life.
- Bias for action: You not only enjoy but gravitate towards challenges where the path to a solution is ambiguous as you would rather blaze your own trail than follow a well-trodden path.
Preferred Relevant Experience
- Bachelor's degree and strong academic record; advanced graduate degree (e.g., Quantitative Masters, MBA, PhD, etc.) preferred
- Familiarity with data analytics including but not limited to basic statistics and probability (t-tests, confidence intervals) and Excel
- Previous experience with client-facing interactions in a consulting and/or investment banking role
- Previous experience as a teaching assistant and general comfort with public speaking engagements a plus
