[Hiring] Head of Learning Solutions @Andela

Role Description

Andela’s Solutions organization designs and delivers AI, Cloud, Data, and Learning solutions for enterprise clients. The Learning Solutions Manager owns learning as a solution vertical within this portfolio — responsible for identifying and validating opportunities, designing programs, building commercial repeatability, and driving measurable client outcomes.

This is not a traditional L&D role as the Head of Learning Solutions. You operate like a product and business leader:

• Validating demand
• Designing for outcomes
• Packaging for scale
• Iterating on data

You will start as an individual contributor with scope to build a team as the vertical matures. You’ll work closely with our key partners like GitHub, OpenAI, and Anthropic, and team with a variety of cross-functional teams including Talent Operations, Delivery, Sales, Partnerships, and Marketing.

Exceptional Leadership

As an Andelan, you’ll serve as a role model for the rest of the company. Think about the feedback your peers typically give you – if it usually sounds like the below, we want to hear from you:

• Low ego, low drama: You share credit, take blame. You like being wrong because it means someone else had an even better idea.
• One team mentality: You break silos across teams. You put the company and mission first above your team alone.
• Great listener, hungry for feedback: You’re always seeking to improve – our product, our business, yourself. You solicit diverse opinions and deeply listen.
• Owner, not renter: You see a problem, you fix it or find someone who will. The buck stops with you.
• Team-player: You roll up your sleeves and get scrappy. You do this by proactively collaborating with your team while actively engaging in important details that matter.
• Business problem solver: You’re not just a functional expert; you consistently get praise for approaching your function through the lens of solving business problems.

Key Responsibilities

• Solution Discovery & Incubation (~30%)
  • Identify and validate enterprise learning opportunities through market research, competitive analysis, client engagement, and signals from Andela’s Talent Network.
  • Design learning solution concepts targeting reskilling needs across AI/ML, Cloud, Data, and Software Engineering domains — with AI as the primary focus.
  • Build business cases including market sizing, competitive positioning, pricing models, and revenue projections.
  • Lead proof-of-concept programs demonstrating measurable learner outcomes and client ROI.
  • Present solution investment recommendations to cross-functional leadership.
• Solution Design & Technical Leadership (~30%)
  • Define curriculum architecture, assessment frameworks, hands-on lab architectures, post-training community building strategies, and certification pathways for enterprise learning programs.
  • Drive decisions on modality (live, virtual, self-paced, cohort-based), platform selection, and technology integration.
  • Evaluate and integrate AI-assisted delivery tools — adaptive platforms, AI copilots, intelligent tutoring systems.
  • Build program design standards, templates, and replication playbooks.
  • Leverage strategic partnerships to scale learning content development and refresh cycles (GitHub, OpenAI, Anthropic, AWS, Google, NVIDIA, CNCF, etc.).
• Client Partnership & Engagement Design (~25%)
  • Lead discovery and scoping for complex enterprise reskilling engagements, translating workforce transformation goals into structured program requirements.
  • Facilitate design workshops, steering committees, and outcome reviews with client stakeholders (HR, Engineering, Business Unit leadership).
  • Define engagement models, milestones, and success criteria that Delivery executes against.
  • Drive iterative program refinement based on learner performance data and client feedback.
• Commercialisation & Go-to-Market (~15%)
  • Transform successful pilots into scalable, repeatable offerings with recurring revenue potential.
  • Develop positioning, messaging, and sales enablement materials for learning solutions.
  • Support pre-sales activities — solution design, presentations, and proposals.
  • Build playbooks enabling rapid solution replication across client engagements.
  • Track and report on solution adoption, revenue contribution, and market traction.

Qualifications

• 5+ years in enterprise learning, workforce transformation, or technical education; at least 3 years in a solution design or product leadership capacity.
• Understanding of enterprise reskilling at scale (50–500+ learners per cohort).
• Hands-on experience packaging and promoting certification-driven programs across AI/ML, Cloud, Data, or Software Engineering.
• Possesses a strong technical fluency and comfort with technical education curricula. Demonstrable ability to effectively engage with L&D department heads at target firms.
• Proven ability to build financial models, business cases, and commercialisation strategies.
• Track record of delivering measurable impact of learning: e.g. product adoption and learner satisfaction.
• Excellent stakeholder management — comfortable engaging CHROs, CTOs, and Business Unit Heads, and Heads of L&D.

Preferred

• Background in professional services, consulting, or workforce transformation (e.g., Accenture, Pluralsight, Coursera for Business).
• Experience launching or scaling new learning product lines or digital education offerings.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted learning delivery and modern LMS/LXP platforms at enterprise scale.
• Data-driven approach to program optimisation — able to interpret performance metrics and translate into design improvements.
• Experience working with global distributed teams and talent networks.
