Drive the future of Agentic AI at Pearson as part of the 'AgentOps' team.
Inspire innovation. Empower learning.
Why Join AgentOps
* Work on cutting-edge agentic AI systems at enterprise scale
* Help build a symbiotic workforce of humans and AI agents
* Solve real business problems across enterprise
* Be part of shaping next-gen AI engineering practices
Why This Role Matters
Are you an Manager who leads from the front - still hands-on in the code, but at
your best when you grow the people around you ? Do you thrive at the
intersection of platform engineering, orchestration, and operations ?
Join our AgentOps team and lead the group that builds and operates Pearson's
internal agentic AI platform that runs agent crews across business units - with
the reliability, observability, and governance that production demands.
This is a genuine player-coach role. You will set technical direction by -
designing systems, reviewing code, and shaping how we build - while you hire,
coach, and deliver through a high-performing team. Without this role, agentic
use cases stall between a promising prototype and a dependable production
service, and the engineers building them lack the direction and support to do
their best work.
In this key position, you turn Pearson's AgentOps platform strategy into
practical business outcomes and through this, help people realize the lives they
imagine through learning.
What You'll Do
Lead & Grow the Team
* Hire, coach, and develop a team of AgentOps Forward Deployed Engineers,
owning performance, growth, and career progression.
* Foster an inclusive, high-performing culture of continuous improvement,
solid engineering craft, and psychological safety.
* Set clear goals, run a healthy delivery cadence, and remove blockers so the
team ships with quality and speed.
Build & Ship the Platform (hands-on)
* Stay technically hands-on - lead design reviews and set the patterns and
standards the team builds to.
