If you are energized by building learning products that help organizations grow, adapt, and prove real business impact, this role offers the chance to shape two of Pearson's enterprise learning offerings at an important point in their evolution. As Portfolio Manager for Knowledge Suite and Pearson Live Training, you will help position these products at the center of enterprise transformation, with a core focus on career success, technology skilling, and AI-enabled transformation.
