What the job involves
- You're responsible for hiring the right people to deliver our AI courses. People who understand business, love learning, and know how to teach in a way that sticks
- You’ll think deeply about what makes a great AI coach (hint: it’s not just what’s on their CV) and work closely with our People team to find them

- You’ll run high-quality training, create space for reflection and feedback, and make sure our coaches bring the latest tools and ideas into their sessions

- You’ll own the day-to-day running of the course, from onboarding through to final assessments
- You’ll feed into how we structure and improve our programmes. Things like content pacing, live examples, and delivery flow

- You’ll be the go-to person for anything related to AI coaching at Makers
- You’ll collaborate with the wider business, from Client Partners to Operations, to share insights, learner updates, and thought leadership
- You’ll work with other Heads to design new products, plan team priorities, and make sure AI coaching is part of the bigger picture
Salary benchmarks
Our take
Since the advent of the internet, professional work has changed drastically - evolving even faster now in the face of innovations like blockchain and web 3.0. What hasn't changed is the training available for people who need to take up jobs in the IT industry. The founders of Makers saw this gap and founded the company to enable thousands of graduates to "learn by doing" and secure careers in tech.
The company's integration of education and employment is of growing desirability in an era of worsening graduate unemployment. This means high demand, which is likely to keep increasing as more jobs require coding and other related skills. Not alone in the space, Makers is distinguished by its expertise in training developers remotely, which is well-placed in a market with the need for digitisation.
Even better is Makers' marketplace offering, which looks to help its students find placement in the industry. This has helped many students find placement in big-name companies, with many firms coming back for repeat recruitment. This is testament to Maker's value in the tech talent supply chain, as it moves to offer a wider variety of tech bootcamp and apprenticeship courses over the next few years.
