Job description
from 2U careersAt 2U, we are all in on purpose. We are motivated by our mission – to eliminate the back row in education – and connected by our shared passion to deliver world-class digital education at scale. As the parent company of edX, the world’s leading online learning platform, 2U powers more than 4,000 online higher education offerings – from free courses to full degrees. Together with more than 230 colleges, universities, and corporate partners, we are helping to unlock human potential.
What We’re Looking For:
As an Academic Manager, you are responsible for instructional team staffing within an assigned portfolio, including allocating educators to presentations and ensuring high-quality course delivery. You will partner with cross-functional 2U teams and our University Partners to ensure educators are prepared to teach, feel supported, and are committed to student success and continuous improvement. This role includes managing logistical and administrative processes involving educators, but not direct management.
The Academic Manager is responsible for quality checking, providing actionable feedback, assigning professional development, and precise record-keeping, all aiming towards improving learner outcomes and the educator experience. This individual uses their initiative, works well under pressure and takes ownership of operational and administrative tasks.
