Job Overview
We are seeking a strategic, data-driven, and entrepreneurial content strategist to ensure that Coursera’s Data Science content catalog of Certificates, Degrees, and Courses meets the needs of our learners -- building skills to help them get top jobs and professional outcomes. This person should have extensive knowledge of the ecosystem of skills and technologies around Data Science. Broadly, this is defined as Data Analysis, Machine Learning (including Generative AI), and Probability/Statistics. In particular the ideal candidate will have extensive research and analysis skills, and will create a cohesive and data-driven content strategy with a bird’s eye view of on-platform demand, total addressable market, and Coursera’s differentiating characteristics. In addition to identifying the content that is needed to help build learners’ skills, this candidate will need to identify companies and universities to pursue to source this content.
While part of the role involves identifying these key areas of strategic investment, another meaty part of the job will involve consultation to our Partnerships teams as well as the companies and universities with which they partner. This consultation will be done in coordination with our Partnerships Managers, and will range in scope from helping to identify specific topics in Data Science, to reviewing proposed curricula, to creating multi-year content plans that cut across departments and content formats (e.g., Courses, Degrees).
You will also work cross-functionally with other teams that are helping to create and position content on the platform, such as our Services, Marketing, and Product teams. In short, you should have a deep knowledge of Data Science, must be very comfortable using data to make strategic recommendations, be a real team player, and also be passionate about education in data, machine learning, analytics and related fields

- Curate and analyze Data Science catalogs
- Use data and domain knowledge to ensure the overall health of the Data Science domain at Coursera
- Present internally and externally to knowledge area experts and people without a background in Data Science on your recommendations
Basic Qualifications

- 7+ years of experience with a breadth of topics related to Data analytics and machine learning
- Demonstrated history in data analysis or research using Excel and/or other tools
