Sponsors, but it's cap-subject — you still face the weighted lottery (~45% per draw at Level III). Good if you win; have a cap-exempt backup on your list.

About the role

  • Pearson is fundamentally reimagining how educational products are built, from first concept through learner impact.
  • The Workflow Transformation Analyst is a driving force in that reinvention-a hands-on change agent who doesn't just map today's processes but architects tomorrow's.
  • If you're the kind of person who sees a broken process and can't rest until it's been rebuilt from the ground up-this role was made for you.

Responsibilities

  • Drive the delivery of digital content and online course programs with urgency and accountability-owning outcomes, not just timelines.
  • Deep expertise in workflow design, process transformation, and operating model architecture-you've redesigned how work gets done, not just documented it.
  • Be the tip of the spear on AI-native workflow design-identify and implement high-impact automation opportunities using generative AI, agentic AI, and intelligent tooling to replace manual, error-prone work with scalable, self-improving systems.
  • Rally and align matrixed, cross-functional teams around shared transformation goals-building coalitions, not just coordinating calendars.
  • Lead high-energy workshops, transformation sprints, and workflow deep dives that produce concrete, implementable change-not slide decks that gather dust.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree required (or equivalent practical experience).
  • Proficiency with modern workflow and collaboration tooling (Jira, Smartsheet, Confluence, SharePoint, Teams) and a hunger to push beyond them.
  • Working knowledge of AI/ML concepts and practical experience applying generative AI and prompt engineering to real business workflows.

Skills

  • Hands-on fluency with Agile, Scrum, or hybrid delivery models-and the judgment to know when to flex the framework.

Compensation

  • Compensation at Pearson is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, and specific location.

Benefits

  • Own the full initiative lifecycle-planning, dependency mapping, risk mitigation, and delivery health-with a bias toward unblocking teams and accelerating momentum, not administering status reports.
