In this key role, you will be central to the success of multiple AI-focused projects. You will work closely with AI Innovation Managers and stakeholders to ensure clear communication, effective prioritisation, and smooth coordination across teams. You will help scope impactful solutions, track progress against KPIs, and use data and feedback to support informed, high-quality decision-making.

This is far more than a coordination role. It is a unique opportunity to contribute at the heart of innovation within a global EdTech company. Your work will help shape how AI is used to enhance our operations across the organisation that drives revenue growth.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Stakeholder Management

   • Act as the main point of contact for internal stakeholder communication.

   • Support team leaders to determine project priorities based on expected impact and stakeholder input.

3. Task Tracking and Updates

   • Support AI Innovation Managers by tracking task updates on ClickUp.

   • Follow up with team members for progress updates and input these into ClickUp when needed.

4. KPI Tracking and Project Impact Reporting

   • Track stakeholder responses and data points throughout each stage of a project to address any gaps.

   • Maintain clear and consistent records that demonstrate project value and outcomes.

   • Collect and report on key metrics to highlight the measurable impact of delivered work.

5. Team and Cross-Functional Support

   • Provide comprehensive support to all members of the Internal AI Innovation Team.

   • Act as a bridge between the AI team and other Twinkl departments to identify high-impact opportunities.

   • Provide Innovation Managers with context, problem statements, and potential scope for key initiatives.

6. Budget Oversight and Communication

   • Support tracking of team spend, budget approvals and cost monitoring.

   • Build and maintain dashboards for reporting purposes.

Key Skills & Experience:

• Proven experience in stakeholder management, with the ability to communicate clearly and confidently across teams. Especially with SLT.

• Skilled at identifying challenges faced by non-technical stakeholders and translating them into practical, solution-focused plans.

• Comfortable using task management platforms, ideally with hands-on experience in ClickUp or similar tools.

• Strong track record of coordinating communications across multiple teams to drive project progress.

• Highly organised, with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously and keep projects on track. 

• A genuine interest in artificial intelligence and innovation, with experience in technical project environments being an advantage. 

• Confident in tracking, analysing and reporting KPIs to demonstrate project performance and impact.

• Strong skills in Google Sheets/Excel or AirTable.
