Role Description You'll join Group Strategy, a small, high-impact team working directly under the Chief Strategy Officer. This is not a support function — you will own strategic workstreams end-to-end, influence decisions at CEO and CFO level, and work across Pearson's five business units at a moment of significant company transformation. If you're a consultant looking to move in-house without losing the pace, ambiguity, or intellectual rigour of consulting, this role is built for you. - Own end-to-end strategic workstreams: frame the problem, build the fact base, size markets, and synthesize options into executive-ready recommendations aligned to Pearson's growth strategy. - Use market and competitive intelligence to shape strategic choices across five business units, working directly with business leaders, CFOs, and CEOs. - Build evidence-based business cases: financial and operational modelling, scenario analysis, assumptions, risks, and KPIs that drive real capital allocation decisions. - Partner with product, commercial, finance, and corporate development on high-priority initiatives — including AI-enabled learning and skills strategy. - Translate strategy into action: craft board-ready narratives, support planning cadences, and track execution against strategic targets. - Contribute to the team's intellectual infrastructure: share playbooks, methods, and frameworks that raise the bar across the function. Qualifications - 2–4 years of experience at a top-tier strategy consulting firm (MBB or equivalent) or investment bank, with a track record of delivering structured, hypothesis-driven analysis and actionable recommendations to senior stakeholders. - Strong foundation in market sizing, competitor analysis, financial modelling, and business case development — comfortable operating in ambiguous, fast-moving problem spaces. - Exceptional communication skills: you write sharp memos, build clean slides, and can hold a room with senior executives. - A genuine interest in transitioning from consulting to an in-house role with real business impact and a clear path into broader leadership. - Nice to have: exposure to M&A diligence, portfolio strategy, or partnerships; familiarity with AI-enabled edtech or skills/credential ecosystems. Benefits - Direct exposure to C-suite (CEO, CFO, business unit leaders) from day one. - Pearson is in the middle of a major strategic transformation — you will shape it, not just report on it. - Clear path from strategy into business leadership roles over time. - Remote-first with flexibility and minimal travel. - Sector at the intersection of education and AI — one of the most interesting strategic spaces right now. Compensation The anticipated base salary range for this position is $90,000 – $130,000 per year. Actual compensation will depend on experience, skills, and other factors. Pearson also offers a competitive benefits package.
