• Program Delivery & Dual Award Collaboration:

• Actively research and identify opportunities for program delivery partnerships, leveraging existing online and blended learning content and infrastructure.

• Specifically identify, pursue, and establish university collaborations for dual award programs, requiring a deep understanding of the complexities of credit recognition, curriculum alignment, and joint academic offerings.
• Collaborate closely with internal academic, legal, and operational teams to ensure seamless integration and successful launch of new partnerships.

• Strategic Planning & Execution:

• Analyze market trends and competitor strategies to develop effective sales and business development strategies tailored for global markets, with specific consideration for China and Africa.
