VP of Product

Multiverse is the upskilling platform for AI and Tech adoption.

We have partnered with 1,500+ companies to deliver a new kind of learning that's transforming today's workforce.

Our upskilling apprenticeships are designed for people of any age and career stage to build critical AI, data, and tech skills. Our learners have driven $2bn+ ROI for their employers, using the skills they've learned to improve productivity and measurable performance.

In June 2022, we announced a $220 million Series D funding round co-led by StepStone Group, Lightspeed Venture Partners and General Catalyst. With a post-money valuation of $1.7bn, the round makes us the UK's first EdTech unicorn.

But we aren't stopping there. With a strong operational footprint and 800+ employees, we have ambitious plans to continue scaling. We're building a world where tech skills unlock people's potential and output.

Join Multiverse and power our mission to equip the workforce to win in the AI era.

About the Opportunity

We're seeking an exceptional leader to develop, launch and scale our groundbreaking AI Adoption platform. You will be reporting directly into the Founder & CEO of Multiverse. This role represents a unique opportunity to build a new product from the ground up, blending a mix of software and services to deliver customer ROI at scale. The role would suit a highly customer-centric and product-focused leader who has previously brought a new software product to market, ideally as a founder or core member of an early-stage start-up team.

Multiverse's established UK apprenticeship business has over 1500 customers and is rapidly growing. In parallel, we can see clear demand from our customers and partners for a non-apprenticeship product, which drives AI tool adoption. Despite massive investments in Microsoft 365 Copilot and other enterprise AI solutions, adoption rates remain frustratingly low, with our US data showing only 42% of AI licenses are actively used with $4.5M wasted per 1,000 employees on underutilized SaaS tools.

This is a rare opportunity to:

• Lead a category-defining product with proven initial traction into a greenfield UK market

• Solve a massive enterprise pain point that affects every major global company

• Build something from scratch while leveraging proven playbooks and IP

• Shape the future of work in the AI era.

What you'll build

Our team has created an MVP product which has shown 7x adoption results in initial customer pilots. Using a mix of software and services, it delivers personalised, role and tool-specific AI use cases and upskilling at scale. Social features, along with measured and reported RO,I further drive adoption and business impact.

We're now looking to develop and scale this product at pace, with the VP AI Adoption Product hiring a dedicated team of engineers, engagement managers and more to expedite its roll out. You'll establish our Adoption Platform as its own 'start-up' within the business, with the benefit of our existing customer base, IP and established team to support its growth.
