• Coordinate the solution documentation workflow, tracking inputs, review comments, and version updates across internal teams to maintain consistency and traceability through proposal and delivery stages.
• Collaborate with internal teams (Technology, Product, Delivery) to consolidate inputs, confirm feasibility, and ensure accurate representation of proposed solution.
• Collaborate with the respective members/teams to draft narratives or summaries for social media, website, or case-study use, highlighting Academian's technology capabilities and solution outcomes.
• Research and summarize approaches related to learning platforms, analytics, interoperability (APIs, SSO, LTI), data pipelines, and AI-driven personalization to support solution articulation.
• Maintain and update solution libraries, reusable templates, and documentation standards, ensuring all proposal materials reflect current terminology, data points, and compliance notes.
• Create solution and capability presentations, proposals, and other decks, ensuring clarity, technical accuracy, and alignment with Academian's positioning.
• Facilitate presales-to-delivery handoff by summarizing key requirements, scope boundaries, and validation details for internal teams.
• Participate in client and internal review discussions to verify alignment between stated requirements, proposed solutions, and delivery expectations.

Qualifications

• Demonstrated ability to capture, structure, and communicate business and functional requirements for technology-enabled learning solutions.
• Familiar with APIs, LMS/LXP platforms, system integrations, and education data standards such as LTI, QTI, OneRoster, and Caliper.
• Understanding of data workflows including Data Warehousing, Data Lakes, and ETL processes.
• Awareness of Knowledge Graphs, structured data, and semantic relationships in educational tech systems.
• Excelled written and spoken English skills able to produce client-ready documents, articulate technical details clearly, and present persuasively in meetings.
• Strong organisational skills to handle multiple opportunities simultaneously under tight deadlines.
