Education changes lives.
But tech hasn’t lived up to its promise—yet. At Kognity, we’re here to change that.
We blend smart pedagogy with cutting-edge tech to create powerful, engaging learning experiences. Every student, everywhere, deserves the tools to succeed—no matter their background. We're on a mission to make that happen.
Why Kognity is the place to be:
✨ Educational Innovation – Build AI-first media solutions that make learning measurably better.
Global Reach – Our platform supports educators and learners in over 120 countries.
Collaborative Culture – Work with brilliant, kind people who care deeply about what they do.
Real Growth – From personal development to career progression, we’ve got your back.
What you’ll do:
Lead Kognity’s AI-first media strategy and define how cutting-edge tools and workflows shape the future of educational content.
Build and develop a high-performing, future-ready in-house media team with deep expertise in AI, animation, interactive content, and video.
Ensure pedagogical excellence and consistency across all media by setting high standards, applying user insights, and shaping our media styles and governance.
Oversee tools and systems—including DAM, tagging, and retrieval processes—to enable scalable, efficient media production across teams and suppliers.
What we’re looking for:
Experience in a leadership role overseeing in-house media functions, with a proven ability to build, mentor, and scale high-performing teams in fast-paced, content-driven environments.
Deep understanding of generative AI in media—across tools like Runway, Midjourney, Sora, and ElevenLabs—and how to leverage them to drive innovation and efficiency.
Strong technical acumen and strategic thinking, with experience designing scalable production workflows, balancing internal vs. external media creation, and managing asset libraries and DAM systems.
A user- and pedagogy-centred mindset combined with clear communication, insight-led decision making, and a bias for continuous improvement.
A collaborative, adaptable leader who can align stakeholders, evolve org design, and embed quality media practices across the business.
