The Digital, Data, and Design (D³) Institute at Harvard is accepting applications for an AI Learning Program Manager. D³ helps industry leaders re-imagine the potential of AI in business and society through cutting-edge research and experiential learning. We are seeking an experienced Program Manager to help scale the D³ executive education portfolio by embedding AI-enabled workflows into curriculum development, delivery readiness, and program evaluation.

This role will work closely with Faculty and the Harvard Business School Executive Education team, to scale a new AI-focused executive workshop program.

The AI Learning Program Manager will operate as a hands-on partner who (1) rapidly translates emerging D³ and HBS faculty research into executive-ready curriculum assets, and (2) designs and operationalizes AI tools, automations, and agentic workflows that streamline recurring program tasks (e.g., content iteration cycles, session readiness packs, evaluation synthesis, and reporting). The role combines strong program management discipline with practical AI fluency.

• Identify high-impact opportunities to streamline and scale executive education program workflows using AI tools, automation platforms, and agentic systems—prioritizing improvements that preserve or enhance participant and faculty experience.
• In partnership with the Agentic AI Product Manager, develop and maintain reusable “program operating assets” enabled by AI (templates, prompt libraries, rubric-based QA, agent instructions, workflow documentation, and governance checklists).
• Serve as a trusted advisor to program teams regarding when AI can help optimally scale program effectiveness.

• Translate D³/HBS research into executive-ready curriculum assets (session plans, frameworks, pre-work, exercises, discussion prompts, teaching notes, reinforcement content), using AI to accelerate synthesis and drafting while ensuring rigorous human review.
• Serve as a primary partner to faculty for refining session plans and program structure, balancing client needs with available expertise and crafting both templated and customized program plans.
• Coordinate faculty touchpoints for overall curricular review and refinement sessions and prepare all relevant documentation as needed.
• Run rapid iteration cycles on curriculum components in partnership with faculty and the Executive Education team, incorporating feedback signals and delivery insights into continuous improvements.
• Build and manage a content “refresh cadence” to keep AI and digital content current as research and industry practices evolve.
• Maintain a curriculum library for modular reuse across programs.

• Redesign and automate key components of program evaluation using AI (e.g., survey synthesis, theme extraction, sentiment and qualitative coding support, debrief summaries, action logs, and leadership reporting).
• Implement a structured evaluation approach that…
