About the Role

Most people see a marketplace of over 60,000 training courses. We build something bigger: the chance for companies across the world to upgrade the skills of every employee they have. Global 2000 companies across the region rely on our training programs to build their most productive and admired workforces, and we back that trust with strategic partnerships.

The Curation Team turns a broad, global learning marketplace into focused, effective learning experiences for EMEA customers, prospects, and publishers. As a Curation Specialist, you will pair strong marketplace knowledge with a consultative approach to recommend the right content, build curated programs, and help EMEA customers make progress toward their workforce development goals — while accounting for the region's language diversity, local compliance needs (including GDPR), and varied working cultures.

• Translate the learning goals of EMEA customers and prospects into high-quality course mappings, curated lists, learning paths, and other recommendations that make the OpenSesame marketplace easy to use.
• Serve as a trusted advisor to the EMEA Sales and Customer Success teams, and bring marketplace expertise to customer conversations, pre-sales calls, RFPs, and presentations across the region.
