Head of Global Fellowship Programs

Knowledge Networks trains the people who will govern AI — parliamentarians, judges, journalists, and ministers across more than forty countries, with a deliberate weighting toward the Global South.

We run four fellowships: ERAI (journalists), NOMAI (parliamentarians), AI on the Bench (judiciary), and The AI Cabinet (ministers). Each has a program manager. Nobody yet runs them as one system. That is this role.

You will:

•    Own delivery of the full fellowship portfolio — timeline, standard, and budget.

•    Line-manage the program managers, and hire the next.

•    Set the operating model between program management and learning design, and hold people to it.

•    Build one institutional faculty bench across programs instead of four address books.

•    Deliver our flagship convenings, currently Miami (Dec 2026) and Geneva (2027).

You probably have:

•    10–15 years experience, including 4+ managing managers.

•    A record of running concurrent programs for senior or elite audiences — executive education, policy training, professional development, or similar.

•    Real skill with faculty and subject-matter experts: people who respond to relationship, not authority.

•    Comfort holding a quality line against delivery pressure, and saying so to both sides.

•    Multi-time-zone international delivery experience and exceptional written English.

Useful but not required: AI policy or tech regulation exposure, Global South cohort experience, a learning-design background.

Reports to the Founder & Chairman. Based in India, hybrid, with U.S. Eastern and European hours as the work requires. Occasional international travel.
