Position:
Platform & Learning Experience Manager
Company:
Ad Astra, Inc.
Location:
Remote (EST Time Zone)
Employment Type:
Full-Time
We are building something that does not exist yet — and we need someone who can build it with us.
Ad Astra is a communication company. Not a language services firm — a communication company. The difference matters, and it is the most consequential move we are making in 2026.
Ad Astra Skills Academy is the largest platform expansion of the year. It is a module of
AdAstra
Connect
— our communication infrastructure platform — and the person in this role is the accountable owner for turning a library of proven training content into a platform business.
What You Will Own
Digitization of a full training portfolio end to end (40-hour medical, 44-hour legal, Cultural Interpreter, and federal client-specific programs)
Product ownership of the Skills Academy module — backlog, sprint planning, architecture decisions, QA gates, and release planning
The
AdAstra
Connect
integration: assessment results, certifications, and training history written directly to linguist records
Opening the platform to third-party trainers and
establishing
the free-versus-paid content model
Creation of three new revenue lines: interpreter continuing education, client-licensed learning programs, and AI Agent Training engagements
The
Non-Negotiable
Technology fluency. You will run sprint reviews with engineers in the morning and qualification-standard conversations with Recruitment in the afternoon. If you cannot confidently engage with engineers, data models, integrations, and platform architecture, this is not the role for you.
You Will Need
3 - 5+ years of proven experience as a Product Owner, Platform Manager, or Technical Program Manager in a platform environment
Hands-on LMS and platform architecture fluency — SCORM/
xAPI
, SSO, video delivery infrastructure, assessment engines, credential tracking, and learning analytics
Experience working inside engineering teams, not simply
adjacent to
them
Ability to write technical specifications and translate complex requirements into business decisions
Experience with integrations, APIs, data models, and SaaS platforms
AI governance awareness including adaptive learning, agentic features, privacy, and security-by-design principles
Minimum four-hour daily overlap with 9:00 AM–5:00 PM US Eastern
Success in This Role
This is a
build
role. You will inherit content, a development team, and a strategy. You will be measured on whether Skills Academy is live, integrated into
AdAstra
Connect
, actively used by learners, and generating revenue within twelve months.
