As a trusted partner to over 14 million learners and 5,000+ companies, including 80% of the Fortune 1000, DataCamp is leading the charge in addressing the critical data and AI skills shortage.
About the role
As part of our mission to make data and cloud fluency accessible to all, you’ll lead a dynamic team of instructors, content creators, and technologists to craft cutting-edge courses and projects that shape the future of cloud education. Cloud technologies are transforming how businesses operate, with platforms like AWS, Azure, and GCP at the forefront. As our Head of Cloud Curriculum, you’ll be instrumental in driving this transformation, helping learners worldwide build the skills they need to succeed.
In this role, you’ll own the cloud content strategy and roadmap, working hand-in-hand with our expert instructors and the broader Cloud Curriculum team — a talented group of educators, data scientists, and technologists. Your focus will be to continuously grow and enrich our cloud content library with impactful new materials.

You believe that people, processes, technology, and data are the essential ingredients for digital transformation — and you’re energized by the opportunity to help learners advance their cloud knowledge and skills. If this sounds like you, we’d love to hear from you!
