GM, Andela Learning Solutions

About the role

Andela is launching Andela Academy: Training-as-a-Service (TaaS) - a new business line that helps enterprises reskill and redeploy their workforce at scale. We're seeking a commercial, client-centric General Manager to lead this fast-growing revenue stream. You will be responsible for building, scaling, and commercializing Andela's enterprise learning offerings across AI, Cloud, Data, and other high-demand domains. This is a P&L-owning, client-facing leadership role that blends business development, program delivery, and operational scale. You will oversee a core team of Learning Managers and Architects, manage a distributed bench of instructors and mentors, and partner closely with Sales, Partnerships, Product, and Talent Operations to deliver high-impact, certification-driven learning programs that drive measurable client and learner outcomes. Exceptional Leadership: As a member of the Solutions leadership team, you'll serve as a role model for the rest of the organization. Think about the feedback your peers typically give you - if it usually sounds like the below, we want to hear from you. Low ego, low drama, servant leader : You share credit, take blame. You like being wrong because it means someone else had an even better idea. One team mentality : You break silos across teams. You put the company and mission first above your team alone. Great listener, hungry for feedback: You're always seeking to improve - our product, our business, yourself. You solicit diverse opinions and deeply listen. Owner, not renter: You see a problem, you fix it or find someone who will. The buck stops with you. Player-coach: You fly high (create strategy) AND low (know the details that matter). You roll up your sleeves and get scrappy. You do this without micromanaging, empowering your team while actively engaging in important details. Business problem solver . You're not just a functional expert; you consistently get praise for approaching your function through the lens of solving business problems.
