1.About BridgeAI Ireland

BridgeAI Ireland is a Dublin-based AI training institute on a mission to bridge young Irish talent into well-paid software and AI careers. We deliver hands-on, employer-aligned programmes — from Generative AI for Business to AI for Software Engineers — combining industry-grade curriculum with a placement engine that connects students directly to Irish tech employers.

We launch our first cohort in September 2026. We are small, fast, founder-led, and looking for the next set of people who want to build the institute alongside us.

2.The role

You are the operational heart of the institute. From the first cohort onwards, you will run the programmes — student journey, scheduling, communications, learning platform, attendance, and feedback loops.

You will work alongside our trainers and external delivery / content partners to make sure every cohort runs smoothly, every student gets what they were promised, and the team has the data needed to keep improving.

3.What you will do

• Own the cohort calendar: enrolment, kick-off, weekly schedule, assessments, certification, graduation.
• Be the day-to-day point of contact for students; triage queries, manage the LMS, run check-ins.
• Coordinate trainers, guest speakers, and partner sessions; keep delivery on schedule and on quality.
• Run the feedback loop: weekly student NPS, structured retrospectives, action register.
• Track attendance, completion, and outcome metrics; surface risks early.
• Support enrolment and onboarding alongside the BDA — admissions paperwork, payment status, welcome packs.

4.Minimum qualifications

• 2+ years in programme coordination, education operations, or training delivery.
• Highly organised; comfortable juggling 30–60 students and multiple stakeholders concurrently.
• Strong written communication — you will draft a lot of student-facing comms.
• Comfort with LMS / collaboration tools (Google Workspace, Slack/Teams, Zoom, an LMS such as Moodle or Thinkific).
• Right to work in Ireland.

5.Nice to have

• Background in higher education, Skillnet-funded programmes, bootcamps, or apprenticeships.
• Familiarity with student lifecycle CRMs.
• Interest in AI / tech upskilling.

6.What we offer

• Sustainable PT engagement in Y1 with a defined transition to FT from Y2 onwards.
• Direct ownership of the student experience for our first cohorts.
• Hybrid working with structured in-person time in Dublin.
• Support to attend relevant industry events and CPD activity.
