About Pearson Product and Marketing
Our vision
Our function will ensure that the learner and efficacy are at the heart of Pearson’s product and marketing strategy.

We need to make sure that data and customer insights clearly steer our product development, that efficacy is embedded in all our products, that we have a coherent and strategic approach to marketing at Pearson, and that we invest in our leading product brands.

We will also ensure that Pearson invests its product development resources effectively across the whole organisation and against our largest growth opportunities. We will look at product development across ages and stages of learning and share expertise on Pearson’s business models such as direct delivery and inside services.

Our team will drive and co-ordinate how we work with technology partners –large and small – establishing Pearson as a destination for innovation in education.

Finally, one of our biggest priorities is to ensure that the voice of the learner is central to the choices we make about products and how we develop them. We will ensure that Pearson can deliver consistent and effective learner and customer experiences, based on real data and insights. Ensuring that efficacy is embedded into all of our products will mean that we measure our success in terms of how we improve successful learning outcomes for our customers and learners.

Product Strategy
The Product Strategy team transforms and improves the Pearson Product Portfolio and our product development processes by helping Pearson to focus on the products and strategies that will have the biggest impact on learners, deliver efficacy at scale, and help transform our business from print to digital.

Future Technologies
The Future Technologies team is the corporate R&D group at Pearson. The team consists of Product Managers, Developers and Designers who are based in our London (UK), New York City (US) and Beijing (China) offices. It looks ahead into the future, identifies new and emerging trends and technologies that are likely to impact Pearson’s businesses around the globe and then rapidly develops prototypes and proof of concepts reflecting these areas. Activities are done in collaboration with Pearson’s businesses, the Future Technologies Champions, a virtual, internal innovation community that seeks to drive the digital innovation and transformation within Pearson, and external partners.
