Masterclass Trainer (Leading with AI Programme)

The Leading with AI programme is our flagship executive-style initiative, designed for leaders navigating organisational transformation through AI. It blends executive education prestige with practical leadership development.

As a Masterclass Trainer, you will deliver high-impact, 1-hour sessions via Microsoft Teams that bring credibility, thought-leadership, and academic excellence to the programme. These sessions are designed to demystify cutting-edge AI topics, inspire learners, and differentiate the programme in a competitive executive education market.

• Enhance programme prestige by representing Cambridge Spark as a credible expert voice.
