Your Impact and Responsibilities

As the primary technical authority for this specialization, you will ensure the curriculum accurately represents how marketers and designers develop strategic ad creative, use AI-powered tools responsibly, and measure performance. Your day-to-day responsibilities will be structured around three continuous review checkpoints per course:

• Checkpoint 1: Program Outline Review
  • Review source webinars and supporting documents to evaluate generated outlines for logical flow, structural completeness, and sequencing.
  • Attend live alignment calls with the Coursera and Learning Design teams to validate content at the structural level.
• Checkpoint 2: Full Course Atlas (Script) Review
  • Conduct a deep-dive review of a Proof-of-Concept (POC) course to establish the standard for tone, depth, accuracy, and structure.
  • Review remaining course atlases (.doc format via Google Drive) to ensure they mirror the POC standards and flag course-specific errors.
• Checkpoint 3: On-Platform Final Review
  • Access the live Coursera staging environment to end-to-end test all interactive components, dialogues, and logic triggers.
  • Validate final uploads against source webinars for absolute factual accuracy, brand alignment, and completeness.
• Continuous Quality Assurance & Content Creation
  • Source-Fidelity Checking: Scrutinize all elements to ensure absolutely zero hallucinated or drifted Meta product claims.
  • Creative Setup Workflows: Verify that setup steps for Ads Manager creative configurations, mobile-first layouts, and Meta AI features reflect the current live UI.
  • Copywriting: Draft and refine XDP copy for product accuracy; review Donobu QA reports as required.
  • Screencasting: Record high-quality technical screencasts following provided audio/room setup guidelines if needed to complement written text.
