Your Impact and Responsibilities

As the primary technical authority for this specialization, you will ensure the curriculum accurately represents how marketers connect business goals to measurable outcomes, design valid experiments, interpret incrementality, and apply insights to campaign optimization. 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.
  • Experimentation Workflows: Verify that setup steps for Meta Experiments (A/B testing, split tests) and lift studies 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.
