Alumni of more than 30 000 students around the globe form a powerful and influential network. Each of those digital wizards leads and inspires others to challenge convention and create positive change in the work they do every day.

At the end of 2023, ADI partnered with Tether to launch the Tether Edu initiative, combining our vision and strategy, we will become one of the best edu-tech platforms in the world. This collaboration marks another milestone for both ADI and Tether, the company operating the first and most widely used stablecoin, USDt.

Role Overview

As ADI continues its international growth, we are seeking a highly experienced and strategic Expansion Manager to lead and build our presence in the UK market, a key new region for the company.

Unlike traditional roles, this is not about managing an established team, but about creating and owning the expansion strategy from the ground up, working closely with the Sales and Marketing team to identify opportunities and drive real business impact.

This is a pivotal role for someone who combines hands-on execution with high-level strategic thinking, who understands the Edtech landscape, and who is ready to act as an empowered leader with the autonomy to shape the market approach. The ideal candidate will operate with a founder-like mindset, taking full ownership of growth and performance in the region.

Manage team performance, including hiring and training, always aligning decisions with company culture and objectives.
Oversee day-to-day operations, ensuring that processes run efficiently and that team goals align with broader company objectives.
Continuously review and improve operational processes, ensuring they remain aligned with the fast-paced evolution and constant changes of a growing company.
Collaborate closely with the Sales and Marketing to develop and execute go-to-market strategies that unlock growth in the UK.
Define and implement KPIs to align with global goals and track progress during the expansion.
Conducting business analytics tasks & supporting the solution design process.
Take full ownership of local execution, including project planning, implementation, and adaptation to market dynamics.
Proactively identifying risks & issues in ongoing projects & processes.
Identify and act on business opportunities that can drive growth and position ADI strongly within the UK market.
Act as a bridge between UK operations and global leadership.

Excellent communication skills in English.

Strategic thinker with a business mindset and the ability to execute hands-on.

Deep understanding of the UK market, with a strong network and knowledge of how to position digital products and services.

Strong interpersonal skills, with the ability to engage and motivate teams, handle conflict, and drive organizational change.
