The role
The Raspberry Pi Foundation’s work is entering an exciting phase as we extend our educational products and programmes to include artificial intelligence (AI). In collaboration with Google and Google DeepMind, we are expanding this work globally through partnerships with educational organisations.
The Global Partnerships Manager will support the Experience AI programme, managing the set-up and delivery of partnerships in Africa. You will have experience of developing and sustaining successful partnerships and knowledge of how school and education systems work in the region. You will be a strong project manager with an ability to work effectively across internal and external teams, including with senior stakeholders. You will have a good understanding of how to use data effectively and of grant management processes.
You don’t need to be an expert in AI, computing, or digital making, but you do need to bring a passion for our mission and a willingness to learn.
We strive to make the Foundation a place where talented people who care about our mission can do the best work of their careers. We have a flexible and collaborative approach to all aspects of our work. If you’re the right person for the role, we’ll make it work for you, and you can be confident that you’ll be working with an exceptional team.

About us
Established in 2008 and first known for our product — the wildly successful Raspberry Pi computer — the Foundation has developed education programmes, learning experiences, and products that are helping millions of young people learn vital new knowledge and skills.
Through Code Club, we support the world’s largest network of free informal computing clubs for young people. Tens of thousands of educators have taken our online courses, and millions of people use our free online learning resources. To deepen our understanding of how young people learn about computing and how to create with digital technologies, we conduct academic research, and we use that knowledge to increase the impact of our work and advance the field of computing education.
Across all of our work, we work hard to engage young people who come from backgrounds that are traditionally underrepresented in the field of computing or who experience educational disadvantage. We work all over the world, with teams in India, Ireland, Kenya, South Africa, UK and the USA, and partnerships with mission-aligned organizations in over 40 other countries. You can learn more about us on our careers page.
We are at the forefront of the global movement to help young people learn about computing and digital making. You can read more about our mission, values, and goals in our Annual Review 2023 and our Strategy 2022–2025.
