Head of Education and Content
Santarém
Santarém, Santarém District, Portugal

Head of Education & Cross-Culture × Content Operations Lead

(Hikari Lead - Atlas / Oratorium Integration)

Organization: JP Organization (Holding Level)

Scope: Global - Multi-brand - Multi-time-zone

Engagement: Full-time or Long-term Contract

Location: Europe-preferred (remote possible with overlap discipline)

Why This Role Exists (Foundational Premise)

This role exists because global organizations do not collapse from lack of talent —

they collapse from:

• Miscommunication across cultures, languages, and expectations
• Content that moves fast but breaks meaning
• Education systems that are decorative instead of functional
• Teams working “hard” but not aligned

JP Org operates across countries, brands, academies, families, and age groups.

Without a single owner for education logic + content operations , the system drifts.

This role prevents that drift.

What Kind of Company This Is

JP Org is not :

• A
  - first media company
• A traditional education institution
• A soft “culture” organization with vague values

JP Org is :

• A
  - driven,
  - aware holding organization
• Operating sports, education,
  - abroad, creative, and investment platforms
• Governed by Chambers , not vibes
• Built to scale without losing people, meaning, or ethics

This role sits exactly at that intersection.

Role Definition (Hybrid by Design)

This is a hybrid
- operator role combining:

• Head of Education & Cross-Culture (Hikari Lead)
• Content Operations Lead (Global)

You are not a teacher.

You are not a content creator.

You are the person who ensures that people understand, content flows, and meaning survives scale.
