This role also brings a practical approach to using AI—applying personalization, recommendations, and adaptive experiences to improve how learners discover, engage with, and complete content.

Partner with Engineering, Design, Data, Growth, and Marketing to deliver high-impact, experiment-driven product initiatives
Evolve a rigorous experimentation framework (A/B testing, cohort analysis, behavioral insights) to inform prioritization and investment decisions
Integrate AI-driven features such as personalization, recommendations, and adaptive experiences to improve learner outcomes
Identify opportunities to replace manual or static experiences with AI-driven solutions that scale without increasing operational overhead
Align cross-functional stakeholders around a clear learner-first vision while ensuring measurable business impact

Basic Qualifications:

7+ years of product management experience shipping consumer-facing digital products
3+ years of experience managing Product Managers or leading cross-functional teams through influence
Exposure to both consumer and enterprise learner markets
Demonstrated history of owning and improving measurable metrics such as activation, engagement, retention, or conversion
Experience leading cross-functional initiatives with Engineering, Design, and Data partners from strategy through execution
Experience developing product roadmaps and translating strategy into shipped features
Strong foundation in experimentation methodologies, including A/B testing and data-driven product iteration
Experience applying AI/ML (e.g., LLMs, recommendation systems) to shipped product experiences such as personalization, content generation, or workflow automation
Comfort using AI tools in day-to-day product development (e.g., prototyping, analysis, or content iteration)

Preferred Qualifications:

Experience working on consumer marketplace, subscription, or growth-stage technology products
Experience optimizing multi-step user funnels across web and mobile platforms
Background in education technology, content platforms, or mission-driven consumer products
Experience with assessment generation, quizzes, questions banks as well as integrity solutions such as Turnitin and Honorlock
Ability to rethink traditional product experiences using new capabilities (including AI), rather than defaulting to existing patterns
