About ETS
ETS is a global education and talent solutions organization enabling lifelong learners worldwide to be future-ready. For more than 75 years, we've been advancing the science of measurement to build benchmarks for fair and valid skill assessment across cultures and borders. Our worldwide impact extends through our renowned assessments including TOEFL®, TOEIC®, GRE® and Praxis® tests, serving millions of learners in more than 200 countries and territories. Through strategic acquisitions, we've expanded our global capabilities: PSI strengthens our workforce assessment solutions, while Edusoft, Kira Talent, Pipplet, Vericant, and Wheebox enhance our educational technology and assessment platforms across critical markets worldwide.
Through ETS Research Institute and ETS Solutions, we're partnering with educational institutions, governments, and organizations globally to promote skill proficiency, empower upward mobility, and unlock opportunities for everyone, everywhere. With offices and partners across Asia, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Americas, we deliver nearly 50 million tests annually. Join us in our journey of measuring progress to power human progress worldwide.
We’re looking for a Product Manager with a startup mentality to manage our test prep product portfolio. You’ll own the full product lifecycle — from driving go-to-market strategies and managing product delivery, to merchandising on our e-commerce site and maintaining partner relationships.
This role will work closely with our product development team (including AI initiatives) and with external test prep partners to bring new offerings to market and keep existing ones growing. This is not a “features-only” product management role. This role is highly cross-functional — part strategist, part project manager, part product manager.
