Senior Product Manager

About Flashlight Learning:

Flashlight Learning accelerates English language development by providing students with constructive feedback and data to guide them and their teachers in their language learning journey. At Flashlight, we believe every child, given the opportunity, will show what they know and tell you what they need to learn. All students are hungry to grow and will thrive if given the right opportunity to succeed.

Flashlight Learning is a young company with a strong culture and a passion for serving students. We have a collaborative working environment where we hire people who embody the 5 H's: heart, hands, head, humility, and happiness as we build innovative products that open doors of opportunity for students. Despite being less than five years old, Flashlight Learning is used in over 500 school districts across nearly every state and continues to grow rapidly.

About the Role:

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager who can plan and lead discovery, balance competing priorities across multiple streams, and drive complex product areas from problem to measurable outcome. This role is ideal for someone who has moved past executing well-defined tasks and is ready to own ambiguity: framing problems, orchestrating cross-functional delivery, and coaching others along the way. You'll work closely with Engineering, Curriculum, Scoring, and Customer Success to ship products that make teachers' lives easier and improve outcomes for multilingual learners.

Job Responsibilities:

• Plan and lead discovery efforts, validating hypotheses with triangulated data sources.
• Balance problem and solution ideation, informed by customer feedback and company objectives and strategy.
• Manage prioritization across multiple streams, incorporating user, market, and business insights into plans.
• Adopt an experimental, iterative approach (Product Kata) to guide the team toward the highest-value work.
• Design experiments and triangulate data sources for ongoing product refinement; use data to track product impact.
• Lead go-to-market strategy and execution, ensure internal teams are trained and equipped, and orchestrate incremental releases and customer feedback loops.
• Navigate complexity and keep cross-functional teams aligned on outcomes and scope, orchestrating clear lines of communication.
• Lead the collaborative design and development process, resolve friction with context and empathy, and exert lateral influence by speaking the engineer's language effectively.
• Coach others in lean thinking; advocate for speed, experimentation, and outcome focus.
• Own complex systems or flows, driving toward outcomes tied to company goals and strategy.
• Represent the voice of the customer at scale, balancing user and business needs.
• Serve as a role model for collaboration, coaching others in healthy team dynamics.
• Communicate complex ideas clearly across the org, bringing clarity to ambiguity.
• Coach peers and influence cross-functional planning and team development.

Job Skills and Qualifications:

• Track record owning end-to-end delivery for complex product areas, from discovery through launch and measurement.
• Experience running structured discovery and validating hypotheses with multiple, triangulated data sources.
• Comfort managing prioritization across several concurrent work streams, not just a single roadmap lane.
• Experience leading go-to-market planning, including internal enablement and phased/incremental rollout.
• Strong cross-functional influence: able to align Engineering, Curriculum, Scoring, Customer Success, and Leadership without formal authority.
• Demonstrated ability to coach or mentor other PMs.
• Years of experience: 5 years of Product Management experience.

Preferred Experience:

• Experience in K-12, EdTech, or working with school districts is a plus but not required.
• Familiarity with lean/experimental product development methods (e.g., Product Kata).
• Experience building or scaling analytics practices to track product impact.
• A passion for education and a desire to contribute to better student and teacher outcomes.

What we offer:

• The chance to make a real impact on the lives of millions of learners.
• A dynamic and collaborative remote work environment.
• Competitive compensation, benefits, and ‘take what you need’ time-off package.
• Stock options in a rapidly growing edtech company.
• 401(k) plus company match
• The opportunity to build and lead a high-performing team.
• The freedom and resources to shape the future of our technology platform.
