• Translate customer insights and market research into strategic product decisions and development priorities.

Champion the K–12 Customer

• Understand the instructional challenges facing district leaders, school administrators, instructional coaches, and teachers.

• Use customer feedback, school visits, market research, and product data to identify opportunities and improve product adoption.

• Apply knowledge of K–12 funding, procurement, and purchasing decisions to develop solutions that meet customer and market needs.

Drive Product Performance & Business Results

• Manage product performance with a profit-and-loss mindset, including revenue, profitability, pricing, and return on investment.

• Develop business cases, financial forecasts, and market assessments to guide product investments.

• Monitor adoption, engagement, customer retention, instructional outcomes, and revenue performance to inform strategic decisions.

Lead Cross-Functional Execution & Go-to-Market Success

• Partner with engineering, product development, marketing, sales, and customer success to deliver high-value solutions.

• Define product requirements, prioritize development initiatives, and guide Agile teams through successful releases.

• Collaborate with Product Marketing on positioning, launches, sales enablement, and strategies that generate qualified leads and revenue growth.

What We're Looking For

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Product Management, Marketing, Education, Technology, or a related field, or equivalent relevant professional preparation.

• At least 3 years of experience working with Agile software development teams.

• Demonstrated experience evaluating market opportunities, developing business cases, and using financial and performance data to guide product decisions.

• Strong strategic thinking, analytical, financial, communication, and cross-functional leadership skills.

• Ability to work remotely within the Eastern or Central U.S. time zones.
