• Partner closely with Design, Engineering, and other stakeholders to deliver features that are scalable, reliable, and simple for users.
• Define and measure success metrics for adoption, engagement, and impact; use this data to iterate on and improve the classroom experience.
• Work cross-functionally with customer-facing teams to align go-to-market strategies and ensure smooth training, rollout, and communication of new features.
• Proactively balance user needs, technical constraints, and business objectives, and make thoughtful trade-offs to drive execution.
• Travel up to 10% to meet with stakeholders, shadow end users, or gather user insights.

What we are looking for:

• Experience as a product manager (or similar role) with a strong track record of delivering impactful products in B2B or B2C environments.
• A user-centered mindset with a passion for creating intuitive, engaging virtual experiences that solve real problems for users.
• Experience developing data-driven product roadmaps, confidently prioritizing work by balancing user needs, business goals, and technical feasibility.
• A natural collaborator and clear communicator who thrives in cross-functional teams and can articulate complex ideas simply to diverse audiences.
• Strategic thinker with the ability to define and drive meaningful goals/KPIs and execute effectively to meet them.
• Comfortable with navigating technical challenges and working with engineering teams to tackle complexities in a scalable, pragmatic way.

Nice to have:

• Experience building virtual classroom tools or interactive platforms, particularly for K-8 audiences.
• Familiarity with the K-8 education landscape, including instructional practices, curriculum standards, and educator challenges.
