Product Strategy & Vision:
Collaborate with the VP, Product and other members of the leadership team in the development of portfolio‑expanding new products aligned with our diversification strategy and organizational mission. Translate student, educator, and district needs into a compelling, scalable product vision. Define success metrics and establish product goals grounded in user value, learning outcomes, and business impact. Own the product roadmap and backlog prioritization, and hold final accountability for stage‑gate go/no‑go decisions.

Represent the product and team at quarterly Impact Committee (Board of Directors) meetings and at key project milestones, presenting business cases, evidence, and progress to build board confidence and credibility in the product line; bring core team members into these sessions when it strengthens that case. Participate in monthly Bridge Role meetings with department directors—the connective tissue between the product team and cross‑departmental leadership—presenting roadmap, business case, and evidence updates, and partnering on planning for the product’s ongoing support and growth beyond launch.

Conduct ongoing market research to identify trends, gaps, and opportunities in the education sector. Collaborate with educators, administrators, and technology partners to ensure product relevance and feasibility. Generate, refine, and prioritize innovative product ideas that align with impact and revenue goals.

Lead the design and development of product prototypes that bring early concepts to life and enable rapid iteration. Design and execute testing strategies to gather user feedback, validate assumptions, and refine product concepts and prototypes. Lead roadmap creation and iterative development from concept to launch. Build business cases and secure executive buy‑in and resources.

Own and continuously refine the product backlog in the team’s tools of record (e.g., Jira, Confluence), writing clear epics, stories, and acceptance criteria that translate strategy into sprint‑ready work. Facilitate agile ceremonies—sprint planning, backlog refinement, and retrospectives—and maintain a consistent sprint cadence in partnership with delivery/project management. Track delivery health (velocity, cycle time) and drive iterative, evidence‑based delivery: ship in small increments and adjust scope based on real user feedback and data.

Collaborate with researchers, instructional designers, UX, engineering, and go‑to‑market teams, with clear ownership across the team. Facilitate agile rituals and ensure alignment across product, design, and technical execution. Manage timelines, dependencies, and deliverables to ensure high‑quality outcomes.

Manage the budget for product innovation, ensuring efficient and strategic use of resources. Monitor product performance and iterate based on user feedback, learning outcomes, and business impact.
