Remote (UK-based) | Full-time, Fixed-Term to 31 March 2027 | Salary: £71,043 + benefits including 4.5-day week and 11% employer pension

Do your best work, for the right reasons.

We’re looking for an experienced Product Manager on a fixed-term basis to help us build beautifully simple, high-impact digital products that support teachers and improve outcomes for pupils across the UK.

Oak is a fully remote, mission-driven organisation offering high levels of flexibility, autonomy, and purpose. We’re a national not-for-profit working in partnership with teachers to create the highest-quality, sequenced curriculum and lesson resources for pupils across all subjects and age groups.

Our culture has been independently recognised through:

Flexa verified (93% overall score, including 95% for working hours and 97% for role modelling)

Escape the City's Top 1% Employers – based on anonymous colleague reviews of culture, development, and impact

Investors in People Gold - through external accreditation and colleague feedback

About the Role

You’ll join our cross-functional team to build and improve the digital products and platforms that support teachers, pupils and Oak’s internal teams. This may include the public-facing experiences used in schools every day, as well as the internal tools and workflows we use to create, manage and publish high-quality curriculum content.

Working closely with software engineers, designers, researchers and curriculum specialists, you’ll make sure our products meet real user needs and deliver meaningful impact.

This is a hands-on role focused on owning delivery within cross-functional squads: setting priorities, managing pace and keeping work on track against our OKRs and release schedules. You’ll help shape Oak's product strategy and turn it into clear roadmaps, initiatives and prototypes, then drive launches alongside our school support, education and senior teams. You'll get things done through influence rather than line management, and contribute to Oak’s wider goals and values.

What you'll be doing:

Own delivery within cross-functional squads: set priorities, manage the pace of work, and keep squad output on track against OKRs and release schedules.

Identify, champion and deliver user-focused products that grow usage and improve user experience based on a deep understanding of Oak's users using lean and agile methodologies.

Drive product and feature launches by working with the school support team, senior team, and other product and education team members.

Support the development of Oak's product strategy and OKRs, and translate this into detailed roadmaps, initiatives and prototypes.

Manage digital spending by scoping and prioritising development work.

Identify and fill product gaps, generating new ideas that improve the experience for teachers, pupils and Oak's internal teams.

Use user insight, data and clear hypotheses to test assumptions, inform product decisions and iterate based on what you learn.

Act as a product champion, using data and clear hypotheses to guide product development, test assumptions and iterate based on what you learn.

As a member of the Oak Team, you will contribute to the wider success and culture of the organisation.
