Why Join Us?
At Dr Frost Learning, a mission-driven education charity, we believe that every student deserves the opportunity to excel in mathematics, regardless of background. As we scale, we are seeking a hands-on Product Manager with strong delivery discipline to take ownership of our product execution. You will work closely with the CEO and CTO to translate strategy into a clear, prioritised roadmap and ensure consistent, high-quality delivery working with a small dedicated engineering team.
This role requires someone who is comfortable at translating strategy into operational deliverables, introducing structure where needed, and driving work through to completion in a lean, fast-moving environment. An implementation orientated product manager providing a pivotal role in the company to provide the bridge between pedagogy, user needs and technical development, designing for the complex education ecosystem.
About the Charity
Dr Frost Maths is an online platform supporting the teaching and learning of mathematics from KS2 to A level. It is used by tens of thousands of teachers and hundreds of thousands of students, both in schools and independently and our paid subscription base is set to grow to over 2,000 schools. We have strong brand recognition which combined with our charitable status differentiates us from our competitors.
As we enter our fourth year as a charity, our priorities are to deepen the engagement with our platform and our offering in Maths so as to widen our impact for teachers and students particularly in schools with high levels of social deprivation. This will enable growth in our subscription base so as to migrate from a reliance on philanthropic funding to a full subscription model.

Direct Reports: UX Designer
Key Stakeholders: CTO, Founder (Chief Mathematician), Head of Content, Head of Customer Support
Key Responsibilities
We are looking for a hands-on, delivery-focused Product Manager to take ownership of translating strategy into clear, executable work for engineering teams.
