Our students don’t just improve—they excel, earning multiple 4s and 5s on AP exams and consistently exceeding their own expectations.
This is not a conventional product management role.

You will be accountable for making critical technical trade‑offs that keep our products lean, scalable, and relentlessly focused on improving student outcomes.

* Pure people management; your technical and business acumen will be the critical drivers in this position.
