About the role

Role Overview

Product Manager (Remote - US) on the Product Management team, responsible for building and improving the experience on Newsela. You will work cross-functionally with marketing, design, success, and product peers (including the Supplemental ELA product manager) to ensure features meet classroom needs for teachers and students.

Responsibilities

  • Build features and tools that directly impact teachers and students.
  • Own the platform experience by defining what gets built, why, and in what order in close partnership with engineering.
  • Collaborate with design and internal content/ELA pedagogy experts across the product lifecycle (discovery → launch) to validate solutions to real classroom challenges.
  • Partner with a fast-moving, AI-forward engineering team to deliver high-impact features.
  • Translate ambiguous problems into clear priorities and hold cross-functional partners accountable for scope and timelines.
  • Use data to identify what’s working, what isn’t, and where the greatest opportunities are.

Requirements

  • 3+ years of experience in product management scaling new or existing products.
  • Experience in EdTech/K-12 education, SaaS, or working with instructional products (preferred).
  • Experience working closely with design and subject-matter experts (content/pedagogy), not just handing off requirements.
  • Demonstrated comfort using AI tools as part of daily product workflow, with enthusiasm for an AI-first team.
  • Strong analytical skills with ability to dig into data directly.

Nice to Haves

  • Strong alignment with instructional/ELA pedagogy and classroom learning outcomes.

Additional Notes
