Senior Product Manager

About

The company builds SAAS that helps higher education institutions support students and graduates at every stage of their journey — from experiential learning to career outcomes. Our Engagement Hub connects students, alumni, and staff through mentorship, community, and career networks; and gives platform administrators the tools to run community at scale.

The Role

We're looking for a Senior Product Manager to drive the strategy for administrator experience of the Engagement Hub — the tools our clients use every day to run mentorship, community, and engagement programs.

Your goal will be resolve persistent admin pain-points, close the loop on client-raised needs quickly and visibly, and then go further — by building a roadmap that would automate the workflows admins shouldn't have to run by hand and increase product stickiness,

What You'll Do

• Own the admin experience roadmap for the Engagement Hub: Discovery through delivery, balancing client commitments, strategic bets, and engineering capacity. Build and maintain focus-area roadmaps, prioritizing work based on user value, company strategy, and measurable outcomes .

• Become the product expert for assigned product areas by understanding workflows, user behavior, technical considerations, and business impact.

• Resolve persistent platform admin pain-points: identify the workflows that cost admins the most time, quantify them, and ship fixes that measurably reduce administrative effort. Build agents to automate and simplify the workflows.

• Run the client-request intake process end to end: You'll triage, prioritise, set expectations with customer success for urgent client requests, and keep resolution timely and predictable.

• Partner closely with CS and Support: They are your highest-volume signal source; turn recurring asks and escalations into product decisions rather than one-off fixes

• Serve as a key voice in go-to-market readiness — working with CS and marketing on positioning, release communications, and client onboarding

• Collaborate with the VP of Product on annual and quarterly planning, contributing to roadmap strategy and resource prioritization

• Work closely with Engineering and Design from concept through requirements, build, launch, and iteration.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years of product management experience, with at least 2 years owning a complex B2B SaaS product

• Demonstrated experience owning admin, back-office, or operator-facing tooling — you've made someone's daily job materially easier and can show how you measured it.

• Experience running a structured intake and prioritization process for client-raised requests, working directly with CS/Support/Sales, and saying no gracefully.

• Strong operating instincts in a high-volume, interrupt-driven backlog — you can hold a strategic roadmap and a triage queue at the same time without dropping either

• Demonstrated ability to navigate ambiguity and drive clarity — you can move from messy problem space to crisp requirements

• Hands-on curiosity about applied AI — you've shipped, prototyped, or seriously evaluated LLM-powered features and have real opinions on where automation earns trust and where it doesn't

• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills; you know how to influence without authority

• Comfort working in a distributed, async-first environment with a globally distributed team

• Curiosity, rigour, and a bias toward outcomes over output

• Experience with Jira, Confluence, Mixpanel, or similar product ops tooling

Nice to Have

• Experience with higher education, alumni relations, mentorship, or community/networking platforms

• Experience designing human-in-the-loop or approval-gated automation

• Prior experience at a growth-stage edtech or vertical SaaS company

Why the company

• Mission-driven work with real impact on student and alumni outcomes

• Small, senior team — your work shapes the product meaningfully

• Fully remote with a collaborative, low-ego culture

• Competitive salary, equity, and benefits
