Job Purpose

Great Minds was built on a restless conviction: that every student deserves nothing less than our best, and that the status quo in curriculum has never been good enough. We're looking for a Product Manager to help develop and execute the full lifecycle of our core Math product line to ensure it aligns to Great Minds' mission of serving all students with high-quality, knowledge building, instructional materials. Reporting to the Senior Manager, Product, you'll serve as the voice of the customer by bringing market research, user insights, and data-driven analysis to shape roadmap, scope, pricing, and go-to-market strategy. This is a role for a product leader who believes that coherence isn't a feature, it's a philosophy. The ideal candidate brings deep experience building and leading high-performing teams in K-12 math education, a track record of driving complex product portfolios from strategy through delivery, and an unwavering belief that every child is capable of greatness. This leader thrives in a mission-driven environment where urgency, rigor, and accountability are the standard.
