Data-driven simulations work like virtual coaches, adapting to every person’s pace and skills while responding to their mistakes. We provide a better way to train young adults for the skills they need to succeed on the job. Our immersive Experience Training method helps trainees build confidence in their knowledge, skills and abilities.

  • Coordinate and communicate both externally with customers and internally with team management and Client Services.
  • Verify that simulations and other products meet industry expectations and provide the final approval for release to customers.
  • Work closely with sales enablement, marketing, and development teams to ensure product line goals are met.
  • Work with external third parties to assess partnerships and licensing opportunities.

Requirements:

  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in product management (learning product/training experience a plus).

  • Experience working with agile engineering teams (preferably in gaming or virtual reality products).
