Product Manager (Remote)

Remote - US


Title: Product Manager

Company: Seesaw Learning

Location: Remote - US

Team: Product

Work Type: Full Time

 

About Us:


Trusted and loved by 25 million educators, students, and families worldwide, Seesaw is the only elementary learning experience platform, offering a suite of award-winning tools, resources, and curriculum for teachers to deliver joyful, inclusive instruction. Through interactive lessons, digital portfolios, and two-way communication features, Seesaw keeps everyone in the learning loop by providing continuous visibility into the student's learning experience to support and celebrate their learning.


Our Mission:


Seesaw’s mission is to provide every elementary student with joyful and connected learning experiences that lay the foundation for success in life.


Your Team:


Solving impactful problems on Seesaw’s Product Management team feels different from any other place. First, we are given lots of ownership over the product roadmap early on, collaborating on how and when things will be built from the start. Second, we have a strong connection to the user, listening to teacher feedback and observing how students and families interact with the platform in real life to iterate over our releases. And third, we enjoy ample autonomy to experiment and grow, and often see our ideas pushed to production in weeks, not months.


Globally, millions of children rely on Seesaw every day. While we derive a deep sense of purpose from being able to improve students’ learning, it also means we’re emotionally invested in both the successes and failures. So when a child can’t log into their account or something on the platform breaks, we feel it. 


Like the rest of the company, our team is growing fast. Keeping up with the pace of growth can be challenging, and we need your flexibility as we define and refine what we need to be. We often learn by shipping, so you won’t find an obsession with rigid processes here. As our team ramps up hiring, we’re committed to diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI); constantly surveying employees, participating in training, and learning from our DEI Committee.


Though we care deeply and work diligently, there’s no extra credit for working long nights or spending weekends squashing bugs. When we’re off, we’re really off, enjoying our personal lives and recharging our batteries.


At the end of the day, we delight in how much our users adore our product. It’s incredibly fulfilling to read thank you tweets from teachers and know that, hey, we built something that makes a meaningful impact! And while we saw tremendous growth during the pandemic, we’ve still got a lot more growing to do. Joining our team now means you’ll get to help us innovate the next features that make the learning experience even better. 


Your Role:


Seesaw is seeking a highly motivated and collaborative individual to join our team as a Product Manager. As a Product Manager at Seesaw, you will play a crucial role in shaping the future of our platform and ensuring it continues to provide exceptional experiences for educators, students, and families.

  • Release Management: Work closely with engineers to manage product releases. Utilize project management tools like Jira and Github to track progress and ensure timely delivery of features and enhancements.
  • Product Roadmap Planning: Facilitate and contribute to roadmap planning, collaborating with different teams to propose and own problem spaces and roadmap items. Continuously evolve project-level roadmaps throughout the year based on insights and feedback, allowing for flexibility based on project requirements and seasonality.
  • Stakeholder Communication: Act as a key point of contact between internal teams and external stakeholders. Gather feedback from educators and administrators to inform product decisions and ensure their needs are met.
  • Competitive Analysis: Keep abreast of industry trends and competitor products. Conduct regular analysis to identify opportunities and areas for differentiation, leading to improvements and innovation within Seesaw's product offerings.


Your Requirements:

  • 2+ years of experience working within K12 educational institutions
  • High attention to detail, organization/project management skills, and collaboration across multiple teams 
  • Exceptional communication skills with the ability to present complex ideas in a clear and concise manner.
  • Strong problem-solving skills and a passion for improving educational experiences.
