Job Description
Founding Head of Product leading product vision at Medley Learning, focusing on AI solutions for K-12 education. Collaborating with stakeholders to enhance engagement and outcomes for diverse learners.
Responsibilities:
- Own Product Vision and Roadmap: Define and prioritize the roadmap, balancing student outcomes, teacher needs, and district priorities while maintaining a high-quality bar.
- Stay Close to the Classroom: Spend time with students, teachers, and district leaders to understand their needs and keep the product grounded in classroom reality.
- Lead the Expansion into Special Education: Build and sequence the special education roadmap to strengthen Medley’s core multilingual learner product.
- Ship with Engineering: Partner closely with Engineering to turn ideas into shipped features, building a delightful user experience and interface for both students and teachers.
- Define Product Metrics and Operating Cadence: Establish key product metrics and operating rhythms that guide decisions and scale a strong product organization.
- Build and Lead the Product Team: While the first year will be scrappy and hands-on, over time, you will build a product team that drives adoption, retention, and impact.
Requirements:
- Student and Teacher Empathy. Classroom reality isn't abstract to you. You've designed for or worked closely with kids, teachers, or educators.
- Product Craft. You have experience building and shipping products that users value. You can speak clearly about the tradeoffs you made and what you'd do differently now.
- AI-Native Product Judgment. You use AI fluently in your own work and have strong judgment about where it belongs in high-trust classroom environments. You follow where AI capabilities are heading, but you care more about building useful, reliable, and responsible products than chasing novelty.
- User Research Instincts. You know how to learn from teachers and students and turn what you hear into sharper roadmap choices.
- Clarity of Thought. You make ambiguity easier to navigate. You can write crisp specs, explain tradeoffs, separate signal from noise, and help engineers, educators, executives, and district partners understand what matters and why.
- Commercial Orientation. You understand that strong K-12 product decisions must account for adoption, implementation, renewals, procurement, and stakeholder trust.
- Startup Orientation. You thrive in early-stage environments, embrace ambiguity, and stay hands-on even in senior roles.
Benefits:
- Offers Equity
