Product Manager

Role Description

aiEDU is looking for two experienced product managers to support aiEDU in the development of educator- and student-facing products. These are short-term (6 month), fractional independent contractor positions, with the potential for extension based on future needs. We expect that product managers in this role will leverage AI to significantly speed up the product development process, and will function as player-coaches, upskilling our own team in effective product development along the way.

• Project 1: Supporting our CEO and External team to build out vibecoding.aiedu.org . We envision this as a platform where educators, students, and partners can learn by building with AI. Over time, we anticipate this platform incorporating additional community-building elements like shared projects, monthly competitions, work showcases and community learning.
• Project 2: Supporting our Programs and Learning teams to revamp their educator-focused products, including building an updated Curriculum Management System to replace our current Curriculum Portal, and defining and building new, partner-facing products to augment our program facilitation.

The right person will not just manage the product process—they'll coach our internal teams through it, building PM capacity at aiEDU that outlasts the contract. You'll work closely with our teams to understand current workflows, define requirements, and shepherd us through vendor evaluation or build decisions. Along the way, you’ll upskill our team on AI-assisted product development, AI augmented workflows and the shared infrastructure required to take our work to the next level.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of product management experience, including experience leading 0→1.
• A hands-on AI power user, integrating AI into every stage of product development and evaluation.
• Significant expertise in UI/UX front end development.
• Technical fluency, including experience with authentication, data infrastructure and security and privacy considerations.
• Demonstrated ability to run discovery processes and user testing.
• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including strong documentation habits.
• Strong communication and facilitation skills—you can lead a cross-functional process without formal authority.
• Genuine interest in mentorship; you're comfortable explaining your process while doing it.

Requirements

• Experience working in K-12 education, educator professional learning, curriculum or student-facing technology, including addressing privacy, safety and equity issues.
• Familiarity with curriculum or learning operations workflows.
• Experience with tools commonly used in EdTech or content management (e.g., Clever, Google for Education) as well as Airtable.

Benefits

• This is an independent contractor role and is not benefits-eligible.
