Senior AI Product Manager

Thanks for your interest in Success Academy! Running a large, fast-growing, and high-performing network of public charter schools takes a village - families, children, teachers, staff and faculty, advocates, and supporters alike. We are growing fast in New York and expanding to Florida, and we would love to welcome you to our community! We work tirelessly every day to ensure children have access to a fun, rigorous, whole-child education regardless of zip code or economic status. When you join SA, you play a part in giving every student who walks through our doors a fair shot at reaching his or her potential.

Success Academy Charter Schools is seeking an experienced Senior AI Product Manager to drive the adoption and deployment of artificial intelligence tools across our organization. This is a high-impact, cross-functional role that sits at the intersection of technology, education, and operations. You will serve as the primary champion for AI literacy and capability-building at SA, partnering with teams throughout the network to identify opportunities, launch AI-powered projects, and upskill staff to work confidently with emerging tools. We are building toward becoming the first AI-native K-12 enterprise in the country, transforming every workflow, from classroom content to legal contracts to college counseling, into an AI-first process. The person in this role will be at the center of that transformation.


What You'll Do:

AI Training & Enablement

• Design and deliver hands-on training programs to equip teams across SA with the AI skills and workflows they need to do their jobs better and faster.
• Develop practical guides, playbooks, and resources that demystify AI tools for a non-technical audience.
• Build a community of AI champions within SA's departments, fostering a culture of experimentation and continuous learning.
• Stay current on the latest AI developments and translate them into actionable opportunities for the organization.

AI Project Deployment

• Partner with department leaders to identify, scope, and prioritize AI integration opportunities across academic, operational, and administrative functions.
• Own end-to-end project management for AI deployments - from requirements gathering and vendor evaluation through implementation, testing, and rollout.
• Manage relationships with AI tool vendors and external partners, ensuring deliverables meet SA's quality and compliance standards.
• Define success metrics for each AI initiative and track outcomes, sharing learnings with senior leadership on a regular cadence.
• Collaborate with IT, data, legal, and compliance teams to ensure responsible, secure, and equitable AI adoption.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience in project management, technology implementation, AI engineering, or a related field with 1-2 years of direct people management experience.
• Demonstrated fluency with modern AI tools and platforms, with hands-on experience using Claude (Anthropic) and OpenAI products in a professional setting.
• Proven track record of managing complex, cross-functional projects from inception through successful delivery.
• Strong communication and facilitation skills - able to translate technical concepts for diverse audiences and inspire confidence in AI adoption.
• Comfort working in fast-moving, ambiguous environments where priorities evolve, and creative problem-solving is essential.
• Must be based in New York City and available to work in the office on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday each week.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with agentic AI frameworks and comfort building or overseeing agent workflows.
• Experience with rapid app development platforms such as Lovable, Replit, or similar AI-assisted build tools.
• Knowledge of AI governance, data privacy considerations, and responsible AI principles.
