The posting

Over the last 14 years, Ellevation Education has built a thriving business serving the educators who support English Learners. Today, nearly 2,000 districts across the country use Ellevation software to drive English Language Development (ELD) in their schools. We are a successful, growing business with a real mission: helping ELLs achieve their highest aspirations.

We're hiring a Senior Product Manager for our Data Ingest team as we pursue our goal of being the premier and most impactful ELD solution on the market. Just as we're evolving our product experience from a suite of point solutions into an integrated platform, we're evolving how we get data into that platform — moving from a patchwork of data ingestion tools to a single, scalable ingest engine. This role reports to a VP of Product and partners daily with Engineering and Data Operations team members.

You'll serve as a product leader for Data Ingest — building the tooling that brings rostering, EL program, and assessment data from a variety of systems into our platform. The core challenge is accurately ingesting imperfect raw data and representing it effectively across 2,000 districts. This involves reimaginging our technically complex, high-stakes data pipelines while ensuring all ingested data continues to effectively power downstream customer workflows across our product. The right candidate will bring a genuine love of data and technical fluency, a curious and evidence-based mindset to explore complex data problems in terms of user and business impact, combined with exceptional collaboration and communication skills to manage senior-level stakeholder alignment. In this role, you’ll have a tremendous impact across both internal operations and downstream customer workflows across our product.

Product Culture

1 month

  • Build an independent, evidence-grounded read on the key challenges and business context in your domain, including the data ingest ecosystem, data operations processes, and downstream product workflows, with attention to in-progress work and team priorities.
  • Establish high-trust relationships with your DevPro team, Data Operations, and cross-functional stakeholders across R&D and the business — operating as a peer from day one.
  • Understand Ellevation's approach to product development, including our Shape Up methodology and how we think about discovery, appetite, and scope.

3 months

  • Develop meaningful expertise in your domain, showing fluency in the product’s extract / transform / load architecture, troubleshooting product questions, and using relevant data to inform product perspectives. Understand the users you serve and the problems that matter most to them, and how all of it matters to the business.
  • Become an active contributor toward your product team’s initiatives, taking on user research, data analysis, problem framing, and enablement efforts.
  • Continue building influential, high trust relationships across the organization, helping stakeholders feel heard and informed and creating opportunities for them to plug into the work.

6 months

  • Take full accountability for the success of the product from idea to launch: Proactively drive product learning: set ambitious learning objectives and tackle them with user research, data analysis, and identifying hypotheses and testable product increments. Lead the team in working backwards from outcomes by raising risks and dependencies and driving execution. Drive go-to-market delivery as a first-class part of the job: internal teams are trained and adopting each release. Develop a clear, articulated point of view on opportunities in the problem space you own. Contribute to shaping product pitches with leadership. Build and sustain influence with senior stakeholders, evangelizing our product bets, surfacing tradeoffs, and developing alignment.

12 months

  • Use the expertise and context you have built over the past year to drive the team forward, anticipate tradeoffs, and identify new opportunities for future ingest investments to advance our broader business goals.
  • Develop a demonstrated track record of transforming ambiguous problems in the data ingest domain - whether technical or organizational - into successful outcomes for users and the business.
  • Influence and elevate others across the organization, collaborating to solve problems and raising the bar for how Product approaches technically complex domains.

About You

  • 5-8 years relevant experience, including at least 3 years in product management. Related experience welcome in data engineering, business intelligence, or analytics.
  • Passionate about data and data workflows. Experience with ETL data pipelines, data mapping and transformation, and comfortable digging in to troubleshoot or understand how data flows affects downstream users.
  • Demonstrated success leading highly technical ETL teams, with a deep interest in how things work. You dig in to understand technical concepts, explore systems impact, and weigh tradeoffs.
  • Evidence-driven and curious. You are genuinely interested in understanding the problems our internal users and customers face. You leverage direct user discovery and can run data analyses yourself to ground problem framing in real user and business impact.
  • AI-fluent. You've used AI tools - whether for data analysis, prototyping, or documentation - and you have a point of view on where they help in a domain like this.
  • Effective in cross-functional teams. You work well with a wide variety of people and are eager to be on a team where Product, Engineering, and Data Operations stakeholders collaborate daily.
  • Experience leading and managing senior cross functional stakeholders. You bring others along by articulating the “why” behind decisions, translate technical concepts for non-technical stakeholders, and treat enablement as a core part of the job.
  • Organized and dependable. You follow through on commitments, flag risks and questions early, and deliver reliably even under real operational pressure (e.g. Back to School season).
  • Strong learner. You actively learn from experience, solicit and apply feedback quickly, and can articulate how your thinking changed as a result.

Nice to Haves

  • Experience in education, working with multilingual learner communities, or a meaningful connection to the mission.
  • Capable of querying data (SQL or similar) to investigate a problem or support a decision — ideally with some comfort in a cloud data warehouse like Snowflake.
  • Basic data modeling familiarity — schemas, relationships between datasets, identifiers, and downstream data dependencies.
  • Experience with SIS (student information system) data, interoperability standards (OneRoster or similar), or hands-on experience with rostering platforms like Clever or ClassLink.
  • Exposure to internal tooling in enterprise B2B SaaS, where some of your “customers” are internal operations teams in addition to external end users.
  • Familiarity with product discovery methods: user interviews, lightweight prototyping, structured experimentation.

Travel Expectations

  • Boston-area strongly preferred
  • Role requires in-person presence in Boston at a minimum of two days each month, plus company offsites
