The posting

We are looking for a Group Product Manager to own and drive the core portfolio of the Top Hat platform — product domains where instructors and students interact in and around the classroom every day. This role requires someone who can execute flawlessly while thinking strategically, build coalitions across teams, and represent the product vision to executive leadership.

You'll be responsible for key domains of the Top Hat platform, serving millions of students and thousands of instructors in higher education, leading a team of Product Managers. This is a high-impact, high-visibility role where your decisions directly influence both product strategy and business outcomes.

You will:

- Strategic Leadership

- Define and champion the long-term product vision, strategy, and roadmap for your portfolio, ensuring alignment with company objectives and market opportunities

- Drive product-market fit and sustainable competitive advantage through continuous customer research, market analysis, and strategic positioning

- Act as thought leader and portfolio representative to executive leadership, cross-functional partners, and external stakeholders

- Develop compelling business cases that connect product investments to revenue, retention, and strategic value

- People Leadership & Coaching

- Own the growth of your PMs: give clear, direct feedback, run meaningful 1:1s, and help them level up against our career framework

- Coach by asking questions rather than handing over answers—develop their judgment instead of substituting your own

- Set direction and standards, then delegate with trust and hold people accountable to outcomes

- Build a team and a direction strong enough to run well without you in the room

- Execution & Delivery

- Ship high-quality products on time across your portfolio, leading by example on product craft from ideation through launch and iteration

- Move fast with strong judgment on value vs. risk tradeoffs—make swift decisions without analysis paralysis

- Maintain technical independence: spin up MVPs quickly, pull data directly from databases, and validate hypotheses rapidly

- Operate confidently against a seasonal academic calendar where term-start deadlines are immovable

- Cross-Functional Influence & Customer Discovery

- Lead through influence, not authority—build coalitions and align stakeholders proactively

- Build strong partnerships with Engineering, Design, Data, GTM, Customer Success, and Marketing, and hold your position when senior stakeholders push back

- Conduct customer discovery, using prototypes to validate ideas with real users early and often

- Recruit customer design partners and stand up pilot programs for validation

You are:

Must-Haves

- 5+ years of product management experience, with 1+ years in a management role

- Demonstrated experience coaching and growing product managers, including those early in their careers

- Technical fluency: Comfortable with SQL, APIs, BI tools, and AI tools. Able to spin up prototypes independently or with minimal eng. support

- Track record of shipping complex, cross-functional products on time and at high quality

- You finish what you start, don't let things fall through the cracks, and are known for reliability

- Experience building business cases with financial projections, ROI analysis, and strategic value articulation

- Experience with AI-assisted development tools, for work or personal projects

- Experience building/prototyping with AI tools (vibe coding) and presenting working demos

- Experience building MCP integrations

- Startup and entrepreneurial mindset, comfortable leading engineers and data scientists

- Experience working with execs and cross-functional stakeholders

Bonus

- Experience in EdTech, SaaS, or B2B2C business models

- History of leading integrations or complex multi-product initiatives, with strong understanding of data interoperability and ability to present a unified strategy across these multiple interconnected products

- Experience with accounts, billing, provisioning, or other platform and infrastructure product areas

- Background in mobile product management, or leading both web and native mobile surfaces in one portfolio

- Background in high tech and/or education, ideally edtech or a large tech platform

What Makes You Exceptional

- You have strong opinions, loosely held—you challenge respectfully when you disagree

- You proactively identify problems before they become blockers and act quickly to resolve them

- You bring clarity to ambiguity: communications are clear, actionable, and well-documented

- You love helping others grow, helping them navigate new situations and unlocking their potential

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
