Product Manager (K-12 Education)

Are you enthusiastic about building products that create meaningful classroom impact with a strong belief in science education?

At Vernier Science Education, we advance science education by empowering educators and inspiring learners. We're seeking a Product Manager, K-12 to help shape innovative STEM solutions used by educators and students across elementary, middle, and high school classrooms.

This is a rare opportunity to do true go-to-market product management in EdTech. You'll own product strategy and roadmap direction while partnering closely with sales, marketing, customer success, curriculum, and engineering teams to bring impactful learning solutions to market. This is not a product owner role focused solely on feature delivery. Instead, you'll spend significant time engaging directly with teachers, administrators, and customers to deeply understand classroom needs and translate those insights into product direction and market impact.

The ideal candidate brings a strong product mindset, customer curiosity, and the ability to balance educator needs, business priorities, and technical considerations. Success in this role is measured not only by products launched, but by the educational outcomes and experiences created for teachers and students.

What you bring

• 5+ years of product management experience in EdTech, software development, or related industries.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in education, business, computer science, or related field - or equivalent practical experience.
• Experience managing products through the full lifecycle, from discovery through launch and iteration.
• Experience translating customer and market insights into product requirements, roadmap priorities, and product decisions.
• Strong analytical and decision-making skills rooted in user needs and data.
• Experience conducting customer interviews, user research, or observational discovery work.
• Ability to balance customer needs, business objectives, and technical constraints in prioritization decisions.
• Experience working cross-functionally with engineering, curriculum/content development, marketing, sales, and customer-facing teams.
• Experience working in Agile or similar iterative product development environments.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills across technical and non-technical audiences.
• Experience in K-12 STEM education, classroom technology, connected hardware, or scientific tools is a plus.
• Former teaching or classroom experience is a plus.
• Commitment to equity, inclusion, and science education.
