Job Description
Lea is seeking a Product Manager to join the Learning Experience team. Youโll be the 4th PM at Brilliant overall โ youโll be responsible for executing on the learning experience product roadmap, leading feature development, and optimizing functionality of our core learning UI and systems.
Your initial focus will be on product execution and delivery of core features to create a solid footing with our unique platform and pedagogy. Over time, you'll take on larger responsibilities and lead initiatives from conception through launch.
Some features that the Learning Experience team shipped recently include our block-based coding environment, a new learning format called practice, and a way to author practice by our in-house content team.
Your work will help learners around the world understand topics from vector math to predicting with probability to how LLMs work in an inspiring and interactive way. The transition from passive to active learning online is still in its infancy: come build the future of interactive learning with us!
Responsibilities
- Collaborate closely with pedagogy experts, interactive designers, and engineers to enhance the learning experience on our platform
- Execute on feature development and implement changes and experiments for the core learning experience
- Support the development of product roadmaps aligning with key company objectives
- Conduct data analysis, user research, and experiment design to inform product decisions and set simple proxy KPIs
- Assist in running user research, prototyping, shipping, and evaluating new features of the core learning experience, including collaborating with content authors and other stakeholders
- Develop a thorough understanding of our pedagogical approach and its constraints to ensure that the product roadmap facilitates the needs of course authors to express themselves
- Provide clear communication across disciplines to align, organize and motivate team members towards shared goals that drive impact
- A keen interest in balancing the trade-offs between making authoring tools easy to use and ensuring a great user-facing experience, understanding how these aspects are deeply linked and impact overall business outcomes
You...
- Have a passion for driving growth and making an outsized business impact
- Possess core product management skills, including data analysis, A/B testing, user research, and managing the lifecycle of a feature
- Are proficient in evaluating technical constraints and integrating them into a product strategy
- Comfortable working in small groups with experienced individual contributors, particularly designers and engineers
- Have a proven ability to prioritize, manage, and execute multiple tasks and projects in a fast-paced environment
- Have (or are excited to develop) a deep understanding of the existing math, data and computer science digital learning landscape
You should have
- 2 years of experience in product management or 4 years in other relevant roles in consumer-facing products (e.g., design, engineering, learning content creation). Experience in bottoms-up SaaS products (like Slack or Figma) or mobile gaming are also likely fits.
- An affinity for quantitative topics (at least one of math, computer science, or data).
- A bias to โshow, not tellโ when communicating ideas. You can produce a fat-marker sketch, a basic Figma prototype, or a code-snippet.
- A CS degree or equivalent technical experience is preferred. Weโd like you to be comfortable with technical concepts and not intimidated by looking at code or understanding simple programming logic (e.g., being able to identify what a "fizzbuzz" function does).
- Ideally (but not required), familiarity with API design and home-grown CMS systems.
