Senior Product Manager

GoGuardian is an outcomes-focused learning company dedicated to improving learning environments for K-12 education. They are seeking a Senior Product Manager to drive their New Products team, focusing on product direction, market success, and collaboration with schools and districts.

Responsibilities:

• Own day-to-day product direction across one or more products, including our recently launched products: roadmap, prioritization, release decisions, and outcomes
• Run beta and pilot programs end to end: recruit and manage pilot schools and districts, structure the feedback loops, decide what graduates and what gets cut
• Turn usage data, support themes, sales asks, and customer conversations into a ranked, defensible plan. Define the metrics that tell us whether the products are working and instrument what is missing
• Ship on a weekly cadence with a senior engineering team and a design partner: crisp written specs and decision memos, fast tradeoff calls, no ceremony for ceremony's sake
• Partner with go-to-market at the right gates (pricing tests, messaging validation, launch readiness) once concepts are validated, while protecting early-stage work from premature process
• Contribute to discovery and validation of new product opportunities, with room to take on bigger ownership as the portfolio grows

Requirements:

• 5+ years as the decision-making product manager on live software products, including at least one product you ran after launch through growth
• Someone with evidence of independent judgment: you have operated where the process did not do the thinking for you (an early-stage company, an under-resourced team, a carve-out unit), and given data and a roadmap you make good calls without an approval chain
• A strong writer. Our process asks you to write because the job does: you can compress a messy situation into two clear pages
• Fluent with data. You pull your own numbers, you know what they do and do not say, and you change your mind when they tell you to
• Experiment-minded. When the answer is not known, you form a hypothesis, run the smallest test that will settle it, and let the evidence make the call
• Comfortable with both ambiguity and cadence: no playbook, weekly shipping rhythm, both at once
• Calm, decisive, and opinionated, while remaining deeply evidence-driven
• Caring about whether schools are safe and engaging places to learn is a requirement
• K-12 or education technology experience is a plus, not a requirement
