About the role:
The product manager will have a truly unique opportunity to shape Mentor Collective’s product and increase our impact on US higher education.

Educators: We are on a mission to make higher education more equitable.

By innovating on our web application, inventing new tools and features, and empathizing deeply with educators, you will drive key business-level metrics and help our partners create change within the institutions.

Internal Users: Relationships are at the core of MC’s 70+ college partnerships. You will build and iterate on tools to empower our partner success team, the people who bring a human touch to our mentors, mentees, and educators.
