We’re a 40-person fully remote team spread across the globe from Nebraska to Pakistan. As an organisation, we are remote first, asynchronous by default. This is a remote job. We’re hiring from anywhere with at least 4 hours of overlap with Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) during a normal work day (GMT -5 to +2). This could be a 8:00-12:00 from New York, but we’re not hiring from places that require a graveyard shift to make the overlap happen.
You will
- Help coach excellent PMs and shield them from the noise, allowing them the space needed for complex problem solving and innovation. We currently have 2 other PMs, but a much more complex product, market, and team than that would indicate. Our PMs cover a lot of ground.

- Work with your engineering counterpart to own and improve our Product Team’s processes, leading to better product decisions and execution.
- Alongside our other PMs, own a Product Area, defining the strategy and delivering product outcomes.
- Work directly with academic leadership (our economic buyers) and educators (our users) to discuss Aula’s product strategy.
- Be a part of a high-performing and inclusive team that values autonomy.Work with your teammates to set high goals — and celebrate success when we hit them.
- Contribute to building a collaborative, productive and friendly remote workplace.
