Position Overview

We are seeking a Content Product Manager to join our Product Strategy team. Reporting to the Director of Research and Product Strategy, you will be instrumental in leading content strategy for our Assessment and Analytics portfolio, with a primary focus on the product Formative.

You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to shape learning science-aligned platform enhancements, ensuring that product and content development efforts align with district needs and reflect best practices in assessment design and data-driven instructional support.
