Are You an Experienced Product Manager Ready to Make an Impact in K–12 Education?

Instructional Empowerment (IE) is seeking a seasoned, strategic Product Manager to lead the vision, roadmap, and business performance of our Model of Instruction for Deeper Learning (MOI 4DL) product line.

We are looking for an accomplished product management professional with recognized product management experience, extensive K–12/EdTech experience, and a proven ability to turn market opportunities into successful products.

This role goes beyond managing features and development timelines. You'll own product strategy, evaluate market demand, guide investment decisions, and drive measurable adoption, instructional impact, and revenue growth.

At Instructional Empowerment, our mission is to end generational poverty and eliminate achievement gaps through rigorous Tier 1 instruction that ensures deeper learning for ALL students.

What You'll Do

Lead Product Strategy & Innovation

  • Own the MOI 4DL product vision, roadmap, and lifecycle, aligning priorities with customer needs, market opportunities, and organizational goals.
  • Identify emerging trends, competitive advantages, and technologies that enhance product value and instructional impact.
  • Translate customer insights and market research into strategic product decisions and development priorities.

Champion the K–12 Customer

  • Understand the instructional challenges facing district leaders, school administrators, instructional coaches, and teachers.
  • Use customer feedback, school visits, market research, and product data to identify opportunities and improve product adoption.
  • Apply knowledge of K–12 funding, procurement, and purchasing decisions to develop solutions that meet customer and market needs.

Drive Product Performance & Business Results

  • Manage product performance with a profit-and-loss mindset, including revenue, profitability, pricing, and return on investment.
  • Develop business cases, financial forecasts, and market assessments to guide product investments.
  • Monitor adoption, engagement, customer retention, instructional outcomes, and revenue performance to inform strategic decisions.

Lead Cross-Functional Execution & Go-to-Market Success

  • Partner with engineering, product development, marketing, sales, and customer success to deliver high-value solutions.
  • Define product requirements, prioritize development initiatives, and guide Agile teams through successful releases.
  • Collaborate with Product Marketing on positioning, launches, sales enablement, and strategies that generate qualified leads and revenue growth.

What We're Looking For

Required Qualifications

  • Minimum of 5 years of product management experience in K–12 education or EdTech, including demonstrated ownership of product strategy, roadmaps, prioritization, and product lifecycle decisions, along with a strong understanding of instructional products and district purchasing processes.
  • Bachelor's degree in Business, Product Management, Marketing, Education, Technology, or a related field, or equivalent relevant professional preparation.
  • At least 3 years of experience working with Agile software development teams.
  • Demonstrated experience evaluating market opportunities, developing business cases, and using financial and performance data to guide product decisions.
  • Strong strategic thinking, analytical, financial, communication, and cross-functional leadership skills.
  • Ability to work remotely within the Eastern or Central U.S. time zones.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Advanced degree in Business, Education, Educational Technology, or a related field.
  • Recognized professional product management certification, such as Pragmatic Institute, Product School, AIPMM Certified Product Manager (CPM), or a comparable credential.

  • Success partnering with Product Marketing and Sales on go-to-market strategies and product launches.

You combine strong business judgment with an understanding of K–12 education, confidently make data-informed decisions, and influence cross-functional teams to achieve meaningful results.

Most importantly, you're passionate about creating products that improve teaching and learning for ALL students.

About Instructional Empowerment

At Instructional Empowerment, our mission is to end generational poverty and eliminate achievement gaps through redesigned rigorous Tier 1 instruction that ensures deeper learning for ALL students. We believe true empowerment is achieved when systems and structures align to ensure students engage in rigorous, standards-based tasks that build knowledge with peers in collaborative, interdependent teams.

We partner with school and district leaders to build schools’ capacity and instructional systems, driving rapid, measurable, and long-term student outcomes. By shifting from teacher-directed instruction to student-led team learning, we empower every student to become an independent, critical thinker who takes ownership of their learning.

We are so serious about our mission that we founded our own independent Applied Research Center. Our research center verifies every project using the most exacting federal research standards. We ensure our methods work in every school and every classroom in all the different communities that our partner schools serve.

When implemented effectively, student-led team learning has been proven to close or narrow opportunity and achievement gaps. We see this impact across our partner schools, where students develop the high-agency skills essential for success in a rapidly evolving world. If you believe what we believe, we hope you’ll join us to make the teaching and learning process more empowering for every child and educator.
