Descripción de la vacante

Nelnet’s NextGen division seeks a hands-on Group Product Manager to own one or more NextGen solutions, lead a small team of Product Managers, and drive discovery, requirements, and shipping in close collaboration with engineering and design partners.

You will shape a cohesive strategy across NextGen, align stakeholders, and build AI-enabled features to reduce manual work for campus staff and improve student experiences.

Formación

• 6+ years of product management experience with a strong track record of shipping products yourself, including 1+ years mentoring or directly managing other Product Managers.
• Experience partnering with go-to-market teams to launch complex SaaS or platform products.
• Track record of personally shipping AI-enabled or data-driven software products with measurable business impact.
• Proven ability to align and influence stakeholders across engineering, design, and commercial functions.

Responsabilidades

• Own the product vision, strategy, and roadmap across the NextGen portfolio, translating business goals into a sequenced plan that delivers value to institutions and the students they serve.
• Identify opportunities to connect the portfolio - shared workflows, integrations, and data - so that NextGen solutions deliver more value together than they do on their own.
• Identify and build practical applications of AI-enabled across the portfolio, pushing for experiences that eliminate manual work for campus staff and simplify the journey for students, rather than ones that are only incrementally better.
• Keep a close eye on the higher education landscape - federal financial aid and student employment policy, competitive moves, and shifting institutional needs - and fold what you learn back into the roadmap.
• Partner with sales, marketing, implementation, and client support to plan and execute launches, making sure each release is market-ready, lands commercially, and is easy for institutions to adopt.
• Work closely with engineering on architecture and delivery cadence, managing trade-offs transparently to keep product quality, reliability, and timelines on track - especially around the time-sensitive cycles of the academic and financial aid year.
• Define success metrics across the portfolio - spanning adoption, retention, workflow completion, time saved for campus staff, and institutional satisfaction - and hold the team accountable to outcomes, not just outputs.
• Collaborate with compliance, security, and risk teams to ensure releases meet our SOC audit standards, FERPA, accessibility requirements, and applicable federal financial aid and student employment regulations.
