Senior Content Product Manager: AI-Enhanced, Remote

Pearson; Washington (District of Columbia); Remote; USD 165,000 - 185,000; Full time

Job summary

Pearson is seeking a senior product manager to standardize how content gets planned, built, and measured across business units. You will model taxonomy and metadata, redesign production workflows, and guide teams to high-quality plans and artifacts, including MRDs and PRDs.

You’ll collaborate with editorial and engineering to deliver AI-enabled content solutions, mentoring PMs along the way. You will sit with content teams, drive adoption of a common spine, and help the community of practice

Qualifications

• Seven or more years of product management experience, with that experience concentrated in content, publishing, or content platform domains, and with demonstrable technical depth.
• Hands-on ownership of content standards work: taxonomy and metadata design, quality frameworks, structured content, and the measurement that shows whether any of it landed.
• Direct experience with authoring, production, and delivery platforms (CMS, DAM, LCMS, structured or XML-based content systems), including at least one consolidation or migration you personally helped deliver.
• Personally built and shipped substantive content systems work as the owning PM, including with current AI tooling. At least one significant build in the last 12 to 18 months, not oversight of others who built.
• Experience in empowered product team models (SVPG-style or similar) where the unit of ownership is an outcome rather than a delivery list, with strong experience participating in, and ideally creating, value-centric planning processes such as QBRs or roadmap planning.
• Track record running rigorous continuous discovery, both generative and evaluative, and translating it into outcomes for content.
• Track record redesigning production workflows and proving the productivity or quality gain that resulted.
• Experience coaching other PMs and leaders, including those more senior, more experienced, or more skeptical than you, without alienating them.
• Strong written and verbal communication. Clear, concrete, and effective with both technical and senior business audiences.
• Comfortable shifting between hands-on execution and coaching in the same week.

Responsibilities

• Embed content build and standards within real business unit work, aligning quality data standards and taxonomy.
• Redesign and shorten production workflows, removing handoffs and rework.
• Partner with content leaders across Pearson through strategy, planning, and craft.
• Guide teams to high-quality plans and content strategy tracing to learner jobs and outcomes.
• Design and deliver training anchored in Pearson’s content problems.
• Contribute to the content job family and community of practice.
• Build AI fluency across the content talent base in a practical, applied way.
• Identify manual content tasks worth automating and prototype the value.
• Bring evaluation, telemetry, and human-in-the-loop design to AI-assisted content generation and QA.
