About the Position

The Senior Product Manager, Learning Content owns the decisions behind what instructional and learning materials the organization builds, and how it drives measurable value for learners across TPR and Tutor.com. This is a product role at its core: the person in this seat identifies, evaluates, and prioritizes opportunities to create new instructional experiences and improve existing ones, and owns the outcome of that work. You will set and drive the roadmap across the product portfolio, moving with urgency and getting scrappy to turn ambiguous, high-potential opportunities into delivered improvements to students’ learning experience on our platform. You will be building learning content, not software, so your daily teammates will be content developers and editors rather than software engineers. But, you’ll need to deeply understand how content will surface and behave in the product; you will collaborate closely with other product and engineering team members to ensure a seamless and delightful experience for users of content in our platform.

Reporting into Product, the Senior Product Manager drives high-impact learning initiatives from opportunity through launch. The person in this role develops and owns the roadmap, builds and champions the story behind each initiative, and serves as the owner of content’s value within the learner experience. The ideal candidate pairs strategic, data-informed judgment with genuine scrappiness and a strong bias to action: someone who takes ownership and moves work forward in ambiguity rather than waiting for direction.

What You’ll Do

• Own and drive the learning content roadmap, setting priorities, sequencing initiatives, scoping work, and making the calls needed to move work from idea to launch
• Decide which content and curriculum opportunities to pursue and prioritize across the product portfolio, balancing strategic value, market positioning, and learner impact
• Own the quality of the overall learner experience with our content, establishing and upholding standards for excellence
• Own the response to test-maker changes, moving quickly to keep test prep content accurate, current, and competitive
• Be the central storyteller about our instructional content roadmap, clearly communicating the “why” behind decisions and building enthusiasm among your colleagues for the value the work will bring to students

Research, Analysis & Opportunity Identification

• Regularly conduct research and analysis to identify opportunities to strengthen the digital content experience and increase the market value of TPR and Tutor.com content
• Scope high-priority content improvement initiatives, define the problem sharply, and build the case and alignment to get them greenlit and moving
• Monitor the competitive landscape and learner experience trends to proactively identify emerging needs, product gaps, and opportunities that should inform the content roadmap

Cross-Functional Program Planning & Collaboration

• Lead cross-functional program planning, research, and development across the entire product portfolio in support of content priorities and needs
• Collaborate with leaders across Product, Editorial, Instructor Development, Technology, and Operations to discover, define, and implement initiatives that impact the content roadmap or require support from the content development team
• Partner with Product and content development leaders to ensure roadmap initiatives are clearly scoped, dependencies are identified, and sequencing reflects business priorities

Team & Management

• In the future, this role’s responsibilities may expand to include direct management of additional content team members as the function grows

Who You Are

• Bachelor’s degree required; advanced degree in Education, Communications, or related field a plus
• 8+ years of experience in product management, content strategy, or a related field — ideally building or shaping learning products — with at least 2 years in a senior or lead capacity
• Demonstrated ability to develop and own a content roadmap, translating strategic priorities into clearly scoped, actionable initiatives
• Strong research and analytical skills, with experience using data and qualitative insights to identify content opportunities and make prioritization decisions
• Proven track record of leading cross-functional initiatives and influencing without direct authority across Product, Editorial, and Operations stakeholders
• A strong bias to action and genuine scrappiness — you take ownership in ambiguity, operate with urgency, and drive outcomes without waiting to be told how
• A compelling storyteller who can build the narrative for an initiative — the why, the opportunity, and the path forward — and use it to bring stakeholders and leadership along
• Deep understanding of content systems, content development workflows, and process improvement methodologies
• Deep familiarity with test prep, educational publishing, or digital learning products; direct experience in the test prep space is a significant advantage
• Exceptional communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to synthesize complexity and drive alignment across multiple teams and leadership levels
• Experience managing direct reports and supporting professional development preferred
