12d • Remote

About The Position

Circuit Stream delivers hands-on, career-focused learning for adults ready to upskill or change careers, as well as future-focused programs for youth. We partner with leading universities across North America to provide applied education that helps learners build practical skills and open new opportunities. Together with the University of Toronto School of Continuing Studies, we offer a 21-week online Product Management Bootcamp designed to prepare adult learners for real product work. We are looking for an experienced product manager who can turn industry experience into clear, practical, and engaging instruction. This is not a role for someone who wants to read from a slide deck and log off. You’ll help aspiring product managers understand how products are actually discovered, prioritized, built, launched, measured, and improved. Over 21 weeks, you’ll guide learners through product strategy, discovery, road-mapping, user experience, stakeholder management, growth, analytics, experimentation, and AI-enabled product management. Students will complete assignments, portfolio projects, and a capstone project, giving you a direct role in helping them become more confident and job-ready.

Requirements

• At least three years of hands-on product management experience, with direct ownership of products, features, or meaningful product outcomes.
• Experience launching, managing, or improving products in a technology company, startup, scale-up, enterprise, or similarly complex organization.
• Strong knowledge of product strategy, discovery, road-mapping, prioritization, Agile delivery, customer research, experimentation, analytics, and data-informed decision-making.
• Working familiarity with common product tools such as Jira, Figma, SQL, Mixpanel or similar analytics tools, and modern AI tools used in the product workflow.
• Confidence discussing AI product design, responsible AI, LLM capabilities and limitations, and how AI is changing the work of product managers.
• Strong presentation, facilitation, written communication, and interpersonal skills.
• The ability to make complex product concepts accessible without oversimplifying them.
• The maturity to give direct feedback while remaining encouraging, respectful, and focused on learner growth.
• Availability for the full cohort schedule, including live classes, monthly technical labs, lesson preparation, marking, meetings, and student support.

Nice To Haves

• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in Business, Marketing, Computer Science, Design, Engineering, or a related field is preferred, but equivalent product experience will be considered.
• Previous teaching, facilitation, mentorship, coaching, workshop delivery, or team-development experience is strongly preferred.

Responsibilities

• Lead two engaging, instructor-led online classes each week for adult learners, using a learner-centered and project-based approach.
• Translate product management frameworks into practical decisions, trade-offs, examples, and exercises drawn from real product work.
• Teach core topics including product lifecycle management, strategy, discovery, customer research, road-mapping, prioritization, user experience, stakeholder management, growth, analytics, experimentation, and responsible AI.
• Demonstrate how product managers use tools such as Jira, Figma, SQL, Mixpanel, ChatGPT, and other AI-enabled product tools.
• Guide learners through in-class challenges, assignments, portfolio projects, and a final capstone project.
• Provide timely, specific, and constructive feedback that helps students improve both their thinking and their deliverables.
• Share real product wins, failures, tensions, and lessons learned—not sanitized theory.
• Create an online classroom where working professionals feel comfortable asking questions, challenging assumptions, and learning from one another.
• Prepare thoroughly for each class and adapt delivery based on student comprehension, participation, and feedback.
• Mark assignments and projects consistently against established rubrics and academic standards.
• Collaborate with technical lab instructors, career coaches, curriculum staff, and program operations to create a connected learner experience.
• Communicate proactively about learner progress, attendance concerns, curriculum gaps, or anything that could improve course outcomes.
• Contribute feedback to the ongoing refinement of the curriculum so it remains current with industry practice and emerging AI capabilities.

Benefits

• The opportunity to help adult learners build the confidence and practical skills required to move into product management.
• A part-time contract designed to fit alongside a full-time role, consulting practice, or other professional commitments.
• The ability to teach remotely while building your profile as a product educator and mentor.
• A developed curriculum, instructor onboarding, program support, technical labs, and career services working alongside you.
• A community of instructors, industry professionals, and university partners to connect with and learn from.
• The chance to sharpen your own facilitation, leadership, mentorship, and product communication skills.
