Product Manager, Teachers Pay Teachers (TPT)

IXL Learning • Raleigh, NC

7h • Hybrid

About The Position

TPT (Teachers Pay Teachers) is the world’s largest marketplace for innovative educational content created by and for educators, and used by 85% of K-12 teachers in the US. We have big plans for expanding and building up this immensely popular platform, and are looking for a Product Manager to help drive this growth. Consider applying if you are technically-minded, a fast learner, eager to help connect more teachers with TPT, and are interested in creative strategies for optimizing products for search. You’ll need an open mind and be willing to wear a lot of hats. If you have beliefs about how product management is done, based on experiences at other tech companies, you must be willing to abandon them. We probably don’t do it the way you’re used to. #LI-CC1 We believe that great product managers often come from unexpected places. If this sounds like a role you’d excel at, but you don’t have the typical background, we’re open to being convinced. This is a full-time position in our Raleigh, NC area office. The work schedule for this role is Monday-Friday in the office with the option to work from home one day per week.
