About The Position

Early education is one of the most important determinants of childhood outcomes, a critical support for working families, and a $175B market that remains underserved by modern technology. Brightwheel is the largest, fastest growing, and most loved platform in early ed, trusted by millions of educators and families every day. We are a three-time Cloud 100 company, backed by top investors including Addition, Bessemer, Emerson Collective, Lowercase Capital, Notable Capital, and Mark Cuban. Our team is passionate, talented, and customer-focused. We embody our Leadership Principles in our work and culture. We are a distributed team with remote employees across every US time zone, as well as select offices in the US and internationally. You’re an AI-native, experienced product manager who thrives in high-ownership environments and knows what it means to truly own a core product area. You’re energized by the full spectrum of the job — from iterating on live features to investing in greenfield 0→1 bets — and you have the judgment to know when to pursue each. You’re comfortable in ambiguity, decisive under pressure, and relentless about customer impact.

Requirements

5+ years of product management experience with meaningful ownership of a core product area
Proven ownership of complex, cross-functional product initiatives with measurable outcomes
Strong product judgment and prioritization — you know what to work on, what to cut, and can drive alignment while balancing speed, quality, and learning
Deep comfort with product metrics, experimentation, and funnel analysis (SQL a plus)
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including with executive audiences
A strong sense of ownership and bias toward action — you define the problem, you don't wait for it to be handed to you
AI fluency in your daily workflow — you use AI tools to move faster, go deeper, and operate more like a full-stack product owner across discovery, design, and execution
