Pearson
Job Title
Product Director (IC)
Location Remote
Job Type Full-Time
About Pearson At Pearson, we are committed to helping people make progress in their lives through learning. We create innovative and accessible educational products and services that foster personal and professional growth.
About the Job We embrace the SVPG Product Operating Model by empowering our product teams to solve hard problems – customer problems and business problems – in ways that our customers love yet work for our business. Our product teams are cross‑functional, durable and generally comprised of a product manager, product design, tech lead and a program manager (4‑in‑a‑box model).
We staff our product teams with the skills necessary to come up with effective solutions that are valuable (our customers choose to buy or use), viable (the solution works within the many constraints of the business), usable (the user can figure out how to use) and feasible (our engineers have the skills and technology to implement).
This job, as with the other roles on the product team, is an individual contributor role. You will need to be able to influence your teammates, as well as colleagues, stakeholders and key executives, through your use of data and logic. The product manager must collaborate closely with their product designer and engineers to discover effective solutions and then work together to deliver those solutions to market.
Necessary Qualifications
Proven track record over multiple years as an individual contributor product manager responsible for value and viability of solutions
Proven ability to go deep and quickly learn new domains, as well as solid understanding of all major parts of the business
Demonstrated understanding of the techniques and methods of modern product discovery and product delivery
Demonstrated ability to learn multiple functional areas of business – engineering, design, finance, sales, or marketing
Demonstrated ability to figure out solutions to hard problems with many constraints, using sound judgement to assess risks, and to lay out your argument in a well‑structured, data‑informed, written narrative
Proven ability to engage with both individual contributors and leaders of all levels in constructive and collaborative relationships
Responsible for assisting with quarterly strategic planning, defining OKRs and developing a roadmap
Proven ability to own a strategic pillar, and develop and get buy‑in for a product strategy based on that pillar
Compensation The minimum full‑time salary range is between $165,000 - $185,000. This position is eligible to participate in an annual incentive program. Information on benefits offered is available.
Application Deadline Applications will be accepted through December 22nd. This window may be extended depending on business needs.
