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. We are looking for a passionate and skilled Product Director (IC) to join our team and drive the development of cutting‑edge educational products.
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). While the product designer is accountable for ensuring the solution is usable, and the engineers are accountable for ensuring the solution is feasible, the product manager is accountable for ensuring the solution is both valuable and viable. The product manager must contribute solid knowledge of the various constraints of the business such as from marketing, sales, support, finance, legal and privacy, as well as a deep knowledge on our users and customers, and data about how our customers engage with our products. The product manager is expected to track industry trends and the competitive landscape as they pertain to their product. 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. The product manager must also be able to influence teammates, stakeholders and key executives through the use of data and logic. Shipping is necessary, but not sufficient – the product manager must not be afraid of signing up for results, even if that means working through others to achieve them.
