Senior Product Manager at KaiPod Learning

Senior Product Manager

ABOUT US

KaiPod Learning is the nation’s fastest growing network of microschools.

We believe in a new education model that is personalized, flexible, and built around students, not systems. The traditional one-size-fits-all model is broken, and we are here to replace it with something radically better.

We power a fast-growing network of in-person microschools, giving families across the country access to high-quality, small-group learning environments. Behind the scenes, our tech platform is the engine that drives everything: academics, communication, student progress, school operations — and soon, much more.

We’re not here to make incremental change. We are building the infrastructure for a new category of education. That takes vision, speed, and a team unafraid to challenge the status quo.

We are backed by YCombinator, Reach Capital, and several other top venture firms.

ABOUT NEWTON

Newton is the platform powering a new era of education — one where learning is personal and schools are built by educators. Designed for the unique needs of microschools, Newton helps educators launch, grow, and run their programs with ease — combining tools for operations, academics, and family engagement into one seamless experience.

But Newton is more than a product. It’s the operating system for a movement — a reimagining of how education works at its core.

As the fastest-growing platform in the space, Newton is poised to shape the future of schooling for millions of students and families across the country.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We’re looking for a visionary and execution-oriented Senior Product Manager to take ownership of major product initiatives and help scale Newton into a platform that serves millions.

You’ll work directly with the CEO and the Product & Engineering teams to turn insights into strategy, ship delightful features across web and mobile, and guide our product to market leadership.

This is a hands-on, full-stack product role ideal for someone who loves building at early stage companies, working closely with users, and iterating quickly.

What You’ll Do:

• Own key product areas end-to-end — from discovery through delivery and iteration
• Lead customer interviews to inform priorities and develop clear specs, wireframes, and user stories
• Collaborate with design and engineering to build and launch high-impact features
• Analyze product usage data to uncover patterns, drive decisions, and measure success
• Explore and prototype how AI tools can improve automation, personalization, and educator support
• Support product marketing and customer success efforts with messaging, demos, and training materials
• Help onboard new partners and serve as a trusted product voice for our community of educators

ABOUT YOU

This is a highly strategic role with visibility at the highest levels — including our Board and investors. We are looking for a product leader who thrives in early-stage environments, embraces complex challenges, and is passionate about building products that create meaningful impact.

You might be a great fit if you are:

• A product leader with 5+ years of product management experience
• Experienced leading cross-functional teams through product discovery, design, and delivery
• Clear and compelling communicator with storytelling skills that drive stronger product decisions
• Familiar with agile development, design thinking, and iterative product processes
• Experienced in collaborating deeply with engineers and plan work
• Experienced in leveraging AI tools to enhance user experiences and operational efficiency

You must get energized by the ambiguity of an early-stage product and the opportunity to shape it from the ground up. You have to think big, sweat the details, and move fast.

Bonus points for:

• Experience with AI/ML-powered products
• Background in education, edtech, or mission-driven organizations

Our team (along with our network of learning locations) is spread across the country. You can choose to live anywhere in the US.
