[Hiring] Senior Product Manager @BusRight

Role Description

As a Senior Product Manager, you will be the connective tissue of the company, collaborating with all functional areas including sales, engineering, product, design, and strategy.

• Ensure that every decision in the company is aligned to the implications of the data about the product; track product engagement and performance metrics and keep everyone excited in the story it tells.
• Articulate and implement customer engagement opportunities like focus groups, Design Partner conversations, and Early Access programs.
• Serve as a product-focused mentor, when needed, for the Engineering team including periodically coding proofs of concept for new ideas, and designing use cases for testing.

Domain Focus: Platform

We're looking for a Product Manager to take ownership of the foundational platform capabilities that underpin every layer of BusRight's multi-product suite and will guide our growth into higher-scale partners.

• Own BusRight's identity and access model end-to-end.
• Lead the strategy and execution of BusRight's Student Information System (SIS) integration layer.
• Define and drive BusRight's reporting product.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Technology, Business, or a related field — or equivalent work experience.
• 5-8 years of experience in product management or a related role, preferably in a startup or fast-paced environment.
• Demonstrated understanding of identity and access management (IAM) concepts, role-based access control (RBAC), and permission modeling.
• Familiarity with SOC 2 Trust Service Criteria and experience working within or alongside a compliance program.
• Hands-on experience with data integration patterns, including REST APIs and SFTP-based file exchange; experience with K-12 SIS platforms (e.g., PowerSchool, Infinite Campus, Skyward) is a strong plus.
• Experience defining and shipping reporting or data visualization features for non-technical end users.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to influence and build consensus across diverse stakeholders.
• Solid experience working with a web and/or mobile-based tech stack or experience with Agile development methodologies.
• Outstanding critical listening skills with the ability to synthesize the communications of others clearly.
• Embodies the down-to-earth nature of our industry, is deeply passionate about education, and thrives in a collaborative, mission-driven environment.

Requirements

• Own your areas of the product: define their roadmap collaboratively with Product team peers and serve as the company-wide institutional knowledge on the "why" as it relates to product features and decisions.
• Lead and participate in agile ceremonies, fostering clear communication, decision-making, and collaboration within our self-organizing engineering and design teams.
• Build prototypes and work directly with development partners to measure and scale their success.
• Oversee successful product launches, ensuring timelines, quality, and stakeholder alignment, while tracking post-launch performance, gathering user feedback, and driving iterative improvements to meet company goals.
• Obsess over the entire product experience and develop a deep understanding of how each user receives value from BusRight.
• Meet with customers and work closely with our Customer Success team to identify collaboration opportunities for research and testing.
• Provide our GTM team with hand-off materials for new features and occasionally join prospect calls for research and roadmap alignment — particularly where compliance and integration capabilities are key to closing deals.

Benefits

• This is a chance to join a fast growing technology company early and make your mark on a territory and a team that’s transitioning how millions of students access their education every day.
• If you're energized by growth and driven by relationships we’d love to hear from you.
• We’re a remote team with hubs in New York City, Boston, Austin, and Poland.
