Job Description
Come shape the future of education with us.
n At Compass, we're transforming the way schools manage their day-to-day operations - from finance and payments to communication, events and administration.
n Clipboard, part of the Compass ecosystem, is transforming how schools manage extracurricular programs - from registrations and attendance through to communications and payments - helping schools run sports, music, clubs and everything else outside the classroom.
n We combine the pace and ownership of a product-focused team with the scale and impact of a broader education technology ecosystem supporting thousands of schools globally.
n We're now looking for a Product Owner to join our Clipboard team!
n
About The Role & Team
n
You'll work closely with the Clipboard Product Manager to turn roadmap priorities into shipped products across Clipboard EMS and Clipboard Compete. It's a hands‐on, high-agency role – you'll own delivery of your areas end‐to‐end and be accountable for the outcomes, not just the outputs.
n You'll sit at the intersection of customers, business and engineering – staying close to schools using the product, translating between commercial stakeholders and engineers, and using AI tooling in your own workflow to move quickly from idea to shipped feature.
n Deliver against the Clipboard roadmap:
n
n
Turn the Clipboard roadmap and priorities into shipped work across Clipboard EMS and Clipboard Compete – from problem, through to shipped, through to success
n
Report on progress so the team always knows what's shipping and what's blocked
n
Work in fast cycles, breaking work into small increments and shipping iteratively rather than waiting on big releases
n
Support how Clipboard connects and interfaces with other systems across the Compass Group
n
n
Work across customers, business and engineering
n
n
Represent the product with customers directly – staying close to them, acting as the voice of the customer inside the business, and using that signal to validate the right bets quickly
n
Talk credibly to business stakeholders and engineers, translating between the two
n




Bring a working understanding of design and be comfortable making design calls
n
Reason well across the four areas of product risk: value, viability, feasibility and usability
n
n
Build and get things done
n
n
Bring a builder mindset – get concrete and hands‐on, moving quickly to turn ideas into shipped products. You don't need to ship code, but you do need to get things done
n
Add just enough process to move fast, without over‐engineering it
n
Use AI tooling in your own workflow to compress discovery, prototyping and delivery
n
n
Support growth
n
n
Contribute to new logo growth for Clipboard, helping more schools discover and adopt the product
n
Help expand the value Clipboard delivers to schools, deepening usage and growing Clipboard's footprint
n
Help make Clipboard work seamlessly alongside the wider Compass suite, so schools get a connected, joined‐up experience across their tools
n

About You
n
We're looking for someone with 1-3 years of product experience in SaaS, or equivalent experience as a designer, engineer or similar who's moving into product.
n
n
High energy and high agency – you think fast, move fast, adapt
n
A clear, efficient, confident communicator – when you speak, people know exactly what you mean
n
Genuine ability to own your work and be accountable for it, following things through to done rather than letting them drift to someone else
n
Comfort with ambiguity and speed, with the instinct to add just enough structure without over‐engineering it
n
A working understanding of design, enough to make good calls on product decisions
n
Fluency with AI tooling in a real build workflow
n
Malleable and adaptable – you keep pace with change, adjust to shifting priorities,



and get concrete rather than staying high‐level
n
n
