About the opportunity

Our client is looking for an education subject-matter expert to join as Product Owner. You’ll be the voice of the classroom inside the product team. This is not a traditional product manager role: senior leadership owns overall strategy, and you’ll own what the product needs to do for schools and how it works in practice.

What you’ll be doing

- Owning detailed product requirements and end-to-end customer journeys for teacher- and school-facing features, from planning and assigning to monitoring and reporting
- Spending regular time with schools to see how teachers and leaders actually plan, teach and use AI
- Joining and leading demos with curriculum leaders and key decision-makers, explaining the product in curriculum and instructional terms
- Capturing feedback, objections and emerging “DIY” patterns from schools, and distilling them into transparent insights for the product and leadership teams
- Shaping differentiated capabilities that schools can’t easily build on a generic LLM, such as curriculum alignment,



instructional model checks and quality oversight of AI-generated resources
- Maintaining and prioritising the backlog, writing clear acceptance criteria, and working closely with engineers to turn requirements and AI-assisted prototypes into production-ready features
- Helping to document and systematise expert knowledge so it can be shared and repeated across the team

What you’ll bring

- A background with an understanding of at least 3 of the following:
- Selling into schools
- Managing development teams
- Curriculum in schools and it's implementation
- Project management
- Clear written communication and a collaborative approach to working with technical teams
- Genuine curiosity about AI and how it’s changing teaching and learning

What’s on offer

- $120,000 base + super
- Fully remote, open to candidates anywhere in Australia (MUST HAVE FULL WORK RIGHTS FOR MINIMUM 12 MONTHS)
- Real influence over a product used in schools, with a fast-moving business at the forefront of AI in education
- A role built around your education expertise, bridging classrooms and technology
