About The Role:
As Lead Product Manager, you will lead our Student Success product line, empowering educators to continuously assess, diagnose, and take action using whole child data to improve student outcomes. You’ll be responsible for the full lifecycle of the product line—owning its vision, strategy, and execution—and delivering both exceptional customer impact and meaningful business outcomes.
This is a high-ownership, high-impact role for an experienced product leader who can hit the ground running. You’ll lead strategic initiatives, make tough, data-informed tradeoffs, and guide your team in building scalable solutions that drive measurable results. You’ll operate with a high degree of autonomy, regularly presenting direction and results to senior leadership and influencing cross-functional planning and priorities.
In close collaboration with Engineering, Revenue, Marketing, Client Experience, Research, and Design, you’ll drive initiatives that maximize product performance and ensure tight focus and alignment. As a strong squad leader, you’ll bring clarity to complex challenges, prioritize ruthlessly, and foster a culture of impact, collaboration, and innovation.
This role is highly strategic, analytical, and technical. You’ll become an expert in the data that powers our insight-to-action and MTSS tools (multi-tiered systems of support), and will define, track, and act on meaningful KPIs to ensure strong, measurable outcomes for educators and students.
This role reports to the Senior Director of Product and is pivotal to Panorama’s continued growth and impact in K–12 education.
Responsibilities:
- Product Vision & Roadmapping: Shape a clear, compelling vision and roadmap for the Student Success product line that aligns with Panorama’s strategic goals. Regularly synthesize input from clients, teammates, and internal data to ensure the roadmap delivers maximum value with available resources.
- Business Outcome Ownership: Own strategic initiatives and outcomes within the Student Success product line. Go beyond the roadmap to identify and activate levers that improve adoption, retention, client satisfaction, and business performance.
- Cross-Product, Platform Approach: Take a holistic approach, in collaboration with other Product Managers, to identify and drive cross-product line opportunities (a 1+1=3 approach), with Student Success at the heart of our product suite.
- Impactful Product Execution: Lead your squad to deliver on the roadmap with strong focus, velocity, and quality. Drive alignment, break down complex problems, and ensure teams are solving the highest-impact challenges through iterative, lean product development. Foster a squad culture of high impact, collaboration, and innovation.
- Client Engagement & Complex Problem Solving: Engage with clients and internal partners to understand, prioritize, and solve nuanced product challenges. Translate complex educator needs and real-world constraints into scalable solutions that balance short-term wins with long-term vision.
- Deep Reporting & Analytics Expertise: Leverage your reporting and analytics expertise to transform raw data into actionable insights that help educators drive student support, especially within MTSS.
- Exceptional Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate closely with Engineering, Design, Research, Client Experience, Revenue, and Marketing to develop, launch, and iterate on product features. Drive clarity and alignment across stakeholders and act as a strategic connector between teams.
- Strong Fluency with Data and KPIs: Define and own key product metrics that measure product success and client impact. Regularly analyze product usage, performance, and business KPIs to inform decisions, validate value delivery, and make tough prioritization trade-offs.
Our Ideal Candidate Has:
- 7+ years of product management experience, ideally with reporting, analytics, MTSS, or edtech products, and a strong grasp of educators’ real-world needs and the technical and adaptive challenges districts face
- A proven track record of developing and executing multi-year strategies for complex, core product lines—driving KPI-focused growth while aligning with evolving customer needs and business goals
- Deep customer empathy and insight-gathering experience, including leading discovery efforts, managing escalations, and translating client needs into scalable product strategies
- Strong analytical and communication skills, leveraging data to make strategic decisions and effectively engage stakeholders around complex priorities
- A self-starter mindset, skilled at navigating ambiguity, solving complex problems, and driving cross-functional execution with autonomy and clarity
- A collaborative spirit, excelling at cross-functional work across Engineering, Research, Client Experience, Revenue, Marketing, and Design, and fostering shared accountability
- Strong communication skills, with a history of effectively engaging stakeholders and articulating product priorities, particularly in complex or nuanced areas
- Experience mentoring other Product Managers, and upleveling your product teammates even when not in a direct manager role (potential for people management in future, not required)
