• Technology Integration: Align mobile and web platform efforts, ensuring consistency across codebases, developer experiences, and shared infrastructure such as analytics, feature flags, and design systems.
• Data‑Driven Decisions: Use analytics platforms to monitor key product metrics and performance, identify opportunities for optimization, and present actionable insights to the leadership team.
• Competitive Analysis: Stay up‑to‑date with industry trends, market needs, and competitor offerings to keep the product competitive and innovative.

Qualifications

• Technical Expertise: Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent practical experience. Solid understanding of building platform products. Experience in mobile platforms is compulsory, web platform a plus.
• Product Management Experience: 6+ years of experience as a Technical Product Manager, preferably in an EdTech, language learning, or mobile app environment.
• Product Management Skills: Proven experience managing product development cycles, including writing technical requirements and overseeing development sprints.
• Communication & Collaboration: Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to communicate technical concepts to non‑technical stakeholders and vice versa.
