SUMMARY OF POSITION

Meteor Education is seeking a strategic, outcome-driven Director of Product Management to lead the development, execution, and scaling of internal technology platforms and digital solutions that drive operational excellence and business transformation. This role is responsible for owning the vision, strategy, and roadmap for our enterprise product portfolio—ensuring solutions align with organizational priorities while meeting the needs of cross-functional stakeholders. This role does not manage customer-facing commercial products but instead focuses on enabling internal users and systems through enterprise platforms.

Reporting to an executive leader and managing a team, the Director will define the product function, instill product discipline across teams, and foster a culture of ownership, innovation, and accountability. This role requires a strong balance of strategic thinking and operational execution. The ideal candidate thrives in a fast-paced, evolving environment and is adept at translating complex organizational needs into scalable, user-centric digital solutions.

Ideal candidates will bring experience in operationally complex environments, ideally within SaaS, education, or technology-enabled service industries, and have a strong understanding of data governance, automation, and analytics tools. A natural cross-functional leader, the Director must be as comfortable with business strategy as they are with agile execution—ensuring that the product roadmap supports long-term value while delivering meaningful impact today.

At Meteor, we are united by our mission to create learning environments that improve outcomes for students across the country. The Director of Product Management will model these values while building and leading a high-performing product function that empowers teams and drives measurable impact.
