To learn more, please see Cengage Group's Inclusion and Belonging .

What You'll Do Here

As an Associate Portfolio Manager (APM) on the Key Markets Team, you will support product lifecycle management, research, and go-to-market execution across our Advanced Career Training (ACT) catalogs. This includes supporting two Sr. Product Managers in being responsible for course portfolios such as Trades, Business, Legal, and Advanced Manufacturing. This role will also contribute to critical initiatives such as Canadian market expansion and Spanish / ELL programs, but will remain grounded in core catalog ownership, course development support, and cross-functional collaboration.

This role is ideal for someone who is :

  • Proficient in Spanish and English (spoken and written)
  • Proficient in balancing multiple tasks and handling projects in a dynamic, uncertain setting
  • Enthusiastic about learning, professional development, and growing worldwide projects

Key Responsibilities

Product Management & Course Development Support

  • Key Markets ACT catalog, supporting new builds, revisions, and updates for compliance requirements.
  • Take on a key support position in ed2go's Canada project and the Spanish / ELL market expansion.
  • Conduct competitive and market research (including bilingual research) to advise strategy and localization needs.
  • Draft and support Product Strategy Documents (PSDs), Product Launch Documents, and other required product planning materials.
  • Partner with Learning Designers, SMEs, and vendors to ensure course quality and relevance.
  • Represent PMs in meetings as needed; support with data analysis, launch logistics, pricing models, and return on investment planning.
  • Marketing and Sales Collaboration

  • Collaborate with marketing and sales teams on product launches and enablement materials.
  • Provide roadmap visibility and catalog insights to support academic partner conversations.
  • Collaborate with marketing and sales teams to enable the Canadian and Spanish initiatives through roadmap visibility, sales enablement, and go-to-market assets.
  • Assist with positioning and messaging for both existing courses and select critical initiatives.
  • (3PV) Vendor Support

  • Support the vendor onboarding process (NDAs, content reviews, Capsule CRM updates, training documentation).
  • Provide insights on 3PV content viability for international expansion.
  • What This Role is Not

    The Associate Portfolio Manager (APM) role at ed2go is distinct from Technical Product Management (TPM). While our TPM team focuses on internal and customer-facing applications, user stories, UX / UI design, and the customer journey, this role is centered on managing our course catalog, making build / buy decisions, supporting GTM strategies, and driving the success of our career training programs. The APM will work closely with cross-functional teams to conduct market research, analyze course performance, and contribute to portfolio strategynot software or feature development. If you have a background primarily in Technical Product Management (TPM) or software development, you are welcome to apply. However, we encourage applicants to include a cover letter outlining relevant product management experience specific to course content, market strategy, and catalog management.

    Skills You'll Need

  • Proficiency in English and French and / or Spanish (spoken and written) preferred
  • Strong multitasking and project management skills with the ability to thrive in fast-paced, ambiguous environments
  • Proven ability to synthesize structured and unstructured data into actionable strategies
