This includes supporting two Sr. Product Managers in being responsible for course portfolios such as Trades, Business, Legal, and Advanced Manufacturing.

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.
