Job description

Senior Vice President, Product

Location : Flexible / Remote (with limited travel as needed)

Reports to : Chief Executive Officer (CEO)

Organization : Confidential — Global Professional Training Venture in Sustainable Finance

About the Organization

We are an emerging global training and learning platform focused on equipping professionals with the skills and knowledge to drive measurable impact in finance and investment. Backed by a leading international impact network and strategic alliances with established credentialing bodies, the organization is entering its first phase of growth—focused on building world-class training programs, digital learning experiences, and institutional partnerships.

Our near-term focus is on training excellence and commercial scale, with a long-term ambition to evolve into broader credentialing and recognition frameworks.

Position Summary

The Senior Vice President of Product will serve as the organization’s senior product leader, responsible for shaping and executing the product strategy across all professional and corporate training offerings. This role demands both creative vision and financial discipline—translating learning innovation into sustainable, high-return business models. Reporting directly to the CEO, the SVP will be accountable for developing economically sound product portfolios, aligning resource allocation with measurable business outcomes, and ensuring each new initiative is underpinned by a clear business case and return-on-capital logic. This position offers a succession path to Chief Product Officer (CPO) within two years, contingent on performance, growth delivery, and leadership maturity.

Core Responsibilities

  • Strategic Product Leadership

Develop a multi-year product roadmap grounded in market opportunity, financial modeling, and capital efficiency.

  • Prioritize initiatives based on ROI, payback period, and contribution to growth and margin targets.
  • Business-Case-Driven Product Management
  • Lead the financial and strategic evaluation of all new training products and platform enhancements.

  • Build and maintain business cases that incorporate market demand, pricing, cost structures, and profitability forecasts.
  • Partner with Finance to monitor product-level performance and optimize for sustainable unit economics.
  • Product Development & Lifecycle Management
  • Oversee design, build, launch, and continuous improvement of digital and blended learning programs.

  • Drive disciplined stage-gate and post-launch review processes to ensure accountability for performance metrics.
  • Market Insight & Innovation
  • Anticipate emerging trends in workforce learning and upskilling; translate them into commercially viable offerings.

  • Introduce modular, experiential, and AI-supported learning models that enhance outcomes and drive scalability.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration
  • Align product strategy with technology, marketing, and sales priorities to maximize enterprise value creation.

  • Manage relationships with learning partners and credentialing collaborators to strengthen market credibility.
  • Data-Driven Product Optimization
  • Define KPIs for financial and learning performance—enrollment, completion, satisfaction, and gross margin.

  • Use data analytics to guide product investment, pricing, and portfolio rationalization.
  • Team Leadership
  • Build and mentor a lean, high-impact product team combining creative and analytical capabilities.

  • Foster a performance culture that balances innovation with financial accountability.
  • Essential Skills & Qualifications

  • Strategic & Financial Acumen : Deep understanding of product economics, ROI modeling, and capital allocation principles.
  • Commercial Product Management : Proven success driving measurable revenue and profitability through disciplined product lifecycle management.
  • Market Fluency : Knowledge of adult, corporate, or professional training models, including bootcamps or online learning ecosystems.
  • Analytical Rigor : Ability to interpret data, financial statements, and market analytics to inform decision-making.
  • Leadership & Collaboration : Exceptional cross-functional leadership skills with experience influencing C-suite peers.
  • Innovation Mindset : Comfort integrating emerging learning technologies to achieve scale and operational leverage.
  • Experience Requirements

  • 10 years in product management, product strategy, or P&L leadership within EdTech, workforce training, or professional learning.
  • Demonstrated ability to build commercially successful digital or hybrid training products for adult learners or corporate clients.
  • Track record of managing budgets, investment cases, and product-level financials.
  • Experience operating in entrepreneurial or growth-stage environments.
  • Why This Role

    This is a rare opportunity to build a globally visible professional training enterprise from the ground up. The SVP of Product will lead the integration of business rigor and educational innovation, ensuring every product delivers both mission impact and measurable financial performance.

    The position offers a clear pathway to Chief Product Officer within two years—ideal for a commercially minded product executive who can blend vision, discipline, and impact at scale.
